The church of Oprah "Exposed".

http://youtube.com/watch?v=JW4LLwkgmqA&feature=bz302

Oh, man, it's just sad that the comments are being censored. And you know what else I noticed? At least 50% of the comments are made by Sock-puppet accounts. This video is so stupid, that I feel like my head is going to explode...

They're saying Obama is the Anti-Christ and that Oprah is the whore of Babylon. You know, if the Christian God is real, I'm gonna give him **** when he judges me for making such a contrived, pointless ordeal in which everybody ends up suffering for eternity...

What are your thoughts on it?

I'd say Oprah should be open for criticism for her increasing new age televangelism. I don't know what to say about this video's criticism, though, coming from the nutty fundamentalist position that it does. If only they would cancel each other out? Mildly ironic that the unquestioningly Christian book being plugged here is called "Don't Drink the Kool-Aid".

I find it sad that there are people who will drink this all right up.

Both Oprah's stuff, and the message of this video.
