Do you watch a lot of tv?

I do not watch any tv. My wife does; a lot. One night she fell asleep in front of the tv. The network switched to various shows at random. Probably because my wife had her hand on the remote.

One show comes on; religious show. Couple sitting on a couch. Talking about God, but every sentence ended with them asking people to 'send money' to their tv church.

Asking for money all the time apparently works. But why do people send money? You cannot buy your way into heaven/
