But it’s an opposite cheat—you know, like an “opposite marriage” but adulterous—so it’s not as sinful/delicious as it could be. But however they fall, it’s always nice to see a snake-oil-peddlin’, homophobia-preachin’ POS fall:
There’s a new televangelist soap opera. Reports this week suggest a still-married Benny Hinn is now romantically involved with Paula White, another television preacher with a colourful past. The 57-year-old Hinn, who began his preaching career at a church hall near Yonge and Bloor Streets in the 1970s, is best known for his faith-healing “Miracle Crusades” and his half-hour television show, “This is Your Day.”
White, 44, is the star of television’s “Paula White Today,” whose ministries reputedly pulled in $40 million in donations and sales of various goods in 2006. Her website’s current offerings include the four-CD set, “Creating Healthy Relationship” in return for “any gift amount.”
I think it’s safe to say that preachers/religious figureheads/rebublicans/anti-gay homophobes should be assumed to be packing it from behind, rather than actually hating homosexuals. Their cry is a cry for attention, rather than hating the actions of which they hide.
The news is in genuine hate-machines. I’m of the firm belief that hate is simply fear, misdirected or not.
