The Audacity of Creflo Dollar

Greetings readers.  I'm sure by now you've heard about controversial pastor Creflo A. Dollar's 65 million dollar jet campaign.  Now for those of you that haven't, Creflo Dollar wants his congregation(and pretty much anyone else foolish enough) to send him 65 million dollars so he can buy a brand new jet.  Yes.  A jet.  I'm dead serious.  In a recent sermon Creflo Dollar proclaimed that he had a dream.  A dream that one day he would fly in a luxurious 65 million dollar jet on his congregation's dime.  He even claimed that "The Devil" was trying to block his dream.  I'm not kidding.  Speaking as a brother who has seen and heard all manner of shit, I was dumbfounded.

We have now reached the point of no return. We have reached a point where a man has no qualms about asking you to send him 65 million dollars for a fucking JET and will actually get indignant and lose his shit if he doesn't get it promptly.  Have we really made it that easy? Have we abandoned all sense and reason? This man wants 65 million. For a jet. A jet. He's actually whining because he hasn't gotten it yet. I mean how is Creflo Dollar not the Undisputed King of Douche Bags?


To me it's not even the fact that he's asking for money.  I mean I get it.  Asking for money is what these "prosperity" ministers do.  It doesn't surprise me that yet another one is asking for money.  But he wants this money for a jet.  A damn jet.  If vanity is a deadly sin then dare I say Creflo Dollar is in deep, deep trouble.

I mean think about what could be done with this money.  Think about what he wants this money for.  Not for a school. Or a grocery store in a struggling neighborhood. Or to build affordable housing. Or for a college fund for financially impaired students. He wants 65 million for a jet. And he's now whining about "The Devil" because he hasn't gotten it. How does this man get a pass ya'll??  How does he get away with this?  Why are we not calling him out on this?

Think about something else.  Think about how hard you have to grind just to earn a living.  Think about what you have to go through to get a dollar.  People are struggling to pay mortgages and rent.  Struggling to put food on the table.   Struggling to send their kids to college.  Struggling to make ends meet.  Yet here we have a greedy pastor already living high on the hog asking for even more money.  Money that he will use to buy a lavish, expensive luxury item that most people wont be able to afford in their lifetime.  An item that's all for him and no one else. It's beyond shameful.

Creflo Dollar's request is asinine.  His monumental hubris is disgusting.  This whole jet nonsense highlights everything that is wrong and immoral about these so called "prosperity" ministers.  Dollar should be absolutely ashamed of himself....and he's not.  That should bother you.
