On the subject of "moolah", haven't you ever read, 3 John 1:2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers."
I you don't like it, take it up with God, it's His Word. He certainly won't force you to take what his Word grants you.

Osteen's shtick might fly in the air-conditioned comfort of the Compaq Center but it won't fly in the real world.
