Title: Televangelist most repugnant?
Post by: Outnumbered on February 21, 2013, 05:14:57 PM
They are a slimy lot, those televangelists. From Benny Hind to pork like Haggie. But my vote for biggest slime .ball ever goes to Pat Tilton. Old ladies sending him their rent and food money wasn't enough for this bastard. He told them to sell their homes to get the minimum "love offering of ten thousand dollars". According  to him, it took a commitment of at least ten grand to get Gawds attention.  And he promise that IF you had sufficient faith, that Gawd would pay you back double. So if you were poor, it was because you hadn't invested enough in Jesus. Just look at Tiltons example of how money came to those with real faith. If for some reason Gawd didn't pay you back right away, it just meant you hadn't payed enough or had sufficient faith. He also routinely was  struck by lightning as Gawd hit him with a beam from heaven that made him talk silly jibberish passed off as talking in toungues. The sad part is that many poor old people from another era, believed this jerk and went without so they could send him money. Makes me wish there was a hell, so bastards like him could enjoy the fruits of his labor. Do you have a favorite?

I vote Peter Popoff.  Not only did he sell that he was healing people by the power of god, thus making things worse for them, after he was found out in his tricks he left and the came back to do it some more by selling "special healing water" ina  tube.  I will give him one thing, he did say it wasn't the power of the water, but your faith and monetary gift that did the healing.

Pat Robertson. The slime ball owns a mountain top in Tennessee and has a diamond mine in Liberia.

I kinda like Ted Haggard.  Nothing says "man of God" like being a meth addict given over to soliciting sex from male prostitutes.

I'd say Benny Hinn is the biggest slimeball he has the biggest reach and wealth of all the con artists. I'd put the late Jerry Falwell in at second, and Pat Robertnuts in at 3rd.

They are ALL slimebags, but I can't find it in myself to feel sorry for the folks who give their money to these guys. Jesus went around being poor as fuck, and never asked for money from anyone (or at least, the gospel writers didn't think to include that bit). He told his followers to go out and preach the gospel, not "Go build a big church and then ask for lots of money to keep it going." If Christians would spend a few minutes contemplating that, they might reach the conclusion that selling their homes and giving up their rent checks to charlatans claiming to be the mouthpiece of God, is probably against what Jesus preached, as well as being a stupid idea in any case.

Peter Popoff... exposed as a fraud by James Randi two decades ago, then he crawls back out of the slime to do the same thing.

When I was younger, naive, and just becoming skeptical, I used to try to assume that even if what the preacher is peddling was bullshit that they were sincere about it.  Now of course I've learned better.  Fucking schysters.

Maybe there's a small part of these people that actually believe this shite, and know they eventually have to repent. He's starting a bit late though.
