why are TV evangelists so wealthy?

Huge bank accounts, houses, cars, planes helicopters - all gained at the expense of the gullible who obviously know nothing of the analogy of the rich man and camel through the eye of the needle!

Anyone who considers the evangelists as Christians is always going to lose their money!

Because the 'faithful' insist on sending them money...

Stop sending them money and see how long they will be preaching...

IMHO

The same reason other talk show hosts are wealthy.

No one with two iq points to rub together would give those crooks a penny, yet they wield ridiculous power in the US. One of my biggest problems with Christianity is not the televangelists whom an idiot could see past, but the fact that those who claim to be serious christian ignore televangelists ( wolf's in seeps clothing) while they eat the flock. Any one who could look at themselves in the mirror and call themselves a christian would be denouncing people like Pat Robertson on every street corner.

Because the people who watch them are EXTREMELY gullible.

Because they scam people out of their money in the name of religion

Gullible biblical illiterate people. Many times desperate seeking God and run across some crook on TV like Mike Murdoch who will tell you everything that you want to hear.

Because they knew the right market and crowd to choose

And this is coming from a Christian

Because idiots give them money for the bullshit they sell.
