Paul Washer, whoever he is, comes off like a hater. He really dedicated a day or two of his life to bashing Olsteen? But, then again, I guess that is his doctrine, excluding people: Muslims and Buddhists are two he mentioned himself.
As for Olsteen, I have actually seen him on TV. The guy seems very friendly, sincere, earnest about his beliefs. And I have to commend him for refusing to, for example, bash Mormons, when he was asked if he believed they were Christians (a question he was asked in relation to Mitt Romney and his presidential run).
However, like the rest of the Christian preachers I have heard, there is profundity lacking in his message. In his story, as posted by sly1984, he spends time confusing the critic with cynic: 1. A cynic is someone who believes that people always act selfishly. 2. A critic is a person who writes, and expresses opinions, about things such as books, films, music, or art.
Clearly, there is nothing wrong with being a critic: it merely denotes one giving one's opinion. It actually seems like a good thing, to me. Being a cynic, however, is a serious problem, because, according to the definition of a cynic, as a cynic, you "always believe people act selfishly."
Summary: Washer is an angry, divisive jerk, who believes in a spiritual hierarchy of human beings, along with, I am sure, death panels, Obama having been born in Kenya, ACORN, NWO, etc. Olsteen is a shallow televangelist, with a sixth grade message.
Solution: Lord Buddha's Wisdom, from the Dhammapada text...
