Questions:

1. What do you people have against Joel Osteen? Why the hostility to him? I know very little about him.

2. Why is there animosity to his church apparently participating in the paycheck protection program? If his church has employees who were kept on the payroll and avoided unemployment, due to legally participating in this program, why is there hostility to a legal business getting legal benefits of some sort?

The thought of ‘religion’ as a business is not very appealing to me personally.

I’d be curious if the Swaggarts and the rest of their kind would apply as well for assistance. Talk about a corporate operation.

Just selling an Airstream or two would seem to be the first move to make but begging the gubamint for taxpayer dollars, that might go down a bit hard with some folks.

I wonder if Biden Inc. would be so bold. They likely employ hundreds in their ‘businesses’ too.

I think his church has enough monies to continue to pay his employees. His daddy was a hell fire and brimstone preacher who preached the way to heaven or hell.....your choice. Joel preaches monetary success which is fine and dandy but what does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his own soul? I don’t trust these “financial” televangelists......but that’s just me.

Beat me to it. I may disagree with his church philosophy and other things about him but this is a legal program designed by the Feds to keep people employed. If he has complied with the rules the loan is up to 100% forgivable. If he has not complied with all of the rules he will have to pay it back with interest.
