Fraccy.. just in case you haven't tweaked to it yet.. Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, Benny Hinn, Peter Popov, and a host of other 'prosperity gospel' peddlers are as disgusting to Runner and myself and any other serious Christian as they are to you.

Here's a wiki list... to save you scrounging around

But when you tire of all that muckraking.. you could always meet the One who's message they have so distorted.. it might be a refreshing change.

Boaz: << As for Starbucks and their ilk... they make me wanna puke >>

Does that go for Gloria Jean's too, Boazy?

Could be an urban myth, pelican.

>>Wasn't it a Maccas hamburger that someone left on a shelf for months without any signs of decay. Shudder that I ever ate one of those things<<

It hasn't appeared in Snopes yet, but the video would appear to be a reasonable standard of proof.

Oh, here's Boaz, peddling his wares again.

Boaz, it would be so-o-o-o-o-o nice, if you would, just once in a while, recognize that yours is not the only religion that has brethren who have gone "off-message". Know what I mean?

Mind you, what that all has to do with Starbucks, I haven't a clue. Presumably God tolerates all kinds of coffee, since it was all his idea anyway.

Or does He only drink the finest espresso, complete with angelic crema, while Starbucks is simply a living example of the devil's work?

It occurred to me after my last comment that Boazy is something of a Macca's fan - so why does Starbucks make him "wanna puke"?
