The Religion of Oprah

Oprah Winfrey was troubled "in her spirit" when in her late twenties she heard a preacher quote the Scripture that God was a "jealous God." She decided then that she had to "open her mind", take God "out of the box", seek "something more than doctrine" and let the "absolute, indescribable hugeness of what we call God" overcome her Baptist intolerance. Since then, her consciousness has expanded, her spirit has been freed, and her insistence that there are millions of ways to reach "whatever you call is God" is being spread throughout the world.

A bit bothered by this?

Take a look at this video clip to find out more (in Oprah's own words) about her eerie New Age religion.

And then give a few minutes to Frank Pastore's Town Hall column, "Questions that Bother Oprah and Today's New Age Thinkers." You'll find it informative and helpful as well.
