I understand why people are turning away from religion. I haven't been to church in probably 7 years, but I remain somewhat religious. So last night I was really bored with what was on tv and flipped through some channels till I came to the block of channels on directv that are religion based.
The first one was some guy talking about a special healing oil he had that the lord told him 1000 people would send him $1000 for , but this was not a payment to purchase the oil, but a love offering. Come on, lets call it for what it is, snake oil salesman.
The next channel was a woman talking about Christ and so I listened thinking ok, this one is legit, until the conversation turned into why people should tithe and how 10% was not enough anymore and how she was told by God that there was 100 people in the audience that felt the need to give at least 50% of their income tonight.
Next channel was a guy named Grant Jeffrey. He was talking about the economy and how bad things were getting. I listened as he talked about a one world government and some of what he was talking about I considered and thought, well I guess its possible. Then he went totally off the deep end. He started to talk about how rfid was going to be used to tag everyone and everything so that they could be easily tracked. He told the audience that these chips were now the size of periods on a paper and were already in their clothing and food. How the government had satellites that could track them everywhere. Then he got on the whole government wire tapping issue.
He claimed the government had records of every phone call everyone ever made since the 1960's. He then added that everything they did on the internet was being monitored by the government and they were recording everything anyone did. That there were devices that could copy your computer without ever touching it. I thought, well surely the audience will not believe this garbage, but they were all shaking their heads in agreement. Hundreds of people believing this crap . Then he tries to tie it all in with bible verses.
This is the guys website. Looking at his books it is just hard to believe people read this garbage and think it is true.

I understand now why people are going away from religion. The idiots that are on tv promoting it , are just that, idiots. I wouldn't follow their advice if I was blind in a room with pits filled with razor blades.

I only have 1, and 90% of the time they've got some show on with grown men wearing togas and chatting about the issues in today's world totally normally, as if they've forgotten they're wearing togas... togas... :laugh:
