Name It And Claim It

Here's a great article updating the progress of Sen. Grassley's investigation of several televangelists. I would add that even the ones who are cooperating, like Joyce Meyers, still operate under some very reprehensible practices and still rake in mountains of money (legally) from trusting, struggling believers.

Critics acknowledge the idea that God wants to bless his followers has a Biblical basis, but say prosperity preachers take verses out of context. The prosperity crowd also fails to acknowledge Biblical accounts that show God doesn't always reward faithful believers...

Uh, what about this critic, who says it's obviously all a load of swindler horseshit and that these mountebanks are preaching credulity and then reaping its rewards as they smugly grin asscheek to asscheek?
