In response to a complaint

Billy Graham was the only one I ever trusted. He was the real deal.

What was "real" about him?



Net assets of his "ministry" last year; $394,798,811.



Just another con artist making money from the fear and paranoia of American citizens. Even when dead.

Jesus H. His boy took over the minsitry. And he has that mega charity, Samartan's Purse.

To the American mind, anything that turns a buck is fair play.



Toxic food, cigarettes, sugar loaded drinks, firearms, news media, violence, fake wrestling, opiates and of course, religion.



If there's money in it, America will corporatise it.

That describes most countries..



As for faith, I remember Seoul saying that the church has more influence in South Korea than any country he has ever seen.

It is akin to ALL capitalist countries...but which other country has a massive evangelical industry, or a fast food/soft drink industry, or a massive firearms industry, or massive tobacco corporations, or fake news outlets, or drug company opiate dealers???



In what country did Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses, Christadelphians and Mormons arise?



As a Christian, I'm sure you'll have views on the integrity of American religious organisations.



Comparing other countries to America isn't comparing apples with apples. Of all the nations of the world past and present, America is unique.

We have all those things in Canada..



My husband and I are five point Calvinist Christians.....so the dispensationalism alone of those types of easy believism ministries was antithetical to us.

I said "merits"....

[Bricktop]

Well, if they confined their filthy habits to their own country, you'd have a point.

[Frood]

They don't have the market on merits or misconduct....



Victoria is a good case study.

[Bricktop]

No country is free of those commodities.

[Frood]

So why pin what no country is free of onto a country that is the most free, or up until recently, more free than anywhere else.... for better and worse?
