Good question..
He certainly didn't come across as a nice relatable person the few times I met him, it felt more like meeting an aloof celebrity.. but he was a celebrity.
I've met other big preachers who definitely had that charisma that made you feel like they cared for your soul more than they cared about their own.
But do they believe what they preach? The ones I've known better certainly do, the pastor of the church I was in that I met KC through actually died of cancer because he said taking cancer drugs/treatment was a lack of faith in God's power to heal him... He believed to his core.
But those were very much smaller time pastors.. smaller churches, maybe some travel, nothing like the mega rich ones.
I mean the mega rich ones COULD actually believe what they say, they're living proof of what they preach aren't they? But some probably are actors, though that seems exhausting, I can't imagine having that much energy.
How many set out to be scammers? How many start out with good intentions but get pulled in by success? How many live in little universes where everyone tells them they're amazing so they think they're amazing?
Good questions...
