[QUOTE=TrulliLulli;49454996]these guys are clearly insane[/QUOTE]No they're actually the sanes ones if you think about it. You think they actually believe everything they say when preaching on those stages? Lol, they're profiting off of millions of people and they're fully aware of it, the whole "voice for God" thing is just an act that nets them a shit load of money.

I don't know if I can consider sociopathy sanity.
Long tube with a bunch of demons aka those vile poor people
These people teach what is called the "prosperity gospel" and are derided across the country by anyone who actually reads their Bible. They're generally liked by nominal Christians who's Bible knowledge consists of watching TBN.

Not "normal" Christians, but Christians and others really down on their luck. Cancer patients, poor people, and others look up to people like them with the understanding that these people have a direct line to God and can fix their financial and health-related woes. Outside of that, the target market becomes more fundamentalist, which is inherently not normal.

TBH, from personal experience, the kind of Christian that follows these people are basically the opposite of what you've said. They're generally middle-upper class who don't have a lot of issues and don't participate in any real Christian community. They get their theology from the TV. Fundamentalist Christians probably dislike these people more than anyone else because their theology is so far removed from the Bible.
Hey, they're bullshitting people out of money with the biggest and longest running scam in human history (IMO), I'm impressed.
But when they take it a step beyond that, the faith healers, saying donate to us, forget going to doctors, forget paying that debt, donate that money to US and you will have good fortune, that's where I say fuck you, I hope your pirvate jet crashes on the golf course you wanted to play on. In fact I bet they're on medication in their older age now. Blood pressure medication perhaps. Why not pray that away instead of take the pills. Practice what you preach if it's so infallible and certain
That's what I thought
