Pat Robertson .. sellling books at high prices ... and pushing republican books and causes (... hopefully not a tax-exempt charity!?)

Religion in America: God . . . or Just ''Business as Usual''? - Independent Media TV: "Religion in America: God . . . or Just ''Business as Usual''? | December 16, 2004 | By: David Palmer
...
This initial review on the subject focuses on the practices of televangelist and “political wanna-be” Pat Robertson.
...
Researching Robertson, I discovered that he graduated from Yale law school in 1955 (I should’ve known). Apparently, after receiving his law degree, Pat decided he’d join the second most ethical profession in America, which is of course “religion.” One look at his current Web site renders it indisputable that Rev. Pat Robertson and the Christian Broadcast Network (CBN) derive their “means of livelihood” from the selling and/or promotion of religion.

The CBN Online Book Store

On his CBN Web site, Robertson offers (“hawks,” actually) hundreds of books, DVD’s, videos and audiotapes that ostensibly would, or should, have some relationship to preaching the word of God. Robertson’s bookstore is called “Parable” and touts, “Your Christian bookstore for Bibles, books, music & more!”

Because he professes to be a man of God, and because the Bible is his main weapon of choice, if you will, then wouldn’t you think he’d sell copies to his flock and/or viewers at or near cost? That’d be the Christian thing to do, wouldn’t it? Unfortunately, when I compared Robertson’s advertised sale prices against those offered by Amazon.com, I discovered just the opposite. Further, Robertson has the “chutzpah” to list the alleged “savings” his buyers realize as he is concurrently “fleecing” them.
