First of all, what is the attraction to Joel Osteen? In my opinion, he's not all that good of a speaker, his stories seem fake, and I can't stand to look at him for more than five minutes.

Second, is it just me or are we being tricked and he is really the world's first robot? Watch him for a minute and tell me he doesn't demonstrate those tendencies?

To be honest, I had to look him up. I don't think I've heard him speak, or anything, but the name sounded vaguely familiar. When I went to his website I was a little turned off. It appeared the Joel Osteen's Ministries, is well, abll about Joel Osteen.

Is there a difference between "marketing" Christianity and sharing the good news that Jesus came to save us from eterneal death?

"Marketing Christianity" is about getting people into the seats by telling them what they want to hear. Sharing the Good News or Gospel is exactly what you saying, sharing that Jesus came and died to save us from our eternal deaths.

I think you are all too right on Osteen, I just don't see the appeal to him or his church.
