UPDATE, HE'S OPEN: Social media rains scorn on Joel Osteen for closing megachurch after hurricane

[Double Burger With Cheese]

I'm not angry and I never was angry I'm just frustrated with how black people continuously take up for preachers of all races that don't practice what they preach.

I feel you, but with expectations comes disappointment. When you start expecting shyt out of individuals or groups of people, you will almost always experience disappointment/frustration.

People take up for preachers cause they are brainwashed or truly have faith in those people/churches. And at the end of the day, what the fukk can you do about it? Everyone's spirituality is individual. If they want to put their faith in certain people/churches/religions that look fraudulent to the next man, then you have to let them. Everyone has their own path.

The important thing for you to do is practice self mastery. You can't save the world and if you could, it would tell you it was straight. Kind of how you can't save a hoe. They don't wanna be saved. Also there is no such thing as right and wrong. So nobody's right an nobody's wrong.

It doesn't matter bro. Damned if he did and damned if he didn't.

People are fickle and will always find out a way to criticize what you do, even if it is for a good cause.

Damned if he did how?

If the Church was flooded, or it was unsafe to allow people to be there at the time then that's understandable, but after announcing the doors would be closed and unable to shelter those in need, the statement changed to something like "Once all the other shelters fill up we'll allow people to come to the church for shelter" after all of the social media backlash.
That goes against his previous implication that the church was inaccessible due to flooding.

I agree.

Major PR blunder.

I seriously hope you don't believe the foolishness you just spouted.

So if there is no right and wrong, raping little kids is ok in your eyes?

Nygga log off and seek help. ASAP!

I have no problem with the Joel osteen bashing, we knew he was a crook before this. You can't use this particular situation to bash religion though because a lot of religious and Christian people hate that man.

 

[Lamar Givens]

Damned if he did how?

If someone would have gotten hurt, assaulted etc, he would have been blamed for not having enough security personnel.

It's sad to say, but even in a major crises like this people are opportunists and know that he has deep pockets.

Before someone says I'm attacking Christianity, I'm not. I'm a Christian (or at least I try to be). I'm attacking Joel Osteen.

All of these prosperity Preachers are snakes. They treat God's word like a business and that rubs me the wrong way. Jesus had no desire for material possessions whatsoever and lived with the people, yet this cac uses the Gospel to enrich himself, make $40 million a year and live in sprawling gated mansions. If you wanna make millions in business and investments like everybody else, great. These dudes using the Bible to enrich themselves though have twisted and perverted it's meaning. Christianity is about helping other people find salvation and about helping spread God's message. It's not about helping Creflo Dollar buy jets or helping Joel Osteen get rich. Jesus was about helping the poor and the sick and the people but you using his message to buy Ferraris. They'll have to answer for that on Judgement Day.

You say you try to be Christian? Why? Do you think you can't be a good person without it?

 

[Rell Lauren]

This has the makings of a Superdome situation.

Phony ass

I don't argue with fools lil nikka. I'm only gonna have productive, educational debates with respectfull and knowledgeable people. Aditionally, you have the posting style of a fakkit, and I definitely don't go back and forth with gay men.

It has nothing to do with being a good person, it's about having your sins forgiven.
