That's a wrap on everyone from Frank Zappa's "Jesus Thinks You're a Jerk."

    Fuck him for sure, but at the same time I do think there's something kind of karmic about people getting scammed in this way. I don't really feel bad for the people who have lost their money to him either.

    Nah fuck that. Most of the people that get got by these people are indoctrinated as children surrounded by reactionaries and become desperate as they age. The level of harm they cause is not zero but it is nothing close to the damage wrought by mega churches and televangelists without whome they might never have become so reactionary in the first place.

    This is like the libs that laugh at people in red states and say they deserve being left behind during natural disasters because the state gutted their emergency response capability or enacted policies contributing to climate collapse. This is just reactionary victim blaming even if many of the victims are also terrible people in their own way.

    Nah, fuck that. mfed1122 said "I don't feel sorry for them", not "it's good that they got scammed". By the time you're an adult, the bulk of the responsibility for being a hateful bigot lies with you. They know it's wrong to be homophobic, racist, sexist, transphobic, etc (as the vast majority of them indeed are). But they're too in love with the idea that they're better than the people they look down on to admit it, and are also completely comfortable with the idea that they can be "forgiven" by Jesus without ever making things right with the people they hurt, or even asking forgiveness. Yes, these megachurches play a part in spreading the hateful rhetoric, but let's not give the grown adults who follow their lead a pass on their awful behaviour.
