Sure, but I feel sorry for these people. No, they may not be very bright, but so many of them are poor or sick or old and desperate. The Bible is very clear on how we're expected to treat the least among us, and these hucksters just prey on them. They should all be thrown in fucking jail.

I didn't watch the video (something tells me I wouldn't like it very much).  But I agree with your sentiment.  That's why it's so important for people to know the Bible for themselves, instead of just blindly trusting someone else- and following them (instead of Christ).

Agree completely. You should watch it. If you are a follower of Christ then I suspect it will make you as angry as it made me.  

I just now got a chance to watch it. It's really not anything new or shocking to me about the world of Televangelism. Just presented in a more comical light. There are laws about praying on the elderly or disabled. However some of these folks are legally doing just that...and tax free.

Great... just what I need: ANOTHER reason to be angry.  I swear, if my name was Bruce Banner, I'd never stop being green.
