In a lecture in 2000 Randi mentioned a documentary he went undercover for in which they Benn Hinn's people rushed out a kid with cerebral palsy. They were able to secretly film it. Does anyone know if this documentary ever eventuated?
 
I know nothing of this documentary, but as a skeptic I am robbed of believing Benny Hinn will rot in hell. I personally know of an individual that went to one of his biggest televised events and was edited out on what was later televised.

I often tell christians just that - that if they're right, at least I'll be comforted by seeing all those lousy, fraudulent filth down there with me.

I could take a lot of pain to watch Benny Hinn and his ilk getting the red-hot poker treatment.
 
Here's a shorter video that sums his act up fairly well:

 
Personally, I'd pay to see a Benny Hinn vs. Kiai Master cage match.

Thanks for putting that up, a nicely-edited piece!

I just don't get this. I can understand people believing in a god and trotting off to church. I can even understand people buying into ID and The FloodTM, but I don't understand the type of insanity that allows people to get sucked in by this ridiculous clown in his white suit.

And joobz; never mind the death cage, five minutes somewhere quiet with me would do the trick.

It's easier to be told what the 'truth' is, then to go out and find out for yourself. It's this type of dangerous thinking that has created so much strife in the world.

If I can make you believe that 2+2=5, then I can make you believe in anything I want you to.
 
Coming to pay-per-view! Benny Hinn vs. Yellow Bamboo: The Energy Match!

Yeah, all that's a given for any fundie - to believe that the earth was created 6010 years ago takes a special kind of doublethink, but I think people who follow Hinn are a different scale of lunacy entirely.

I think Wiki has him sorted.

Man, you know you are in trouble when your fellow Christians are saying that you have to much money.

Taken from the above link (bolding mine)

Although his ministry is popular with Charismatics, many Christians are uncomfortable with certain aspects of his teaching and his lavish lifestyle. He lives in an ocean-front mansion valued at an estimated $8.5 million in an exclusive gated community in Dana Point, California, travels by private aircraft, and stays in hotel rooms costing upwards of $3,000 per night.[4] In December 2006, he sent out a mailing asking for donations towards a new Gulfstream G4SP jet valued at an estimated $36 million.[5] However a point seldom mentioned and subsequently largely unknown is that Benny Hinn spends over 700 hours per year in the air (aproximately 1 month of the year) and some have questioned if his workload would be possible to sustain through commercial travel.[citation needed]

In March 2005, Ministry Watch, an independent evangelical organization which reviews Christian ministries for financial transparency and efficiency and advises potential donors accordingly, issued a Donor Alert stating that "the reported exorbitant spending of the Hinn family reveals that BHM has far more money than it needs to carry out its ministry" and advising Christians to "prayerfully consider withholding contributions to Benny Hinn" while praying for his restoration and repentance.[6]
Benny Hinn Ministries is not a member of the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability.

I wonder if he knows that it is easier for a rich man to get into heaven, then it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle?

What a truly evil person.

I would not be at all surprised if Benny Hinn is an atheist.
 
I'd like to see a Benny Hinn video which ends with him getting chased out of his tent by all the angry customers waving baseball bats, in jerky fast motion, and to the tune of "Yakety Sax."
 
the proof that god does not exist is he never has his naughty parts nailed to a chopper as it takes off

As an atheist myself, I would not give him that label. There are a few other labels that are much more appropriate. However I am too much of a gentleman to use them in a public forum. But I think you all know the ones I mean.

Maybe Benny Hinn thinks of faith healing exactly Sylvia Browne what feels about psychic powers and mediumship: they are the last people on Earth to believe in his/her own "powers" and the possibility of those powers existing in anyone but remain committed Christians nevertheless.

She knows she's a fraud. She knows psychic abilities in general are a fraud. However, she is allegedly passionate and sincere about Gnosticism.

Maybe it's the same with Benny Hinn. Maybe he can be devout and sincere in his belief while perpetuating spiritual fraud on others. Or maybe not.
