As a white 30's male, I must say that this is already occuring. What is broadcast and cable television, and Hollywood for that matter, doing except just that? Presenting, essentially, caricaturized versions of whatever demographic it is chasing? The characters of the show Friends were presented as being my age (though they are all older than me), and all were presented as sexually active, pro-porn, pro-gay, etc, without a single dissenting vote. However, what good would it have done me to speak out? Really, all I could do was not watch it, and lead my life in a fashion utterly inconsistent with that representation. If someone wished to view me from the light of what was presented on television, the fault would then lie with them, not me.
Now that may seem irrelevant to the concept of a proposed leader doing the same thing, but frankly, a lot more people watched Friends than the 700 Club.
Now you seem to be mixing a great number of different types of "groups" into one paragraph. This appears to be an attempt to imply that there must be something wrong with Christianity if any of these types of people can rise to power in it. To answer that charge, I would have to answer for each individual that you have listed, as they are by no means the same (other than all of them being very rich)! That is, if Christianity were the problem. It is not. The problem is with people! People want to be lead, and they want a strong earthly presence to do it. With Robertson, they seem to have an authority figure with real political clout. With Hinn, they have the promise of a showy, obvious, spirit-filled line to God. Parsley is just loud (that appeals to some people).
Frankly, most of this is adiaphora (matters indifferent) to salvation, though much of it is scripturally incorrect. As such, I don't waste a great deal of breath on it. If the people following these men truly are reading their bible, and are filled with the Spirit, they will find their way out and to a more solid church (as God wills it). And for myself, those that I lead to Christ, and those that listen to me afterward, are given enough Scriptural education that are not vulnerable to men like that.
The problem, then, lies with people like you looking on, and being biased enough to choose to view the entirety of Christ's work based on a few outlandish and publicly (as in media) obvious claimants of His grace. Right now you are dealing with us! What we say, what we evidence. Did you come here to dispute with Robertson? He is not here to answer.
