There's a question in there that I can't answer.
Being from North Carolina, I know many people who were and are bilked out of monies they plainly, flatly cannot afford to throw away by Xian charlatans. To be sure, these people are clueless goobers who willingly threw their money away on these con artists. But does that make it okay for people like Swaggart, Benny Hinn, Robertson, Olsteen, TBN, etc. to exploit their foolishness? I'd say "No" to that question, but I'm not sure how I'd answer the question as to whether or not the preachers should be punished for shearing the flock.
To me, this is awfully close to an average grade school child stealing lunch money from the Special Ed kids.
