Separated at birth?Hinn’s hair and the Sydney Opera House?

It makes senseI mean, if God is with him all the time, you wouldn’t want God to fly coach, would you?

I now have the urge to go watch Cannonball Run againDean Martin to Sammy Davis, Jr.: “God is our co-pilot? Our car has two seats.  Where’s he gonna sit?”

I think it’s just that his hair is possessed by demons.

Re-post from the Uganda story – jets and JeebusTo paraphrase James T. Kirk, “Why does God need a Gulfstream?”
Then there is the concept of Uganda as a great big piggy bank for worldwide evangelicals to pluck for as much cash as they can fit into a Gulfstream jet before Uganda smartens up to the scam -

Ugandans got ‘invaded’ by a Nigerian Prosperity Gospel and Curse-Deliverance Czar, Bishop David Oyedepo, of course at the invitation of his branch Church in Kampala, The Winners Chapel. Bishop Oyedepo flew to Uganda aboard his own private Gulf Stream Jet and welcomed by throngs of his followers in Uganda.
And yet another Gulfstream Jet owning “man of the people” descends upon Uganda…

The day that was, Dr.Creflo Dollar’s visit proceeding Pastor Benny Hinn’s crusade has seen the church in Uganda delving in another dimension; spiritually but more so realistically. He lives what he preaches and as such, surely and steadily, the prosperity message is taking root.
The Pastors are selling what they have so as to raise nearly 700 Million to 1 Billion Uganda Shillings which is equivalent to Half a Million US Dollars so as to sow into the Creflo Dollar Ministries. This drive is spearheaded by Pastor Kayanja who is also known for his pompous lifestyle in Uganda. Kayanja believes that he too will own his own Gulf Stream Jet just like Creflo soon, so does Pastor Ssematimba so they can go “preach the gospel easily”.
According to announcements by Pastor Kayanja in his Rubaga Miracle Center Cathedral, the money has to be raised from the African Pastors in Uganda. This money will be used to cover all the cost of the 1 day evening with Creflo Dollar in Kampala, Uganda’s Capital.
Pastors have already begun giving, some have given their cars, others money including hard cash in US dollars, all in bides to raise the Half Million US Dollars needed to have one evening with Creflo Dollar. One Pastor who drives a Hummer around Kampala streets gave 10,000 US dollars in cash for the Creflo Meeting. Companies and high profile government officials are joining the drive.
According to Pastor Kayanja, Ugandan Pastors will pay 50,000 US Dollars for Jet Fuel for Creflo Dollar to fly from Atlanta to Uganda and back, so that would mean 100,000 US Dollars for a return journey. The price includes airport fees and handling charges for the Creflo Dollar Gulf Stream Jet.
And of course there’s good old Benny Hinn – Snake Oil Salesman exraordinaire…
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/…
And yes, this IS the same Benny Hinn who sent out a request for his followers to pay for his new Gulfstream jet.
Benny Hinn has already taken delivery on a new Gulfstream jet, and wants you to pay for it, because “it is the only we Pastor Benny can continue to go as God directs.” If you don’t pony up for Benny Hinn’s jet, “safety will plummet,” Pastor Benny will be plumb tuckered out, and most importantly, untold numbers of precious souls who might have been saved will go to hell. All because of you. But if you do help pay for Benny Hinn’s jet, he’ll put your name in the special prayer cabin he’s going to use as he races across the planet aboard, ahem, “Dove One,” fulfilling the Great Commission from “the highest prayer tower in the world … where he will intercede for you… .” And God will hear him better because he’ll be 40,000 feet closer to heaven. …Benny Hinn says in his appeal for the rest of the $6 million downpayment on the jet, “What we do for the sake of the Gospel, we must do now!”
My only thought is that if Mr. Hinn takes so much a single Ugandan schilling from the desperately poor and sick people longing, begging, for a miracle it will make him a spiritual predator, a spiritual terrorist.

Divorce probably won’t be an issue.Divorce, adultery, and such are often seen as optional prohibitions, it seems.  This has been the case for a long time, e.g. one of the architects of the Satanic Panic, Mike Warnke, divorced multiple times during his popularity; none seem to have an adverse impact.

I can only imaginethat Hinn will try to buy her off to keep silent, not only about the specific reasons for the divorce but about his whole scam operation, about which she must know a lot of dirt.  (There are unsubstantiated rumors circulating that she has come out as a lesbian.  I can’t tell you how I hope that’s true.)
In any event, Hinn is already circulating press releases that put all the blame on her.   He has, he claims, worked mightily to “heal” their marriage, but she has rebuffed his efforts.  So even if the divorce goes through, he’ll be off the hook with the millions of suckers Christians who choose to believe in him.

My granny loved him……and sadly, yeah, I knew he was pure snake oil. But he made her happy in her declining years. Our family made sure she had what she needed and that she understood she couldn’t seen him more than $20 a month.
Yeah, he’s pure snake oil. I know that. But it made my granny happy and more comfortable in her declining years.
He does deserve deserve exactly what he’s gonna get. AFter all… you shall reap what ye sow.  

This guy and his fellow talibangelists are such an obvious fraudsThis guy and his fellow talibangelists are such an obvious frauds, yet they deceive masses of sheeple into giving them millions so they can live in luxury while there flock struggle to pay the simplest bills.
During the 70′s I was studied for 2 years at a bible college run by a pentecostal church, with the intention of becoming a minister. I had gotten caught up in the Jesus people, Jesus freak movement of the time that now in retrospect was an attempt by me to pray away my gender identity issues.
One of the college’s requirements was to attend church services several times a week at the various Pentecostal Church’s in the city where the college was located. It was the obvious money grubbing at most of these Church’s that got me to start questioning if this was the right path for me to follow. At one church service in particular, during the one hour service the minister passed the collection plates around over six times because the amount of money being given was not enough to his liking. This church was located in the center of the poorest neighborhood in the city and it was apparent to me that the sheeple attending this church were very poor and could ill afford to give much of what little money the had. The minister of this church was driving a brand new Cadillac and wearing a very expensive suit and jewelery which were all paid for by his flock.
Also while attending this bible college, I happened to read an “insider article” about a study on the motivations of people who decide to enter the ministry that was a real eye opener to me as well. The article reported that two thirds of those studying to become ministers were in it mainly for the money while only one third were in it for their religious convictions.
I dropped out of this college after that 2nd year in part because of the questions and doubts that had been raised. It took me several more years before I gave up on “corporate churchs” as I had come to refer to these money grubbing churchs completely. Since then I have moved on and greatly expanded my understanding of the world, the universe and that which we humans call god/goddess. The force that I have come to know is far to large to neatly fit into the tiny and limited boxes that the majority of religions try to limit and cram god/goddess into.
I still respect the teachings of Jesus who taught love, compassion and tolerance, as I now also respect the teachings of Buddha and many others. I have no respect and only contempt for preachers like Benny Hinn who are only in it for the money. They are the false prophets that Jesus warned about who would lead many astray, their only real concern is making a profit. If there ever is a biblical day of judgment, it will be preachers like Benny Hinn who will stand before god/goddess and proclaim that they preformed miracles and did great works in Jesus’ name and to whom will be sent away because the god/goddess never knew them.      

See, we start letting the gays marry, and there goes traditional marriageright out the window.  (/sarcasm)

Give to Sister Maureen’sSmite the Serpent Ministries.
The Serpent in the Garden, the Pesnis, is EBIL! Ebil, I tell you.
The only truly woman in history, the Virgin Mary, KNEW NOT MAN!
Give generously to Sister Maureen’s Ministies, for we can cure “Teh Straight” but only with YOUR help!

whateverI’m sure everything will be fine.  Given that Rev. Benny can cure cancer and paralysis with a smack to the forehead, divorce should be a cinch.  

“Holy” crapI was attending an ASSembly of gawd “church” for a couple years in my later teens. I was swept up in the mass hysteria.
Looking back, it’s so obvious that it was all crap. “Holy” crap, indeed.

Was it a little bible college in Charlotte, ME? >.>

Wild-Haired FreakThis is the guy who claimed the gay community would be destroyed and totally gone by the mid 90′s.

I hope she opens her own Book of Revelations……on his pious ass!
I cannot BEGIN to describe how much I loathe and despise these people. Hinn, Popoff, Dollar, Haggard, Swaggert, Robertson, et al.
Frauds, charlatans, con men, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.
But as long as you’re swindling the suckers with a “Reverend” before your name, why, that’s just jim dandy!
The ONLY regret I have as an atheist is that there is no Hell for these scumbags. Eternal Torment is the very least they deserve.  

Holy Ghost EnemaWe can only hope that she starts her own scamtastical church.

surprisedI’m actually surprised. Typically they just ignore it, knowing they practically can do no wrong to their followers, who will insist the supposed right of having converted people absolves all wrongs.
