Groucho you have touched on one of the things that truly fries my liver.
I have seen a few of the genuine pastors whose passion was to teach and guide their congregations in any and all ways needed to the best of their ability.
Those on TV can get away with their nonsense because nobody knows enough about them personally. Do you want to know what a man thinks of God hang out with him for a while.
I'll have to make an effort this weekend and watch one or two of the "preachers" and see what they're preaching nowadays. I'll have to watch on an empty stomach, though....I'd like to minimize the sickness.
Perhaps they need to be subjected to the same treatment as other kinds of flim flam artists. I think in some minds, the God label somehow gives them immunity. Can't speak "evil" or anything..
I'm beginning to think this way about religion, If they solicit money as an integral part of their program, they ain't about God but themselves. And if you are a minister and have to put on makeup prior to your service, you are doing it for yourself. And all ministers should get off TV and make room for "My Mother the Car" reruns.

Show me thuh money!!!!!
I watched one guy for a few minutes, and he said, the more money you send the bigger seed you plant for your prosperity and healing.
I call it politick'in religion. It goes on, too, in churches not on tv.
It has been my experience that most are in it for the money.
There was a time in this country, and many others, that the preacher ( along with the doctor) was amongst the poorest in the community.

All this garbage would qualify them as being a bunch of ... cults.
Right? ;)
