The Patriarch of the Prosperity Gospel 
Handed down to him by the unholy elder of the Prosperity Gospel, Oral Roberts 

In this case of greed his insatiable desire for wealth would come at the
cost of people’s lives, while he slept like the little demon baby that he is, in
his 18,000 sq foot mansion situated on 25 acres 6 car garage, various
balconies, tennis court, circle driveway, boat docking station built for
multiple boats, and much more.

The Kenneth Copeland Airport, a private airport established by the
ministries, is visible to the north east of the home and has a private landing
strip and airplane hanger filled with millions of dollars worth of private jets
one of which he purchased from Tyler Perry.

Kenneth justifies being a man of God with all his riches by saying, “when
people drive by his house, "they will know there is a God."

Behind The Bastards Podcast

Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker broke into television in the heyday, when no medium could rival the Christian ripoff off of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Their televangelist show thrived at appealing to the sensibilities of bible belt stay at home wives with kids. The ratings soared and so did the ministry donations leaving Jim and Tammy in control of more money than they'd ever even thought of... but they knew just how to spend it. They went as far as breaking ground on a half baked attempt at a Christian Disneyland before envy got the best of an opportunistic rival in the ministry game: Jerry Falwell; and he was seeking to banish them from God's stage forever.  Sex, Drugs, and millions of stolen dollars are at the heart of this sordid Evangelical story.  And it wasn't just the predatory sexual encounter he had with 19 year old Jessica Hahn that landed him in jail, it was a forensic accounting look into his fraudulent use of viewers donations.  You'd think he'd spend his life repenting but no no, Jim Bakker is still to this day grifti-ng his way into vulnerable people's pockets selling end of times kits and Coronavirus cures.

Let me be clear - I don’t think Ted Haggard is a bad guy and it isn’t the hypocritical homophobia he preached or the meth habit that is his deadliest sin - it is the self loathing slothful crawl from grace that lasted years. Which, produced a  documentary & 3 books that sold because of our addiction to gossip, and our modern day-colosseum-like approach to building someone up, only to tear them down. But Perhaps, New Life Church and the Christian community at large, is the guiltiest party of all in this story, for just short of committing an actual hate crime, they condemned the man because they just couldn’t stomach a gay preacher.

The real story of True Detective is the Hosanna Church nightmare.  Set against the backdrop of rural Louisiana exists the real life grisly crimes against children of Louis Lamonica Jr, Austin Trey Bernard & up to 6 other adults all under the guise of Faith....but their Faith was not to God....but to Satan.  Many Satanic Panic stories have been proven to be exaggerated or false but the proof of this horrific story came straight from the mouths of the perpetrators in detailed confessions & from the first hand account of Army veteran J.P. Willie who's book "Blood In The Woods," documents growing up in that little Louisiana town & witnessing the bizarre happenings & aura of fear that knifed through the town.

Wrath is a sin that can turn a gentle God fearing man into a hateful man w a vendetta & the incestuous Televangelism world was a breeding ground for monetary & moral competition that played out like an 80s day time soap opera. Christianity says we shouldn't be a slave to our emotions & instead respond in a rational manner as God asks. A task that was impossible for our wrath fiend rivals Jimmy Swaggart & Marvin Gorman. They Regina George’d the hell out of each other in acts of blackmail, entrapment & public shaming. A mutually destructive feud that would ultimately ruin them both.

This one has it all sex scandals, police set ups & hidden cameras, all in the name of being the number one guy in God’s group.

Gluttony is the overindulgence and over consumption of anything to the point of waste. In Christianity, it is considered a sin if the excessive desire for anything, food, riches, etc causes it to be withheld from the needy.

Gluttony can be interpreted as selfishness; essentially placing concern with one's own impulses or interests above the well-being of others. -Insert our star glutton Robert Tilton who specifically targeted some of society’s poorest souls and rested easy at night in his enormous mansion paid for by the 80 million dollars a year he manipulated his followers into sending him.

Robert Tilton is a true glutton for money. He loves money so much he needs yours more than you do.
