[net.religion] TV preachers taking over?

stevens@teklabs.UUCP (07/19/83)

Just think of all the markets TV preachers could open up.  Like they could
start selling wine and wafers for home use.  They could probably sell a
couple of pews too.  Does anyone really believe that TV could take the
place of attending services?  Commercialization of religion is a parody.
At least I feel comforted in knowing that I have never seen a Rabbi
"preaching" on TV.

	"Like they could start selling wine and wafers for home use."

The wine and wafers you mentioned sound like the articles used in the 
Roman Catholic mass before the transsubstantiation process.  I don't
think these would be very hot selling items because I don't see too 
many Catholic evangelists on TV.  Not all gentiles are the same, Steve.
