While people have been calling Justin Bieber greedy in recent weeks for charging as much as $2,000 for a chance to take a picture with him on tour, his latest Purpose Tour has been described as much of a day at church as a concert. According to the latest gossip news updates, the drag racing pot smoker is literally has his personal preacher join him on stage now a days to help him preach -- mid-concert -- to his devoted Beliebers. It seems that Selena Gomez ex-boyfriend is doing his best to bring Jesus to the forefront of his life, although he apparently hasn't gotten to the part where JC explains that it isn't very easy for the extremely wealthy to get into heaven.
Some of Justin Bieber's fans are absolutely outraged that their idol is trying to shake them down for two-grand just so they can attend a meet and greet when his Purpose Tour stops in their town.
According to the latest December 7 issue of In Touch, Bieber's Ultimate #Purpose Experience comes with little more than a chance to take a selfie and a nice seat for the show:
"Those 16-year-olds who are rolling in the dough will earn a selfie with Justin, a backstage tour, a seat in the section closet to the stage and an official tour plaque."
Although many of the Beliebers seem to be upset at the sudden price hike -- even coming up with the popular hashtag # justiceforbrokebeliebers as a result -- Bette Midler joked on Twitter that is was still a real deal once you factored in the complimentary peeny pic form earlier in the summer:
Justin Bieber’s fans upset because Concert tickets w/VIP meet and greet cost $2000. Well, remember, we all got to see his penis for free!

Perhaps, even more surprising than how much Justin is charging for his VIP package or even the size of his junk, is Bieber's latest habit of treating his sold-out shows like a congregation of a megachurch.
Mikael Wood of the L.A. Times reports that during a recent show, a skateboarding Bieber brought out his spiritual advisor on to the stage while Justin proceeded to actually preach to the crowd about his newly strengthened belief in the Bible (via Christian Post):
"Between the skateboarding and the singing, though, Bieber sat on a stool next to Judah Smith, the man described as his pastor, and more or less preached.
"He talked about the importance of maintaining a positive spirit and surrounding himself with encouraging people.
"He credited his connection with God for helping him to get back on his feet after a string of widely publicized tabloid troubles."
Apparently, the Biebs hasn't quite gotten to the passage where Jesus explains that the meek will inherit the earth.
