More of it than I should have.

It's probably the least profound religious text on the planet.  I can see why the Catholic Church chose to keep it hidden for so long.  Their supplements to it are far more interesting.  Psalms and Proverbs* almost get clever at points and the story of Job is interesting, but the New Testament is a huge bore and the Jesus stuff is pretty light on the details.

*It's also interesting that the Book of Proverbs is even in the Bible, as it implicitly stated throughout it as not the word of God,or inspired by God, but the sayings of wise Jews of the day.

I'm very pro Osteen.  We need more evangelical ministers who "sugar coat things" instead of focusing on the heretical non-Gospel teachings of Revelation.

Hopefully his ministry will turn the young evangelicals watching TV on Sunday into people of stronger character than their Falwell and Robertson polluted parents.

Rome wasn't built in a day, afleitch.  If Osteen is what the Christian right looks like from now on, we'll be better off.
