I paint a broad brush, don't I? What I meant was the ones who believe that a criticism on (or a disagreement) with Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, TBN, Jim Bakker, et al, is an 'assault on Christians and Christianity'. There are always people who think that, too.

I don't believe in speaking in tongues or modern-day miracles, so I'd say I'm pretty conservative myself religiously. I don't think that it's wrong for them to have a house or a $5M house for that matter. It is wrong for them to use the name of God solely as a fund-raising ploy and take the donations originally meant for "spreading the Word" and use it for their personal gain. That they do. TBN is not religion. It's the "religion business".

How many Social Security recipients paid for that $5M house? Would Jesus do that? No way!

That's the million dollar question (no pun intended). And I agree, 100%, with your answer. No way, no how.
