They should take down all the big time, big money pretend xtians on the boob tube. They're all scammers and circus freak acts.

I contend that at the very least each one of them could be considered a murderer or accessory to murder. Chances are at least one person in their audience has stopped taken medication, refused to seek treatment, or were made financially unable to seek treatment due to giving the healer a crapton of money because the healer convinced them that Jesus had or was going to heal them. Most famous example was in the 1970s. Kathryn Kuhlman (who is one of Hinn's inspirations) convinced a woman she had been healed of spinal cancer and told her to throw away her back brace and run across the stage to how God's power (and her own, of course). Her spine collapsed the next day, and she died four months later. More recently, they have been researched cases of elderly giving up their heart medication because of healers dying, and at least one preacher (Peter Popoff) used to (maybe still does) mass healings where he tells them Dr. Jesus says you don't need your medication and to throw it on the stage (which his group then cleans up after the event to see if they've got anything good). Hell, Pat Robertson's, "God is healing someone of <this ailment> in <name of city>," thing that he used to do has probably killed several people.

I hope they put the son-of-a-bitch away for the rest of his life.
