Isn't he personally worth millions of dollars? Owns a load of radio stations I believe.

Also, most of the Churches in the world follow the writings of Paul more than anything else...Jesus never even advocated a separation from Judaism.

I guess the media only show us the noisiest and most extreme people in the media, like the Westboro Baptists and Harold Camping. It demonstrates that we shouldn't judge everyone of a particular creed or faith by the actions of the lunatics at the fringes.

Of course.

Usually when talking about faiths and creeds I refer to the doctrines themselves not the followers as people always make mistakes or misread things.

That's why I'm not very nice about some Abrahamic religions

I find it interesting that the predicted amount of people who were meant to be raptured equates roughly to the amount of psychopaths on earth... 200million. Check it.
