The purpose of my web site is to provide both Christian and non Christians with information on television evangelists. I have become aware that many families have been broken up by the questionable tactics used by unethical evangelistic movements verified by letters I have received from visitors to my site.
My target group are those people who are concerned about the potential disruptions to religion, culture, society and the family brought about by the pseudo-christian, money driven activities of those who pretend to be doing " God's work". Often these people promote hatred and intolerence toward Muslims, Hindus, Buddists, etc when they engage in money making activities. To combat these activities it is especially important that those who have higher education, life experience and general levelheadedness see these activities for what they are.
My goal is to educate people about the pseudo-religious evangelist: their goals, methods and scams which are used to draw people into their ministries. Much of this information applies to North America as well as other countries. These events have international significance as well as local signifence.
My web site is designed to allow students, academics and ordinary people to access this information, as well as provide a starting point for those to pursue more in-depth research on this subject.
