Another black eye for the cause

Flamboyant televangelist Benny Hinn continues to embarass the faithful with over-the-top spending, outlandish behavior, questionable testimonials, and, worst of all, a growing reputation as someone whose word cannot be trusted. When one makes an (irresponsibly) lavish living championing the Word who became flesh and incarnates Truth itself, one's own word must remain above reproach. Sadly, Pastor Benny's hasn't. For decades he has danced along the fine line of eccentricity in the tradition of locust-eating John the Baptist and outright charlatanry. For his own sake, and more importantly that of his followers, let's pray last night's expose on Dateline NBC awakens the Truth that he claims resides within him in a way that past scandals have not.

Stuff like this makes it so hard to witness. I have a few guys that I'm trying to win over and they always bring up these sort of things.
