I mean, you can't expect these holy men to get into a tube full of demons, can you?

It would be funnier if it wasn't so sad. But the guy describing his casual conversations with God is pretty rich. I'm glad God has his priorities straight though!
 
I felt deeply for them and bought into the logic entirely. Especially the part where God is annoyed by not being allowed to give the guy another plane. I mean how can the preacher say no?

I plan to throw all my money up in the air and let God takes what He needs for this plane. The part that falls back down is mine.
 
"A long tube with a bunch of demons" - Yep, that pretty much fits my experience flying Spirit Airlines. He got that bit spot on.
 
The only thing sadder than listening to these two idiots is knowing that there are people stupid enough to fund them.

"Because we don't want to associate with the proles stupid enough to give us money".
 
It's funny how Kenneth Copeland and Michelle Bachmann have the same creepy dead eyes.
 
Bugger. I wanted to hear how Amos ch 6 vs 1 justified personal jet travel......
 
It is probably a decent business decision.

Assuming each location he can go to gives $X amount of donations, and that the cost of a private jet increases the new total $X beyond the cost of the jet, then it just becomes another justifiable expense to expand the business.

And with this particular business, no taxes. So double-plus good. Under these circumstances, if I were them, I'd get the jet too.

Assuming all my morals had long since withered away.

Amos is kind of warning the well-off, trusted leaders in the nearly impregnable city of Samaria that they shouldn't be so sure of Jehovah's good graces and be complacent as some bad stuff might be coming their way. (IMO, based solely on a quick Google search.)
Having a private jet seems well-off to me. The huksters probably went on to say how they would increase their faith even more, to praise His name, to honour his glory...blah, blah, blah....so that Sky Daddy won't break out the naughty stick on them.

I was disappointed. I expected the youtube video to show the preachers singing "Nearer My God To Thee!" since a plane would get them high enough, if one believes the poem High Flight, to reach out and touch the face of God.

Well they don't sing that old hymn, but they do suggest that the plane gives them more time to talk to God! A lot of their conversations with God happen on the plane it seems. :D

On a commercial flight they would have to put up with people asking to pray with them and "demons" (the unwashed masses).

Here's another one, who rejoices in the name Creflo Dollar. In ancient times people were often named after the gods they worshipped, like Rameses or Amenhotep. I suppose this televangelist's surname is another example of that practice.

Same as it ever was.
After God gives Joshua the power to destroy the city of Jerico, he announces that this city is cursed. And that this curse is so powerful that if you take objects from the city you will be cursed as well. Then God explains that gold and silver are not cursable objects so all the gold and silver vessels need to be rounded up so that these objects "can go into the treasury of the Lord" I can easily imagine the priests explaining the process - "just bring the gold to us because that's what God wants. We just talked to Him and those were his very words."

The bright side.
Well, if Jesus wants to strike him down there will be way less collateral damage if a private jet falls from the sky.

Excellent point. If I were them, and truly believed in a god, I would closely surround myself at all times with the most generous, kindly, thoughtful. caring hostages people I could find. "Ya want to get me? Well you are going to go through them first, sucker! Ha, ha, ha..."
