So, while I was just randomly flipping through Yahoo News stories, I came across this one. Apparently, Joel Osteen, a televangelist and leader of the 45,000 member Lakewood Church in Houston, was victim of an Internet hoax that falsely quoted him as saying he was leaving the Christian faith. It seems that a fake website that was pretending to be Osteen's official site made a fake announcement that Osteen was rejecting Christ after having concluded that "the Bible is a fallible, flawed, highly inconsistent history book that has been altered hundreds of times. There is zero evidence that the Bible is the holy word of God. In fact, there is zero evidence that 'God' even exists." Evidently though, Osteem was not angry and "true to form, is turning the other cheek and spinning this bit of adversity as part of his core message."
