Why he might be annoying:

    Through his career, he has preached against divorce, especially among the clergy, and promised he would resign his ministry if he ever divorced, but when he divorced in 2000, he stayed on as pastor of his church.
    He isn't a particularly good writer and some of his books are annoying self-help crap.
    He's a televangelist.
    He does little to nothing in the way of helping the poor like the Bible says to.

Why he might not be annoying:

    'In Touch with Dr. Charles Stanley' is heard by millions, is broadcast on over 500 radio stations, 300 TV stations, and several satellite/cable networks and is translated into 107 languages.
    He is a pretty good amateur photographer.
    He has incredible speaking abilities; able to stand up and speak for an hour, quoting Bible verses, citing quotations, without stumbling, hesitating, or even stopping to take a drink of water.
    He's never had any financial or sexual scandals attached to his name.
    His father died when he was nine months old.
