Capitalizing Church

I barely have TV. About a year ago I bought my first flat screen, and never bothered to subscribe to cable or satellite. With my small antenna I can get from three to six channels. Even so, I flip around a lot. That's what men do, right? If my eyes weren't deceiving me, I suddenly saw Joel Osteen and Kanye West standing together on a huge stage, under bright lights, wearing I barely know who these people are, but I vaguely know that they are both huge celebrities in greatly divergent areas of endeavor. If I'm not dreaming, Joel has a huge megachurch with thousands of members, a tremendous quantity of devotion to Christ, a beautiful wife, and, apparently, a lot of money, judging by the Lamborghini I vaguely remember seeing him slip into on TV. Kanye is a big time rap singer, actor, director, or all of the above, correct? and, again, unless I'm dreaming the content of his artistic creations as well as his personal behavior have not always been anything even remotely remindful of Christian values, am I wrong? Is this a marriage of convenience corporate values? Big time big money religion, and big time big money mainstream entertainment culture, mating for..what? more power and money? The Korporate Kristian Komplex, and the corporate entertainment industry, merging, to accumulate more people and more money for Christ? Kanye, cleaning up his image by finding the lord, and Joel, ever expansive, expanding his empire for Christ? Global and particularly American economic developments make you wonder whither eventually one person will end up with all the money in the world. What about religious authority? will huge corporate church complexes emerge around the world, and ultimately compete for global supremacy?
