True, but not just televangelists. Walk into a Christian bookstore and you'll find out a lot of companies sell out the Christian image. Cheesy T-shirts, cheesy movies, cheesy music. All cheesy products, companies sell to make mucho profits, not to actually spread the word. On Tv many televangelists like Joel Osteen promoting themselves instead of Christ with their feel good message of no consequences and the whole Prosperity Gospel, the idea that wealth is a good measure of God's favor. Companies scramble to sell their next Bible Translation by tearing at the last. And then sell them at ludicrous prices...

And then there are apologists that forgo their faith so they sound smarter. "God didn't really create life, we evolved" as some would say almost excluding his presence and calling God a liar without really looking at the evidence and making an opinion.
"You reduce your god (pruned to profit your ego) to a tv commercial, "Buy what I sell! (advertise, advertise!)" you scream, "Purchase my lifestyle!""
this personally reminds me of christian televangelists.
that's what i thought as well.

This song makes a lot more sense to me now that you've said that (and thanks to some of the posts below as well).
