Great piece. It wouldn’t surprise me bit - after all Joel does believe in god.

I don't get it...

They are confused about all of the contradicting diversity, and they need answers to help them sort through the chaos. That’s why we called on Joel Olsteen for help.”

LOL that is good satire.

It’s a good thing that heaven “attendance” isn’t based on the opinion of humans, rather the Word of God.

Osteen does not take a stand for anything. In his secular interviews, he waffles more than a breakfast special at IHOP. He’s out to win popularity contests, not souls for Glory.

Great satire always has the ring of truth to it. This is funny; and very much true.

So, who wins in a fight, Joel or Anakin??

That'd be a tough one... you know Joel can bench press 300 lbs. And he has nicer teeth.

The comments here have been funny, but I don’t get the main article. I’m not trying to be a wet blanket; I’m just curious if I’ve missed something. Is leading people into the Catholic church just some anti-Catholic writer’s satirical on leading them into apostasy? And why a bunch of Catholic Star Wars characters? Did Olsteen make some comment about Catholicism, Jesuits and Lucas, or Campbell?

I noticed that you typed the name of the Lord in small letters.

Appropriate for Olsteen. LOL!

“I think that Joel is a great human being”, by whose standards are ‘you’ basing this might I ask, God/Jesus’ or man’s???
“The guy has a front row seat in Heaven in my opinion”, thank the Lord you stated in ‘your opinion’, because I’d bet in God/Jesus’ economy this is most definitely NOT true.
Sorry to say Joel IS NOT a true minister of the true Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven, he’s a motivational speaker who waters down the gospel, and wants to soothe your ‘itching ears’ while he’s doing it.
We’re ‘called’ to preach the “whole consul of God”, not just what makes people feel good and comfortable. Joel and those like him need much prayer, and to get right with God/Jesus before it’s too late.
