A video supposedly exposing scandals surrounding well-known prosperity preacher Joel Osteen in Texas. With one or two possible exceptions, however, none of these facts or factoids are particularly scandalous. It seems the real problem the narrator has with Osteen is that the Texan pastor is insufficiently fundamentalist!
He works with Catholics, believes that Romney and Obama are real Christians, invited Oprah Winfrey to his mega-church (Oprah has promoted New Thought and New Age), and says very little about sin and damnation. Indeed, Osteen is popularly known as "the smiling preacher".
Now, the prosperity gospel isn´t my thing (I actually watched some of Osteen´s sermons on a Swedish public access channel years ago), but I´m almost tempted to say "wtf, I love Joel Osteen now" after looking at this content...
