You forgot Benny Hinn.  That guy is pretty scary.

 My vote is for Pat Robinson though.

Although he's not a televangelist, Paul Crouch needs to be on the list. If not him, his wife is pretty damn scary.

They're all scary. Don't

They're all scary.

Don't you wonder if they actually believe the drivel they spout?  Or do they just see those dollars rolling in?

People such as Hinn are in it for the money, and the power. They've come up with the "name it claim it" theology to mask the fact that what they're doing is patently unchristian. I would say there's very few ministers of decently sized congregations that don't have a, at least, comfy lifestyle. I think people like Hinn believed at first, but riches and power corrupted them. But this has gone on for centuries, so I'm not surprised. Christians in the US are extremely materialitic, but I repeat myself.
