THE “JESUS LOVE$ YOU” CHRISTIAN SCHOOL OF AIR-CONDITIONED DOG HOUSE DOO DOO

“KID, GET YOURSELF AN EDUCATION!” You’ve heard it over and over again. Go to college and get a good job with good pay. This was never truer for the young tele-evangelists Jim and Tammy Bakker at Bible college. Who would have guessed from such humble Theological roots they would build a multi-million dollar “FREE-FOR-ALL!” empire that combined Tammy Bakker’s extensive “hooker-for-God” wardrobe with Jim Bakker’s fleet of Jessica Hahn born-again Christian groupies in a fraudulent Christian theme park that featured an air-conditioned dog house. “Jesus Loves You” is a phrase quite often heard from the religious sector, but what does it really mean? Tele-evangelists are not so much interested in giving Jesus’ love, but taking yours, or at least your money. Many religious institutions are one big “FREE-FOR-ALL!” “Jesus Loves You” School of Air-conditioned Dog House Doo Doo. Love yourself and consequently you will love the people around you. If you are part of the religious sector, on behalf of Jesus, we will be happy to take your money in our donation box. However, if you choose not to give it’s “O.K.”, because the love, like this event, is “free for all.”
