Isn't it just amazing how God keeps telling grifters to keep scamming people? Nor how many people you rob and cheat and steal from God is like just keep on grifting. Always be grifting that's that's the Christian God's number one message.

God never tells these rich fuckers to donate their money, fascinating

Sounds like Phil took the hypocritic oath, ha ha ha. But really, absolutely scum.

I am not entirely anti-Dr. Phil, like I've heard some of his advice & it seems sound enough. Practical enough. But especially as his show carried on for years, and ever increasingly the clearly wacko nutjob guests were brought on for shock value (/exploitation)...I was like....are these people really being helped here? Or are we dragging them out of their hole, shining a spotlight on them, for public humiliation & punching down on the dumb & mentally ill? I mean I was a teenager, watching sometimes & thinking...these problems need to be dealt with privately. Behind closed doors. You're robbing human beings of any chance at dignity, respect. That's wrong. I recognized this as a teenager! He's way too old & should know better. Then again, there's no shortage of prominent religious people who can quote the Bible but missed the parts that basically read "Don't be a dick".

I loved this direct confrontation between bumfights creator & Dr. Phil. He got kicked off the show!! Dr. Phil knew he was going to get in trouble & shut him up ASAP.
