This is... how shall I put it. He has a huge Israeli flag in his Gym. He gives money to the JCC here and they wont take it. He is very wealthy. His temple of Worship is one of the largest gaudiest things I have ever seen. I will give you a personal message about what type of guy I think he is. Holy Cow did you hit a spot. Not only does he live in Texas. He lives in THE RICHEST area of San Antonio. David Robinson, a famous country singer named George Strait, etc.. also live in the same subdivision. The pulpit has been very kind to him. God has shed his riches with Hagee. Last edited by pgardn : 08-01-2006 at 09:28 PM.

There's a great NYT article you might appreciate:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/30/us...406&ei=5087%0A This had me out of my chair cheering, because this personally is the kind of religion that I wish we saw more often. Now, if we could just do something about the way we're interpreting our "dominion" over the rest of the planet...Really, truly, *regardless* of your political or religious perspective, this series of articles should be on the must-read list (and I wish that someone would put it under the nose of all our politicians, since they clearly don't care). http://www.latimes.com/news/local/oc...842752.special Things like this make me grieve for us all. We have so much potential to do good, but we squander it and make other creatures pay.

I didn't forget what you said about Hagee. I saw him on the tube today, "explaining" his end times schtick. Seems like more than a few have been sucked into his nonsense. Anyway, I had to do some searching but I came up with this one. It's a bit long but it seems informative. Take some time to read it if you have the opportunity. False prophet... http://www.pfo.org/jonhagee.htm

I will tell you what he basically does. He makes a living by making some very rich folks feel less guilty about their excessive wealth. Jesus has given them wealth because he sees the good in them... and on and on. The rich having as much chance as going to heaven as a camel thru the eye of a needle stuff blah blah blah has these people petrified. The end of the world crap book is making the man millions also. He knows how to make money. I will tell you this though. He is gifted. This is another guy who has his brain directly connected to his mouth. He has an incredibly good vocabulary and is an extraordinary speaker. They guy writes almost nothing down and starts with a basic idea, expands upon it, then brings it to a tumultuous ending. It is indeed quite amazing. Some of these preachers just meander thru a sermon with no real direction sweatin and spittin, hanky out drenched, run into a corner, give me an AMEN. Hagee is an artist. As a speaker he is on the level of Clinton or Blair. About as good as I have seen and heard. He can flat out manipulate a crowd that does not listen carefully. The substance is pure hogwash.
