Goodbye to Reverend Ike (1935-2009), patron saint of modern liberal philosophy

Frederick J. Eikerenkoetter II, more popularly known as “Reverend Ike,” has met his maker. The 74-year old prosperity evangelist and huckster passed on to his greater reward on July 29.

“Don’t wait for your pie in the sky, by and by,” he often told his followers. “Say I want my pie right now – and I want it with ice cream on top!” Then he would exhort them to send love offerings directly to his church.

“It’s bwilliant,” Barney Frank said. “All we need to do is convince people that their lives will be enriched in the future if they just send all their money to Washington, DC today.”

“Genius,” agreed John Kerry. “Love offerings sounds much more benign than taxes.”

“I love it,” said the President. “Then we’ll add a sur-offering to stick it to them even harder.”

“But what about the separation of church and state,” Nancy Pelosi asked.

“Please, Nancy,” Harry Reid demanded. “Show some respect for the dead.”

  • Time will tell, that everything Rev. Ike spoke about and taught about is real and relevant...Neville Goddard and other mind scientists know something we all should come to eventually realize...we are and will always be our own " God" in the image and likeness of God, that dwells in all of us...

    Thank you God for sending and giving us Reverend Ike, the walking, talking word of God!...and So It Is !

    "HEALTH, HAPPINESS, LOVE, SUCCESS, PROSPERITY AND INFINITE MONEY!, IN AN EVER INCREASING SUPPLY FOR GOOD USE AND ENJOYMENT- THANK YOU GOD!"

    -MONEY IS GOOD FOR YOU AND ME TOO!

  • From an interview I saw years ago:

    "So Reverend, I understand you own quite a few Rolls Royces."
    "No, that's not true. The Church owns numerous Rolls Royces, but I don't."
    "So how does that work? Do you get to drive them or...?"
    "No no, I don't get to drive them. I get to ride around in them, but I don't drive them."

    You just can't buy piety like that anymore...
