Morford on MegaChurch Madness Part 6

Above meet the new Number Two: Dr. Creflo Dollar and his wife Taffi Dollar.

The Dollars have certainly racked up for these two who run a close second behind Osteen and his plasticine wife. But they run just as slick an operation.

Dr. Dollar is an accomplished black preacher and kinda throws a stick into Morford's spokes. Maybe Megachurches are not just about politics or race?

To be fair, Morford as much as suggests something close to this at the end of his article, but I want to go a little deeper.

But before I do let me air out my two complaints for Mark.

1. It's not primarily a race thing. The fact that the Megachurch most closely vying for the top is primarily a black church (and that minorities are well represented in Osteen's church) is enough to dispel that.

2. Morford keeps citing Jesus as if these Megachurches gave ear to anything he actually said or did, or will in the near future. Nonsense. Jesus has been utterly co-opted and commemorated, but his words and actions are perhaps the single largest antidote to whatever disease feeds the Megachurches: greed, power, pride and fear.
