I'm watching televangelism
This dude behind a desk is telling me the end is near because the Bible predicts it and everything the Bible predicts comes true, and he starts reading very small passages of the Bible while the words are on screen, and he's saying "years" whenever the words on the screen say "days" - ?

And he's telling me he knows the worlds about to end?

How long can they preach that, and be wrong day after day, and still have success?

If there were a smilie for the rapid side to side head shake some do when confronted with really out there shit, I"d use it here.

Now there's some dude in a fine suit sitting in a gold-adorned king-size chair. Is he the new pope?

Now "Nation of Jesus" - rock music, crosses, preachers - all with an American Flag animated background. Reclaiming America for Jesus.

Part of the song said, "we're taking over."

Good God, I can't take it anymore.

Where the fuck is Celebrity Poker???!!!!

3. He's not the Pope, he's the Pimp.
The Pope is the head of a small nation-state with a TV network. The Pimp is the head of a small corporation with a TV network.
