Hey a post from you with words instead of just a picture you copied! Who knew you had it in you! Congratulations!
Same. In fact, I’ve never read more than a few verses’ worth. The Bible can be a useful tool for instilling the impressionable with a decent code of principles, but you don’t need a Bible to do that. I find it little more than a fun stencil for pedestrian minds.

Thanks for rewording what I just said.
Thanks for agreeing that ‘god in schools’ means nothing.
Nice bumper sticker.

Totally agree. If those two are the basis for anti-religion sentiment, I would have to stand in agreement. Luckily, for anyone who actually seeks truth, they're the opposite.

I do not agree with Olsteen's teaching, but he's no leech.
He has never taken a nickel from '' his church''. His wealth is from the books.

What a load of garbage.
The guy is scum and he's only rich because of the church he leeches from.

SUMMARY POINTS:
- Joel Osteen takes NO salary from the church.
- Osteen’s initial wealth came from investments long before he became pastor.
- His current income comes almost entirely from NYT best selling book sales and enables him to continue to be the largest single donor to Lakewood
- Joel Osteen not only pays for all of his personal travel when conducting church business, he also pays it out of his pocket for his staff.

Joel Osteen inherited his church from his father. He then structured that business to funnel money from that business to himself through books and media.
Sheep like you can't see the light, you probably buy all his garbage lol.

Not at all. But Jesus set the example we are to follow:
- Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- Blessed are the meek: for they shall possess the land.
- Blessed are they who mourn: for they shall be comforted.
- Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
- Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
- Blessed are the clean of heart: for they shall see God.
- Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
- Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

I don't see anything about owning and driving cars either.
Blessed are they that ride the public bus or train.

Osteen isn't a public transportation spokesman, he's the Pastor of his church. He has taken on the responsibility of shepherding his flock.
Your trite response was off the mark, evoking no humor. Try again.

Blessed is the Fred Driver
Blessed is the FefEx Ground Driver that gets paid poorly because they make Fred as bad as Olsteen.

A more pointed reference is the quote ... It is harder for a rich man to go to heaven than it is to pass a rope through the eye of a needle.
Camel and rope are the same word in Hellinic Greek in the Middle East.
Makes one wonder what else was misinterpreted by the scribes in the Early Catholic church.
