Christians - Are you aware of why they call it the 700 Club?

You know, Pat Robertson's tv show.

I'm not going to give you the answer yet, but know that even as a christian, I find it disturbing.

Update:

Yes, it does.

But God probably wont give me the racetracks I want to watch. :-P

Update 2:

Lucinda is correct.

It's pretty bad when the title of a christian tv program has to relate to money. If I want to experience monetary pressure, I can watch a CNBC show.

    No, I don't know why but from what you said it is not good. I am a Christian, too, and I don't trust any of those TV evangelists. The only one I trusted to be truly walking with the Lord and not peddling his word was Billy Graham.

    Well we can't do anything without money LOL

    I think that was very clever of them ; )

    Oh and i haven't sent them any money - and i never feel pressured to give - but if i ever feel like blessing them financially, i will...

    Peace and joy

    I have no idea why they call it that. I do know that Pat Robertson is a lying scum bag though.
