The Huffington Post reported contacted the person who claimed to be behind the Joel Osteen internet Hoax and websites.

Speaking exclusively with HuffPost on condition of anonymity, the man said he had carried out the plan partly "to test viral media markets" and partly to make a point. He did not like the sites, (website, twitter,etc) being called a "hoax".  

Here is what the man had to say, "I wanted to send Joel a message, to hopefully motivate him to talk about more serious subjects, such as Monsanto, GMOs, the poisons in our food and water, alternative cancer cures," he wrote in an email. "He has a worldwide stage he isn't using to do enough good, but rather he's wafting lightweight sermons peppered with cliches across the Sunday airwaves."

The man supposedly was really just trying to get Osteen's attention to let him know that he has failed to use his gift for speaking to really enact meaningful change.  He says Osteen has watered down his messages for his audience.  He goes on to say, "From a Christian standpoint, I understand why he has come under fire from traditionalists and those who say he preaches 'prosperity gospel.' Ahh, prosperity indeed... for himself!"

Joel Osteen has taken everything in stride since learning about his fake likeness on the web. Osteen spoke with ABC News overnight about the ordeal. "You know, I'm really not angry. I don't feel like a victim," Osteen said. "I feel too blessed, that life is too short to let things like this get you down."  He went on to say, "You can't stop everything from happening, but you can choose to say, 'God, it's in your hands'. I'm going to move forward. I'm going stay full of joy and I'm going enjoy this day."
