Even if I grant your assumption that a large proportion of tv evangelicals are corrupt (which I do not), does this (as you seem to suggest) validate the notion that evangelical Christians are more corrupt than the other groups mentioned? Or the notion that the influence of the evangelical movement is harmful to the United States and its core values? - This is an assumption that the media--and, it appears, you--would like to see adhere to evangelical Christians in general.

The fact is that there is no force more positive in American life for upholding objective moral values in America; without evangelicals, the country would surely have long ago sunk into a morass of permanent Clintonism, with Bill and Hillary our two-for-the-price-of-one Gods.

I wonder: What might the motivation be to derogate evangelical Christianity and subsume the entirety under the few who may be corrupt?

"Even if I grant your assumption that a large proportion of tv evangelicals are corrupt"

I did not say that, how the Hell would I know?
I said the title reminded me of Oral Roberts who said "send me $ 5 million or the Lord will call me home"

You don't know anything about my "assumptions,"
Go have an argument with someone who gives a shiite about you and your beliefs.
