I think he is a person...I am not sure what to say. I think he is a person who was able to tap into the emotion of people and utilize it for his needs. He was an influential person in religion and politics and in those fields, people can become polarized. I think he helped to polarize people and capitalize on those emotions he evoked in them. This demonstrates his ability to either inspire or insite passions that make you love him or hate him. Please realize this fact when you reply to this post and use reasoned thought and not emotional rhetoric to express yourself.Mr. Geiwitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00589312069333222787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34074252.post-22442302074073425112007-05-18T09:17:00.000-07:002007-05-18T09:17:00.000-07:00I don't need to read more.

He was well aware of what he was saying and what he was doing. He knew he was being outrageous. He knew he was being controversial. He knew he was being outlandish. And he got press for doing it. Lots and lots of press. And lots and lots of new members in his church. And lots and lots of polical power. <BR/><BR/>He gained so much political power that he gave the benediction for Ronald Reagan. He knew how to use it. Many political historians believe he is the reason that evangelicals began to vote and become involved in the political process. He affected change. <BR/><BR/>I'm not really sure he believed half of the things he said. I'm not sure he realized that even devote Christains had their limits. He said things they couldn't accept and couldn't justify and they began to distance themselves from him. It didn't much help that there were so many scandals for other televangelists of the time either. <BR/><BR/>While I didn't agree with much that he said, goodness I don't know if I agree with anything that he said, he did make people think and discuss and talk about issues that weren't talked about before. He didn't do that quite in the right way, but still he made the conversation begin.Mr. Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884913427067297411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34074252.post-31890348938539039792007-05-18T08:24:00.000-07:002007-05-18T08:24:00.000-07:00Thank all that is peaceful and loving in the world...Thank all that is peaceful and loving in the world he's dead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
