Of course, there will always be sinners. But the curse of the Reformation is as what spawned tens of thousands of “Christian sects” where each one with a Bible on one hand and a gift of the gab with a touch of charisma were allowed to attract “low-intellect” pastors and hordes of Kool-Aid followers like David Koresh, Jim Jones, and now the latter day Joel Osteens, the Rev. Wrights and Bishop Jakes of this world, all in the name of building family-run enterprises.
