The real damage comes from those who are turned-off permanently from Christianity because of guys like Copeland.
I’d never turn to a new religion because some preacher made a ton of money off it. Someone like Saint (mother) Theresa is more of a better example. Finding meaning and happiness in service. That is so hard for me.
If one of these wealthy preachers brings someone to the religion, they are just looking for money. So what is the point?
