God's Profits: Faith, Fraud, and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters ReviewI first became acquainted with Sarah Posner's writing in the American Prospect, October, 2005 article, With God on His Side. Living in Ohio, among Parsley and his "Christocrats," witnessing the very real influence that Parsley, Russell Johnson and their "Patriot Pastors had on the '04 election, I found her writing perceptive, accessible and entirely on target. The biggest challenge posed by this cultic movement is getting people to believe in the long-term threat it continues to pose. Since that first article, I have devoured every word she has written, only to finally be rewarded with God's Profits.
In this well-researched book, she clearly and compellingly explains the what's, who's, and why's of how religious huckster-ism has successfully manipulated a frightened, lonely, and despairing populace.
Ms. Posner has done it again, only this time, the prize is bigger: it's a book. There is no writer out there who knows more about the subject, none who has gone more often into the belly of the beast, as she clearly has. As the bar regarding church-state separation continues to be lowered, it is time to take note of this serious journalist's insight and the skill with which she presents it.
Would that I could, I'd give this book ten stars.God's Profits: Faith, Fraud, and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters OverviewKeenly observed and meticulously reported, "God's Profits" examines the unholy alliance between a new breed of corrupt televangelists and the Republican Party, which is eagerly courting "values voters" in the nation's largest megachurches.
Author Sarah Posner exposes the activities of Kenneth Copeland, John Hagee, Rod Parsley, T.D. Jakes, and other politically connected, skillfully marketed, and increasingly influential religious leaders. Preaching the "prosperity gospel"???the notion that faith and tithing alone can ensure financial security???both in their churches and over the airwaves, these charismatic leaders scam the gullible even as they enjoy unprecedented access to top Bush Administration officials. Admired by Republican strategists for their antigovernment ideology and authoritarian leadership styles, these televangelists work together to maximize profits; protect themselves legally; influence elections, judicial nominations, and promote their pro-war, apocalyptic ideas.
