What's this, a contradictary preacher dude on cable right now?!
Joel Estreen, big "Christian" loudmouth evangelical preacher guy. Blabbing on about how Christian people need to stay away from the lazy and the negative people...

Then he spouts off, rhetorically asking negative people why they're in a rut? He then says the negative people need to seek out the positive people.

Yeah, but he just told the positive people to stay away from the negative people because the negative people will eventually rub off on the positive people and drag them down! :eyes:

:wtf:

You'd have to see it in order to believe it. Or rather be amazed at this weirdo. Check that, nobody should be watching this contradictary fool...

He's on BET right now. Not sure why BET is airing a program that's 100% saltine cracker, but oh well...

1. I think some of these preacher shows pay to be on, like infomercials
That could be why it's on BET.

2. Do you mean Joel Osteen?
If so, he's a Houston, TX evangelical who owns Lakewood Church. His show is on the local Christian channel all the time. LC just made a deal with the city to take over the former Compaq Center where the Houston Rockets basketball and Houston Aeros hockey teams played. I'm sure the taxpayers got the shaft. Both those teams now play in the new Toyota Center (yeah, just like a car dealership) which was supposed to add to Houston's "image", again at taxpayer expense. Only problem is that now they can't fill up the new venue with any "fans". The basketball situation is bad but the hockey "crowds" are down right embarrassing. For the New Year, Houston will have the Super Bowl, a new Mayor, a light rail line and perhaps some optimism.
