If you watch a televangelist and say that the entire Christian faith must be ****ed up based on that observation, it would be like watching Fox News and saying that all of America must be ****ed up like that...

America isn't ****ed up like that?

No, America is far more seriously messed up in more ways than you can imagine, and it is getting worse everyday, with every news report, with every legal action, with every bit of legislation it gets worse and it will keep getting worse until only the Left can tolerate it.

being left is great isn't it

It's quite common for them to have bad hairstyles and equally bad suits. Why can't we have some televangelists who appeal to a wider audience (and I don't mean let's have fat televangelists). I'd like to see some real people for a change.

OK, apparently the real reason why Benny Hinn needs all that money is because the only spiritual experience he will ever have is downing his supply of Southern Comfort. When he runs out of that, there's always some Beam.

And another thing, I doubt very much that atheists could ever be televangelists; I doubt they could sink low enough to pervert themselves in the name of a mythical being to rip off the populace. Why you ask? Being an evangelist is akin to being a lawyer, used-car salesman or real-estate agent; you have to be a real bastard to succeed at those sort of things. I don't believe atheists are truly THAT evil.

Take that dude from the 700 club.... He's make a perfect Honest John flogging cars.

How do we know that televengelists are not secret atheists? If Barack Obama can be a secret Muslim, anything's possible.

(Obama is not a secret Muslim.)

What matters morality to a person without morality?

Absolutely nothing. The question is, is the person's amorality willful or pathological in nature?

I think all they do is twist the Bible. They use fear,ignorance etc to get money and promote fear . They make me sick.

You only need to see those few South Park episodes to realise how corrupt those bastards are.

Televangelists, that is; althought Cartman is just corrupt by nature.
