I've thought about that too, but I don't like to think about it b/c to me that makes it even worse. If you're looking to get money from people to supply the cause they believe in--say so. Why do you have to go through all the bamboozle of saying "I'll pray for you in exchange for a $100 faith donation"? If you're really all about what Christianity is supposed to be about, then why pass yourself off as a false prophet only out for money to support a political cause?

Be a politician OR a man of God. Don't try to be both, I guess is what I don't like and can't respect.

All organized religion is to me anymore is snake-oil mixed with political agendas. Your own personal faith in a higher being is THE key. You believe in a preacher that told you something that God told him? You deserve to be damned in my eyes.

I'm not an atheist or agnostic. I'm anti-organized religion, but pro-personal faith, I guess is the terminology that I should use.
