Two TV preachers just can't stop grifting...

Too bad "Hell" doesn't exist, because these guys would get dumped in the lowest regions.

Multi-millionaire televangelist Kenneth Copeland told his viewers that even if they lose their jobs because of the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak, they must continue giving to the church: “Whatever you do right now, don’t you stop tithing!”




Finally, having been banned from selling his falsely advertised coronavirus-killing silver solution, Jim Bakker has now begun selling “medicinal seeds” bundles from which viewers can grow plants to “make your own medicine.”

I've been a Christian of some sort for most of my life, and the churches I belonged to preached of what the Church should do for "The least of these..."

Not what we should do for millionaire preachers.

Jesus' words, not some carnival grifter in preacher's clothes.
