There are many religious leaders, pastors, evangelists, televangelists, and even theologians who teach what they say is spiritual truth. Some claim to speak the very words of Almighty God in what they refer to as divine prophetic utterance, These are the self proclaimed "prophets" who need to be in psychiatric therapy instead of behind a pulpiit with hundreds of thousands if not millions of followers who take everything they say as absolute truth. This is Part 1 of a series on this topic. I'll explain and prove how spirituality was hijacked and turned into a fear and guilt based religious system that is very lucrative to say the least. I'm not against Christianity or personal faith. I'm against the exploitation of millions who have their trust and faith used against them. Very few ever speak about this because it's an extremely sensitive topic. Please bear with me. I'm not attempting to destroy the faith of anyone. I only want to present the evidence and allow you to make up your own mind. I encourage you to take part in the live chat with your comments, questions, and personal experiences.

We would love to have everyone join us.
