He just creeps me out. And has a very shallow preaching line.

To me, that's the bigger story here. Not his house.

Me, too. I don’t know what it is but I have to change the channel if he is on.

Why be profound when your constant cheshire grin earns you a $10.5 million mansion?

Besides, his shallow preaching line appeals to his large audience.

Osteen appeals to people's hope for a better life, the future. The problem is he sounds like he's giving a seminar speech on how to win friends and influence people.

As to his $10 million dollar mansion: Yes, he paid for it with what he earned from his books, but how would they have sold if he didn't have a a huge televised weekly program to advertise from? What does he give back to his church? They claim to have programs to help the poor and needy, but really all they do is help you find some government source to feed off of.

IIRC, Osteen didn’t read the Bible until just four or five years ago. He doesn’t preach the Gospel; he preaches feel-good self-affirmation nonsense, cloaked in a thin skin of Christianity.

He started out to do good and he did real well. :-)
