"I saw somebody say that Joel Osteen looks like Martin Short pretending to be Tim Allen and I cant unsee it now, its the most accurate statement ever uttered."

who the fuck needs to be fed when they're dead? I'd be more convinced if he gave away everything tonight.

(32,598 posts)That's how these church-going people think, anyway. He's worth $100 million according to several estimates, owns 2 mansions and several expensive cars including a Ferrari. I thought I read somewhere that he also owns a yacht but I can't find it now.
He went to Oral Roberts University and did not graduate. He has no bachelor's degree, and never attended divinity school (or seminary.) I have no way to know if he'll give his money away, but he did donate to Hurricane Harvey relief 4 years ago. So who knows?

(32,598 posts)Remember when so many of the Katrina victims were bussed to Houston? Osteen didn't help them at all and got severely criticized for it. He could have built them a whole new city, like Habitats for Humanity or whatever. He did zilch.

I hope he chokes to death while eating off his silver platters.
And may ALL those who support him suffer daily in a self made unhappy hell here on the earth, and after on the chance there may be some sort of afterlife.
No pity for the wicked.
