In order to sew a seed and receive blessing from God do you actually have to give money to the rich preachers, using hours of television time begging for money? I would rather give my money to the poor. Someone that needs it. Could you imagine me over here driving a 2000 neon, giving the preacher guy/lady with the cadillac escalade 20 dollars LOL. That would just be plain funny. Sometimes i turn the tv there thinking im gonna get to hear soemthing positive and most of the time i just find them asking/begging for money AND TRYING TO CONVINCE YOU TO SEW A SEED. Dr. Phil has more positive coming from his show then theirs. How come Dr. Phil doesnt ask people for money everyday he helps alot of people? I know God likes to bless his people but you shouldnt have to beg for it for hours on tv. I will never donate to those that do such things. I would rather go to the little church down the road and pay them my ties. Anyways what do you think about this issue?

The preachers do it because unfortunately IT WORKS! Every day you go past people who are smart enough to tie their shoes, and hold down jobs and raise families, but are still too dumb to see that giving money to these charlatans is just flushing it down the drain.
Why these fools don't just cut out the (portly) middleman and give their charity directly to those that need it has always baffled me....

Religion is the ultimate con, it is government protected, tax free and the product they sell doesn't have to be delivered until you reach a place that doesn't exist. No wonder so many people jump on this manured money wagon. As long as people are stupid enough to need silly god concepts to give meaning to their pitiful lives, there will be con men out there willing to take it.

Because many people are dumb enough to listen. And send money!
HBO did a great program on the subject. They profiled Benny Hinn on one of his crusades. He claimed 75 miracle healings in one night. But not one could be verified. He coughed up 5 to test and all failed.
One poor couple really believed that Benny couldn't heal their son because they didn't have enough money to give him.
It breaks my heart.
God doesn't want our money. He wants our hearts.
