A false religion. She has created an industry worth billions of dollars by propagating a New Age Humanism that has dethroned God and put the Self in His place, a religion epitomizing Lucifer\u2019s rebellion against the Most High God: \u201cI will exalt MY throne above the throne of God.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her\u2019s is the secular prosperity gospel, with a broader reach and more insidious appeal than that of her next closest competitor, Joel Osteen.<\/p>\n<p>In accepting the Cecil B. DeMille A<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">ward at last night\u2019s Golden Globes, Oprah cited decades old racist acts &#8211; despicable acts that took place 74 years ago &#8211; as if those kinds of attitudes and actions are still mainstream in contemporary American life. They are not.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"text_exposed_show\">\n<p>She propagated the idea that the male gender cannot be trusted.

Or a bra.<\/p>\n<p>In her raucous rallying cry, Oprah preached that there is no such thing as THE truth &#8211; only YOUR truth. That is a lie. Oprah wants you to exchange the truth of God for a lie.
