Cotton Candy Christianity

Thomas Golianopoulos profiles Joel Osteen, leader of the biggest congregation in America:

“The reason [Osteen is] so popular is because of the spiritual infantilism of America. Not just spiritual, the infantilism of American culture,” [Ole] Anthony [president of the Trinty Foundation] says. “And he feeds the Paris Hilton, Britney Spears culture. It’s all me. Benefit me. What can I do for me? How can I feel better? What can I do about me? How you can get the best of your life? It’s all me-centered.”
