Unless Reuters is photoshopping this, yea, it's real.

Check out the picture of the people praying. The woman in the black dress is having none of it.

Where do they have evangelists who require you to pay to get into a stadium? I haven't heard of that one. 

I agree with your evaluation of "prosperity gospel" preachers. And Billy Graham was never one of them.

Oh? I thought you did. How do they pay off the costs of hiring the venue otherwise?

Don’t people have to tithe to be a regular member of these super churches?

This NRA woman on the CNN town hall, Dana Lash (sp) is just so evil you sure understand how the NRA sleazes it's way around state and federal legislatures across the USA.

It's all the fault of the mentally ill. Not the weapons.

She really is the worst. Her videos reek of fascist propaganda.

Now, there, we’re at 400, go make your thread Birdie.

Also, our women whooped yours last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The same way religious organizations pay for the venue for any religious worship service -- they count on the voluntary donations they get covering it, but they don't sell tickets or require payment at the entrance any more than is done for any other worship service.

If something is billed as a "concert" by Christian music groups, you'd get tickets sold. But I can imagine an evangelist requiring payment at the door for an event described as a worship service or "crusade."
