"I've always felt that Jimmy Swaggart followers were bigger whack jobs than Pat Robertson followers."

What about Oral Roberts? Forget about his first name, but what about the claims of raising people from the dead, a 600 foot Jesus that picks him up and battling Satan in his bathroom? Talk about made for TV...

Oh yeah, and his plea for more money or God was going to call him home. What a nice touch.

Swaggart just doesn't have the imagination that the Roberts family does. Probably has a lot to do with a familial history of marrying under-aged cousins and getting down with a guitar...

I knew several people who went to Swaggart revivals when they were close enough. He would jazz them up into a frenzy and then they would all hug at the end. Some of these people didn't believe in God or anything, they just liked groovin' to the crowd.
