I found it curious that Daniel really seemed to despise Eli as he was a charlatan preacher who was milking these poor folks of their nickels but at the same time Daniel was ripping them off as well! I loved that part at the end where he coaxes Eli to state "I am a false prophet and god is a superstition". Its funny that here we are, 100 years after the time when the events in the film took place and these are still some of the biggest scams going.

Yeah but its not just oil, it's real estate. So that means people will never stop fighting for it and hustling off the buying and selling of it.
I think in a way, Daniel was the bigger scumbag between the two although I despise religion especially when it is being used to grift and Eli is just what a modern day Joel Osteen is. But Daniel was literally taking these people for millions! I'm talking early 1900 millions which translates to a fuck load in modern day currency when you adjust for inflation. So Eli gives these fools hope on an afterlife and takes them for a few nickels compared to the wallop Daniel did to them. Plus Daniel is a murderous bastard so if you take that into account, Daniel is hands down the greater scumbag.

Oh, I'm with ya. Trust me, I have first hand witnessed people getting duped by religion to give up 10% of their pay. Its called "tithing" (what a friggin joke) . I think the fact that Daniel on the surfaced is not nearly as annoying as Eli makes him all the more dangerous. Most people with triple digit I.Q.s can see Eli coming a mile away but Daniel's offer can be quite enticing for a dirt poor farmer scraping a living.

I know! Especially since I really liked that film. I just saw the scene. 😋 BTW you totally remind of Mr. Skin. Fast forwarding to the good parts . He used to come on Stern all the time.

I haven't listen to Stern in years but I have heard that he has soften up quite a bit. Doesn't use the term "Gary the retard" as an example. I doubt he still has women on there riding the sybian. Still remember Carmen Electra riding it, man that was awesome. But yeah, I used to love Mr. Skin. Dude was funny as hell. I specifically remember his witty comments with that mid west accent and Duran Duran's Girls On Film playing the the background, quite appropriately. The guy had it down to the minutes and seconds in the film when a starlet would be in the buff. The man is a national treasure.

You are correct. Anyone smart enough to be able to distinguish themselves amongst the crowd will pave themselves a road to success. Howard found success because he didn't GAF what anyone thought. In fact, the more outrageous, the better. This is the winning formula and anyone willing to go against the grain will find success.

Daniel yeah sure ... used them ... but did give something in return.
While Eli ... now he .... just used them for Money .... giving Nothing in return... Just Deceiving the poor .... promising them salvation.....
Eli is the bigger Con Artist here ..... a schmuck ... who deserves to be beaten to a pulp.
Religion .... is a powerful tool to deceive .... if used the right way. Just like politics.

@ 1h:06m Time frame .....
We can clearly see.. the look on Eli's face...
He now knows that the Oil will bring a lot of money to Daniel making him really well off .... while he still struggles with his petty greed .... and prayer service in the Chapel.
