"All 'holy-men' are just con artists."
There... Fixed it for you.

I believe that a certain percentage of them truly believe what they are preaching. It's a small percentage, but I believe there are some.

Has the channel been shut down? Or is it still selling snake oil?

casuallychaotic.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just remembering that the part of the Bible where Jesus warns against people who clothe themselves in holy vestments while not living by the scriptures was cut out of the official Church sanctioned version.

Not nearly enough of a fine.

m-j-murcott.bsky.social•1 day ago

That fine was in the UK rather than in America where his major audience is.

All holy men are con artists

True. If it’s not a con against others, it’s a con against their self, sadly.

crypte.bsky.social•14 hours ago

The con always ends up by everyone hurting. Except a few sociopaths, I guess…

This.

I think that it's far more likely that Christian TV causes cancer than that some "miracle water" offered on it can cure it.

Too bad Christian TV doesn't cure pedophilia.

I think Jesus has to be really disgusted with what's going on down here right now.

Preying (not praying) on sick people. People like this bellend should be in jail .

People are gullible. Hell they voted for Trump.

miri100.bsky.social•22 hours ago

75 million of us did not vote for Trump and knew what a lunatic he was and what was gonna happen the other 77 million were too busy with their self interest to care about the rest of us FOFA

Lets try by doing a trial run on people who make such claims.

Peter Popoff, the religious conman has now been fined in the UK for lying about cancer, just like James Randi exposed him a couple of decades ago, it is a wonder that he is still making money.

mike01010.bsky.social•1 day ago

This guy’s commercial used to come one cable station all the time. I called and complained to the station. People were on camera claiming that after getting the miracle spring water they received checks ranging from 25 - 50k.

He looks a little like Ronald Reagan. They could have so much in common.

gripyoldman.bsky.social•1 day ago

“So many”? Name any who aren’t

phoenician.bsky.social•1 day ago

Some are. Many Christians aren’t.

Some of us actually try and live this stuff.

They need to loose their broadcast license. There has to be real consequences

noseboops-druid.bsky.social•17 hours ago

When will they learn that fines are not enough for people like him. He needs to also be imprisoned.

Fake ministers are all con artists.
They know the Bible is telling them to return the money.

World peace is coming.
Those that remain live forever.

Between them, dirty priests, and mega-church-televangelists, who can blame people for losing trust in religious organizations?

Regardless of which god(s) someone believes in, I don't think any god truly advocates for cheating, lying, or abuse 🤷‍♀️

sandraleetrahan2.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Proven scams should be prosecuted. NO MORE complete separation of church and state! Taxe the FUCK out of them if they become political!
