I am disgusted by con artists claiming to be Christians who take in the gullible with a convincing spiel, which ensures they part with their cash to keep those sewer rats in the style to which they have become accustomed. Many TV Evangelists are scammers, as are the so called 'healers' like the ghastly Benny Hinn. At present 'Trump' is conning the US Christian extremists, by pretending to believe in their unpleasant dogmas so he can secure himself another four years in office.
When did you ever go yo a meeting of these "scammers and con-artists" or go for healing?
Do you think any country can survive a godless governing body with no care for their citizens welfare? Just think piling people on a boat till it sank. What good becomes of such ships passengers
or a nations? Power and politics are fueled with greed. It produces need and the nations people become even more needier. Your attitude is the one they all bank on because it is the attitude which says " I am alright Jack, sod the rest". But once everyone is on board with your attitude they pull the rug under your feet and you become like those you have allowed to become poorer and guess what... the safety net you removed for those others is now not there for yourself. What would the governing people say when you complained? " You voted it in and supported it".
You see however life comes across survival is about looking out for each other and the best way of supporting others. You will reap what you sow.
Some Christians appear to be no better than secular clairvoyants when they claim god/Jesus is actually talking to them and passing on messages to their followers, which is often another method of lining their own pockets.
Most Christian ministries you mention actually spend their money on the poor of this world.
Look up Operation blessing 700 club. Look up Benny Hinn Charity missions and where the money of his ministry is spent. They don't sit at home complaining they are helping people everywhere
including natural disasters to rebuild their homes and lives. Why do not speak about these things? Truth is your only interested in what you believe and what you believe is wrong. But when you actually look at the reality of what these ministries do.... it is never about lining a pocket it is about helping others and sharing the truth about Christ.
Before a certain poster jumps down my throat, of course there are good Christians who wouldn't dream of doing any of those things, but sadly there are too many of the other sort, especially across the pond.
Good Christians by your standards or by Gods? So these Christians who would not dream of sending aid to children dying and saving those who were hit by deadly forces of nature. Who are they because someone needs to tell them that sharing the things God has given is pact and parcel of being a Christian, helping others with what we have left.
