That was an amazing piece of satire. I actually did a google on it to see if it was true before I noticed the "satire" comment. However, I am REALLY scared that I actually thought that it could be true... That's it! I could be true. Too many of us pastors are drinking the red kool-aid and bowing at the "success" or die god and missing the kingdom message all together - and it scares the shit out of me as a pastor as well... God, please keep us from this!

Keep up the good work. God's peace!

and don't call on Him to save you
from your social graces
and the sins you used waive."
