What an utter waste of time. Not worth the time unless it is by saying stuff He wants them to hear.

Of course it would be a waste of time. I would never do such a thing. But I could. It's so easy to dupe most people into believing whatever darn fool thing you want them to believe. Any good speaker could start a church and fill it with an avid congregation. How do you suppose Falwell does it?

Or Deepak Chopra, or Tony Robbins, or that bald guy with the moustache who has the answer to everything, or that herbal medicine doctor (Weir?) ??? ... or whoever else they throw up there on PBS during their fundraising drives (if I was running those specials I'd call it the "church of the secular enlightened").
