In God We Tweet

how ironic: an imposter Robert Schuller - who is an imposter evangelist proclaiming an imposter gospel.

As a Catholic, I routinely don't watch or pay much attention to televangelists.
However, I have always had a lot of respect for Rev. Schuller.
He has a positive message and view of the world and approaches issues with a kindly, benevolent attitude that serves as an excellent model for many people in these depressive times.
He has really had his problems lately.
To paraphrase Rev. Schuller, he would probably say that he has two choices: he could get angry about an imposter or he could be grateful that he was adventurous enough to try the medium of Twitter and hence, discovering the false account, he could be able to correct the situation.
I hope he enjoys this new technology; just about anything he does that I've seen, he's turned to good advantage.
May God bless him.

Well let's make it against the law for televangelists to verbally ask for money on TV and radio and the problem will be solved!

Televangelists are modern day snake oil salesmen. Take away their ability to steal from old ladies and the mentally weak and they will all fold up their tent and look for a new way to scam - elsewhere.

It is funny that it happened to Schuler - The televangelist who faked letters to his flock about his fantastic success during a trip to china ...before he left for the trip! I guess God has made Schuler a psychic, too. Wow what a powerful relationship with God he must have... What with being allowed to be a multi-millionaire in a world where the bible says you can't serve BOTH God and Mammon?

I guess Schuler must be GHod's fav preacher or something to give him a pass on all of that!

Golly!

"We can't have imposter televangelists asking for money that rightly belongs to real televangelists. Is nothing sacred?"

He did NOT really say that! LOL That's the funniest g*d d*mn thing I've read all day!!

I think it's funny as hell that Schuler found he has an imposter online. Certainly, if it can happen to Keith Olberman or some of the others, why can't it happen to Schuler? Does he think that somehow he has a special dispensation from God Almighty or something? He must, or he wouldn't have gotten so flustered over it.

Like most all evangelicals I've run across, he thinks himself somehow special and above the fray. Those of us on the progressive left know better. No one is immune and now one is more special than the others.

I second what MS1234 wrote. What a genius observation! When the fake prophets cut into the profits of the propheteers...

What cash buildith up, let no outsider tear asunder. How dare the uninitiated try to get in on his scam. Next thing you know, every back alley bible school graduate will be aiming for the big league cash cows.

Question: Why isn't Schuller in jail?

why believe in an evil god who can't build his own churches or collect his own money?
any god that needs business agents like the one mentioned above can't be "all powerful" since he needs a business agent.

Samites everywhere may rest secure in the certainty that samsingleton on Twitter is the one and only actual and original Sam Singleton Atheist Evangelist, your own Brother Sam.

Yep! Pastor Schuller don't won't no-one cuttin' in on his action! I can hear him now....."Please send money so I can stop this evil imposter and restore my good name. Support my Twitter ministry. LOL! He wanted a twitter account for what - his own bank account - oh I'm sorry, the LORDS bank account. What is it with god, for an all powerful being, he sure needs a lot of money!

It's good to know that the real representative of the invisible being can solicit funds through Twitter. We can't have unauthorized representatives of the invisible being taking money under false pretense.

Let no one solicit funds for God unless he has a signed and notarized request from God.

Magazine publishers keep a list of the names of prominent individuals - celebrities, newsmakers, media personalities and the like - to run against subscription requests because of all the idjits who fill out subscription cards in these people's names. Seems like Twitter has the same problem and needs to do a little better due diligence - otherwise someone WILL run a send-money scam and they could be held liable.
