I'm amazed
this is the #1 album on the Christian charts
wiki says it sold 29000 units in it's first week
just think
there are at least 29000 Christian lunatics running around out there
jazz would put the number much higher
the single:

I am willing to bet there are a hell of a lot more than a million or so. The USA is the home of the 'touch the TV and you will be healed' brigade. There are many things I like about the USA but there is one thing I could never understand and that is how they are so easily led/brainwashed. I imagine television indoctrination has a lot to do with this.

That's a bit OTT--there are any number of sincere Christians who have no truck with the lunatic fringe (and there are lunatic fringes on all sides of the equation). The Christian hard-right he's speaking of (from a distance) have found political ways to extend their message--more insidious and thus vastly more dangerous--see all the "religious exemptions" to following contraception and same-sex marriage rulings.

In this time of touch screens and doctor's giving diagnoses and prescribing meds via Skype, the future is now. Those semi-frauds were just in the forefront. :
