It doesn't matter what you call people like Joel Osteen, Benny Hinn... any of them. They're terrible human beings who use the name of Christ to make fortunes for themselves. Followers of this jackass are complete fools. But saying he represents Protestantism is the same as saying the American Catholic Church supports pedophilia. Wait... that one is true

Have to be honest with ourselves though....those people that belong to that church know what that guy is about. They know the life he leads. If he wasn't the way he is, he wouldn't have a $50 million former nba arena as a church and a $10 million home. To anyone that was familiar with that church previously, I bet there was zero surprise he was passing those buckets. Gotta maintain.

Fair point, but can we not ignore how the dirty hands of American Protestantism?. From its genesis, it used race superiority politics to push many of its aims. It aligned itself with imperialism and colonialism, and conquering and dominating indigenous people/groups. Its behind the theft of resources and people from colonialized nations. Its behind the largest slaughters of ethnic groups in the 20th century (Germany and Belgium). And it has been weaved into our collective economic principles of capitalism (for good and bad).

Yet there is nothing remotely close to this found in the teachings of JC. Nothing.
