The only thing funny here is the guy started a church on a drive theatre, paved the way for mega churches and is clearly making a huge amount of money and yet people don't think he is full of shit or a scam artist?? Now that is laughable.

Only other laughable thing I can see is how frustrated OP is getting that they had to explain what they thought the joke was 🤣 because we all know that if you have to point out that it was meant to be a joke and then explain it to everyone then that is a sign of it being a really good joke. /s
