Right-Wing Exposed

It’s “Evangelical Monday”, which means that it’s time for another episode of “preachers for hire”.  This week’s millionaire, I mean minister, is Creflo Dollar.  That’s right, that’s his real last name, “Dollar”.  And, it’s fitting, because if anyone knows how to make a pile of dollars off of the gospel, it’s Creflo Dollar.

“Brother Creflo” is the pastor of the World Changers Church International in Atlanta, Georgia.  They have a frugal ministry that managed to scrape up a mere $18 million cash to pay for their humble church abode with plush carpeting and luxury seating.  Now that I think about it, a pastor named “dollar” with a church named “changers”, is an appropriate combination of names.  Brother Creflo takes people’s dollars and changes them into personal assets for himself.

Pastor Dollar, of course, has to try to keep up with “Brother Benny”, Hinn that is, which requires him to have the same kinds of gospel essentials.  You know, the basics, like a $5 million private jet and a Rolls Royce.  And, every respectable preacher needs at least two homes.  So, Creflo purchased himself a couple of million-dollar homes. 

Pastor Dollar is one of those preachers who justifies his lavish lifestyle by claiming that Jesus was also wealthy.  Yes, as you can see, Creflo doesn’t let biblical facts get in the way of his teaching.  There is something else interesting and unique about him.  Creflo doesn’t let people touch him once his church services have started.  Why?  He says it’s because he doesn’t want anyone stopping the “anointing” that is flowing from him so abundantly.  There’s certainly “something” abundantly flowing from him alright, but I’m pretty sure it’s not an anointing.  What’s flowing from Creflo Dollar stinks of greed, selfishness and financial abuse.  And, unfortunately, there are plenty more of “his kind” to talk about in future episodes of Evangelical Monday.
