Why do religious chanels on tv focus so much on requesting money from viewers?

In the interests of my thesis I have had to watch these channels and find myself utterly affronted at so called preachers requesting "gifts" between 120-150 dollars for new and improved bibles all in the guise of "receiving the benefits from the words of god". i find it sickening. it completely undermines those who genuinely want to share their beliefs just through their passion for them alone. And furthermore some of the phone numbers are premium rate.
Can I just add two things. first that I am an agnostic and did mention that I viewed the channels in the interests of my dissertation. And secondly if you actually flick through all these channels at some point either a premium rate number will pop up on your screen or someone will be requesting your money for a bible or something "blessed".

Yes, my dear, you are absolutely right. It's called the 'Prosperity Gospel' don't you know? So, put that in your dissertation.

This is another reason why I don't subscribe to Sky, even though there are some very good Bible teachers on there, in amongst. It seems you always have to wade through the muck to get to the good stuff. It's such a pity, because it doesn't give people like you (and me) a good impression, because they think that's what Christianity is.

These preachers are getting rich, rich, rich on gullible Christians who can't be bothered to think for themselves and who are happy to have a church which is a big-business institution. Like - we can buy converts?

You can tell what's in a person - and a preacher, too - very quickly, you know, and folks outside of 'church' can spot this faster than the ones inside. It's never long before the appeal for money comes. There it is 'the love of money' - it's that simple. And sick, as you say.

'Sow into my ministry' they say 'and the Lord will bless you'. Now, where in the Bible does anyone say that? Nowhere, and if people would read their Bibles more often instead of listening to these charlatans, they would have been 'sent down the road with a flea in their ear' long ago! I tell you, one day the Lord will judge them, and I personally wouldn't like to be them when that happens, for these people have done so much damage. Just think where that money could've gone - to the poor and needy and to places like Africa - but instead it's gone into private jets, flash cars and luxurious living.

Yes, it's pretty sick - big business methods come into the church. Oh well, all I can say is that you haven't seen the real Church yet. These are folk who live a lot simpler and are not building their own little empires. There are few of these simple believers about - because the love of money and power gets a lot of people - but this is the true Church of Jesus Christ. We will not preach you 'give, give', but we will preach you the Gospel. That'll make you rich, at our expense.
