Something to keep in mind, most Christian TV networks are not-for-profit. As a ministry, the pay probably isn't something that will get you the new Porche.
As for the no alcohol bit, as a Christian I have a problem with that. If Jesus wanted you to completely abstain from alcohol, then why did He turn water into WINE? Just saying....
1. The minister can drive an expensive car. The flock cannot.
2. Because most evangelicals are more interested in the culture and power they've developed, instead of doing things that Christ commanded. Although Christ liked alcohol, and created wine from water, the fanclub has decided that it is taboo, because Jesus wouldn't want it this way.
Because remember, God and Jesus are just sock puppets that we can stuff words into for any personal advancement.
Some other 'funny' facts about 'Christ vs. most people that follow him':
1. Was born to a single mother. Joseph ran off.
2. Hated governments.
3. Died by state based execution.
4. Offered only love... and only criticized the power hungry.
5. Never prayed for worldly things.
As you can see, I'm not impressed with Christianity as most people see it.
We worship a deity that is all knowing, all powerful, and all seeing... yet we keep getting in circles and begging him for stuff.
It's the definition of blasphemy to speak the mind of God... because you don't know.
