Joel Osteen Wrote About a Guiding “Force.” Twitter Responded With Its Name
July 19, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

You can’t just tweet the equivalent of a green screen and expect everyone will answer your question the way you intended.

Pastor Joel Osteen learned that the hard way this morning when he mentioned a “force” that’s “behind you protecting you, guiding you, favoring you.”



Twitter knew exactly what he was talking about.

Gotta love gravity

Does the Pastor have lots of midichlorians? The followers of the Dark Side always come in pairs. Is he the master or the apprentice?

does not feel comfortable saying "God"? Interesting, I would think that would come easy to him. Maybe he has been talking about something else all along.
