"Evangelicals and prostitutes"

Brought to mind that guy's fund raising appeal:
"Send me $5 million or the Lord is calling me home"

Hello, new to this forum. I gotta agree man most evangelical preachers are prostitutes for money.

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?

This post brought to mind:

"Romans 14:4
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand."

Whatever you choose to believe or to say is, in the long term, significant only to yourself because you are the only one who will give an account for it ultimately. Judas found this out experiencially.
