Well, many of you who know me know that I do this with a bit of "tongue in cheek" but also with a bit of seriousness. Today's USA Today (as Rome says, "the multi-colored fishwrap) ran a front page article on Rev. Oprah in the Life section (see http://www.usatoday.com/life/people/2006-05-10-oprah_x.htm). Draw your own conclusions but this proves once and for all why Oprah is the Anti-Christ in my book. Dr. Phil is the false prophet...you know that! I've been warning my family and friends...watch out for this woman. She is more influential than all the TV evangelists and mega-church pastors combined. She has more $$ the gross national product of Canada...oops, that might not be saying much...mmmm, let me try that again. She has more $$ than God...oops, can't say that because of that "cattle on a thousand hills" thing...mmmm, let me try that one more time! She has more $$ than the combined budgets of all the megachurches in the USA. How does that sound? Oh I don't know...I'm just going to sign out and let the chips fall where they may! All I can say is "beware"! And people think the Da Vinci Code is a threat to the faith..."I don't think so!".

COMMENT-BODY:This article is most definately an interesting comment on our culture and what people are looking for. Its says a great deal about what people really value. However, I wonder if even despite her "message of salvation" Oprah is missing the part about where all of this power and blessing comes from. Is it yourself or God? I wonder also if she is also so attractive because in a way she is saying "you don't need anyone else" and that is also attractive because it offers the salvation that we desire, but it also caters to our fleshly desires in offering some sense of control. You can have salvation and you can also do it on your own. That sort of message would definately appeal to an indiviudalistic America.
