Swaggart is another one. He's been caught with prostitutes in perverse sex situations more than once. Not that I object, but his faith seems to. He comes back with a vengeance. I have seen him on stage crying his eyes out in penance, preaching what a sinner he is, and how he will never do it again...and then he gets caught again, and these folks buy the act hook line and sinker.

Didn't this sucker go to jail for something? For tax fraud? I can't believe he's back. His flock buys the act because they don't believe he's guilty. Its all this faith-based mysticism; I guess to believe, you have to park your rationality and logic at the door.

"Paralized people walk, blind people see, deaf people hear."

Oral Roberts used to raise the dead. He toned that one down when he went national, but it used to wow them in Oklahoma. Now he just battles it out with Satan in the bathroom when he isn't having conversations with a 60 foot Jesus...

There is a name for people like that. It escapes me at the moment though.
