Televangelists are Properly Dangerous 

The scary thing about televangelism is that real people believe it.

I've had a street preacher grab and pull me over me before against my will. I introduced him to the street and held him there until he answered my question. I asked him if he liked it when other people forcefully put there hands on him. He looked like he'd never seen a woman fight back before.

Some years ago, televangelist Oral Roberts announced that God had told him he must raise a million dollars in donations, or "God will call me home!" A sign on a building in my town went up, saying, "Save your money! Send Oral home!" Laughed my ass off!

My mother still to this day donates 10% of her income to her church.... I remember growing up in squalor, with no food in the house...and watching her give the church 10% of our welfare money...sad to say even with all her "faith" she's still basically in the same position...only now living in senior housing on social security-disability... it's quite sad and pathetic what these tax exempt jack-holes do to the minds of those who are impressionable... I've seen them for what and who they truly are... multimillion dollar churches being remodeled, and a pastor living in a mansion driving sports cars, meanwhile a large percentage of their congregation is poor, but if they just believe hard enough, the blessings will trickle right on down!!

Ranking televangists in order of evil, is like trying to decide which circle of hell you wish to have your permanent vacation on.

My Grandmother was a very devout Catholic. She thought God would cure my stomach problems if she were faithful enough. When I was a kid I hid when I was in pain or feeling sick from her because I didn't want her to feel that she wasn't faithful enough. It made me really sad for both of us. Edit: My Grandmother and my family were not neglectful of my medical needs. I was taken to the doctor several times. No anatomical abnormalities were found and so I was accused of faking for attention. I was eventually diagnosed as an adult with IBS-D and gastroparesis, two conditions that don't cause the organs to look abnormal which is all doctors checked for when I was young. My Grandmother loved me very much and felt the only option she had was to rely on her faith in God to help me. She loved me very much and I have many fond memories of her.

My granny was steeply invested in these guys. Retired crop pickers living in the South, my grandparents were the farthest thing from wealthy, but she gave what she could and rejoiced when she got letters (xerox copied, I noticed) saying they would "pray for her." Grandpa was a no-nonsense guy who was probably atheist but told everyone he was Baptist just to avoid trouble. He thought the whole televangelist thing was dumb, but it made her happy, so he allowed her to send a little every month. (Luckily not 10%, but more like $20.) If it was a placebo that kept her spirits up, which in turn helped her mental health, then he felt it was worth the money. It was really sad.

my brother has autism, cerebral palsy and is quadriplegic, and my mum has told me so many story’s of religious ppl coming to her unprovoked and saying they will heal and fix him (OVERNIGHT) and he will walk again bla bla. As long as she make a large ‘donation’ that is, lucky she never fell for it but its so disgusting. The sad thing is my brother liked going to church when he was younger but now he doesn’t obviously

Are you not aware of the Simonist Church of the Blaze? You've become part of the problem. Praise be Lord Simon! 🙌

My parents and grandparents worked at PTL. While the Bakkers (pronounced Baker), were living in luxury, my family was barely scraping by and living in crappy trailers. It took adulthood for me to realize how messed up it all was.

As a Christian myself, I try to rescue people I know who are trapped in the prosperity gospel movement. It damns you to pride or despair. You're making it rich, then God must love you and keep doing what you're doing, even if what you're doing is evil. Since you're rich, it must mean God approves. Most commonly of all, it damns to despair. I've been to a Benny Hinn service and even met his nephew who escaped that movement. There's a backroom full of desperate mothers clutching their dying children. They're told God will heal their children of they give and have faith, while at the same time, are shuffled to a back room where none of the TV cameras can see them. These poor people who can't think straight because they're so distraught over their loved ones dying are being swindled. Enough can't be said to expose these charlotteans.

A little story about Benny Hinn. I caught him on cable TV about 25 years ago. He was promoting a bible that he apparently annotated and added all sorts of notes to. I don't know how long he had already been doing it, but I watched him for a good 30 minutes telling people that if they didn't have this particular bible, they were in danger of hell fire itself! However, because Benny is such a great guy who just wants everyone to go to heaven, he's gonna send us this bible absolutely free of charge!! A gift for your soul!! (For a donation of $100 or more.) So, basically, he was selling a $10 bible, for $100 and the beauty of it was that because it was a "free gift," no taxes, and no returns. You don't like it? Too bad! It was a gift! Now THAT is a scammer of the highest level. That he is STILL out there is pretty disturbing.

Thank you for absolutely dunking on these scam artists.

If a preacher grabs you by the arm, especially when you’re blind - a) that’s assault, b) surely you’re allowed to defend yourself…

Dave's story reminds me of a similar incident that happened with a friend of mine who is also blind. We were out with some friends for pizza, drinks and cigars. He was holding my arm when this preacher ran up to us and asked if he wanted Jesus to heal his eyes. My friend said sure, if Jesus could do it himself, since he didn't want the preacher's ugly face to be the first thing he sees. We still get a laugh out of that one.

That crazy-ass televangelist ranting about how commercial airliners are full of demons has given me mental images of Moxxie and Millie from _Helluva Boss_ on a plane, just being the most wholesome couple imaginable!

I had the misfortune to meet Benny Hinn. I was working the overnight shift at a resort in FL. He checked in a couple hours into my shift. The guy was really rude. I had the next couple nights off. When I came back in I found out he checked out early because apparently we weren't up to his standards. Makes me wonder if Jesus would've left a negative review of the manger he was born in.

Okay but the other darkside of the Prosperity Gospel beyond "Just give all your money to televangelist" is that if you're poor, sick, and suffering well it must mean you are wicked and sinful, because if you were faithful God would bless you!

My husband was a missionary. The church we attend observes the law of tithes, but if you are in financial need, you will be cared for. Food, rent, it doesn’t matter, you will get help. My husband would talk to people of other faiths who would get guilt tripped by their pastors for not donating enough. The amount of times he heard, “I can’t afford anything else, I have tithing,” broke his heart. Tithing is to help those in need, it should never be used to enrich oneself. I will happily give to ensure the welfare of others, whether it’s to my church or to other charities to make sure people are okay.

My heart goes out to the blind guy. I’ve had 5 spinal surgeries and those weirdos always find me to heal me. Most of them are mentally ill themselves. My mom is mentally ill and as a kid would drag me and my sister to all of the Benny hinn conferences. We met his brother, his kids, his violinist (all a bunch of jerks that think their better than everyone else). The amount of times it was my fault for my slipped discs was uncountable. Today I go to a quiet Baptist church where nobody touches me, tries to knock me over, or put their hands on my forehead or chin. It’s so quiet during the preaching you could hear a phone drop out of a pocket. I’ll take boring any day over those crazies.

I have a blind friend who goes to every faith healer he can find. When it (of course ) didn't work, he'd loudly say, Shit, the last 10 guys couldn't heal me either! :-)

What's forgotten about Jim and Tammy Bakker is how they cried during the requests for money segments. The tears would start and stop like someone threw a switch. It was particularly notable on Tammy, who used to to apply her makeup with a trowel, making a horrible mess while she sobbed.

"I'm counting my blessings And I've found true happiness 'Cause I'm getting richer, day by day" That pretty much sums it up. God i LOVE that song.

Simon's take on televangelists was the content I didn't know I was missing

I asked a very religious person what they thought about TV Evangelicals, and he said that they would stand before God to be judged, like the rest of us.

New Brain Blaze. We need a miniseries on the most properly dangerous/vindictive televangelists.

This is hands down, the best Simon Whistler content released today . Bravo Dave, bravo.

the credits are G O L D. I was dying this whole episode, but those credits did me in, those are SO funny.

If it makes you feel better Simon my Grandfather was a radio pastor and he hated most of the televangelists and considered them to be some of the worst sinners.

There was this one case in my country where this one b-celeb became a devout christian after a highly publicised drug-fueld episode in a bar, and started proselytizing to random passerbys in the street. She would yell the name of Jesus, talk in tongues and convulse while yelling that Jesus is entering her. After this admittedly fantastic show, she would solicit people for donations for "her church". Now all this was hilarious on it's own, but one time when she started shaking and speaking in tongues during her "shows", someone had called the police and they tried to stop her because she was actively "performing" without a proper licence on the public street(That licence is free, btw. Its sole purpose is to weed out scammers). She tried to protest and said that the money she had collected that day was not from performing, but are donations to her "church"... And collecting donations without a permit is a major financial crime here. So, instead of of getting removed from the street corner for performing without licence, she was arrested for illegal fundraising and served 3 months in jail. Somehow after that, she was not interested in Jesus anymore... 🤣

Sam was like, finally i get to use the large folder of televangelist memes and no other folder!

This is perhaps, your best yet. Thank you.

"I believe that God does not endorse TV evangelists" Savage Garden spitting facts! 😂

When I was about 10 or so, my mother drug me to a Benny Hinn “crusade” in Louisville. If you’ve ever seen Benny Hinn, you will have seen him raise his hand toward the crowd and the whole place be filled with people falling over…. Except me… because being mildly autistic has left me not all that suggestible via social cues. So there I am, standing surrounded by thousands of people all laying on the ground… and that’s when I was completely done with trying the Christian thing lol!

I wish I could double like this video. My whole family believes in this hogwash (my dad is literally a baptist preacher). Your skepticism helps me stay sane and not feel so alone. Thank you. ❤

I grew up with preachers like this. Jerry Falwell et al. The scary thing is that a lot of these preachers open schools. I was sent to a couple of these schools. At 60, in therapy still trying to undo the damage.

My great grandmother and her sister lived in a crappy little basically a shack ~ they did things like watch other ppls kids , do other ppls laundry , clean other ppls homes . They wore old clothes and my great aunt was rumored to have turned to eating canned animal food as it seemed they NEVER had "extra" money . My great aunt died and my great grandmother insisted on living in her "home" . When she did die she had the vast sum of 14 cents in her pocket ! When my grandma went to clean out their home she and her sister discovered a small box that contained receipts totaling more than 5 thousand dollars that they had been sending to some "holy roller " on the radio ! So yeah its all bullshit

Met a nice guy in the waiting area of my local hair salon. I was in a removable foot brace for my foot sprain. Just before he was called to get his hair cut he turned to me and asked if he could pray over my foot. Turns out a few years earlier he had done so over some relatives and literally the next day, the person was no longer in pain. HIs family was so stunned they were financing him and a local preacher to travel the SW doing such prayer healings. So I said sure. No harm. He did so quite sincerely. If he had known I wasn't much of a believer, his prayers might have caused my foot to go up in flames 😈 Needless to say, there was no immediate improvement and though he mentioned I might feel the improvement overnight, I did not. In fact, the healing took as long as the doctor said it might and I still have some residual pain and swelling

Funny little side story. Yesterday was time change. My dad refers to this as Benny hen Sunday. Because you're supposed to fall back lol😂😂😂

The introduction was fantastic!

Simon, it is absolutely safe to say what you really think about these people without worrying about legalities. They cannot sue you under US law, and it's quite probable that their enterprises are not considered religions in your place of residence.

Random Tammy Faye trivia: She was on The Surreal Life with Ron Jeremy and they actually became good friends. He would talk to her about her beliefs and would actually listen to her, and he was kind to her. As she died of cancer a couple of years after, it was actually nice to see that she actually had at least one genuine friend.

One of the shortest intros you've ever had Simon haha. Great video!!

Flippin' brilliant!!! 😂❤ So many of these (and many of them nonreligious or spiritual) on social media!! Brilliant!!!!

You are smashing it, Simon. RU-vid needs a skeptic. The present is great, unlike the past. Terrible, allegedly.

I was raised in a christian cult and we had large "healing services." After one, I was told I had been healed, and I was forced to tell a large church full of people about my "healing experience."

I agree. Your position is actually well reasoned and generous. Carry on.

When I was younger, I saw "Benny Hinn" in the TV Guide and thought it was a typo for "Benny Hill". I was sadly disappointed when I put the show on.

Fun fact, Kenneth Copeland is tiny and there’s no such thing as a surprise candid interview. He’s got more security than the U.S. President. In the clip of the car, he’s standing on the door sill so he can be taller. The lady interviewing him is significantly taller than he is. It’s part of his shtick. His guys carry a variety of stools and steps for him to stand on and he never appears on stage with someone taller than him. When you interview with him, his team tells you up front he may get loud and scary and they offer to put something between him and the interviewer. But it’s really a screen so you can’t see how short he is.

We need a whole episode just on Kenneth Copeland. That man is fucking terrifying

I love hearing Simon’s real accent in-between the script reading!

Simon always manages to reflect on what most amuses him and entertains his audience and then comes back with something even better!

My thoughts exactly. Though I would say greed is the cause of 80% of the worlds problems. It just has a way of working through religion.

3:50 - Chapter 1 - Benny Hinn 6:10 - Chapter 2 - Kenneth copeland 11:05 - Chapter 3 - Jim & tammy bakker

I knew a guy who worked for Hinn. He got cured regularly on his tours. One week he would be blind, another he'd have Cerebral Palsy, etc. I asked him he ever felt horrible conning people and he said no. He was "Displaying the Power of Christ." I asked about the actual sick and disabled in the audience and they have no access the stage having to walk a route of mazes that eventually led them back to where they started, and by then the altar call to the sick was over. He said in all likelihood, their faith would not be strong enough to be healed on stage. And Hinn wanted them to write in, sending a check, and they would be healed at home. Again-- this guy HONESTLY thought he was doing no wrong. It's insane.

Just ran into you now and I LOVE your tone in this video! 👍👍👍 I grew up in a house that bought the tripe, hook, line, and sinker 😢🙄 At 13:20, did Jim dress *himself* that morning??? 🤔😅

Religion may not be evil but plenty evil actions (for lack of better word) in the name of religion. 💯

Listening to Simon do a very Southern accent for Benny Hinn was just PEAK Fact Boi madness.

All of these scammers deserve to be in prison

Dear Simon, Your beard is looking properly divine, my friend. As a fellow bearded person, I must ask about what exactly you are using to maintain it as you are. Perhaps a sponsor advert is in order from you. Sincerely, Matthew K

I grew up in North Carolina and they have this major road in the capital named after Billy Graham. One of my Great Auntie's believed in that stuff. She would send some of her social security check to them. I would hide the post that they would send her asking for donations in her final years while looking after her.😢

I once went to a Benny Hinn event, held at the Melbourne, Myer Music Bowl in the late 1990s. I did it both, out of curiosity (I am a Mystic and highly spiritual, but also a Rationalist and skeptic), and because I was an avid photographer, and wanted to photograph the event (this is in the days before digital cameras, and I developed my own film). As such, I carried not only a professional camera, with multiple expensive telephoto and other lenses, and probably looked like an investigative reporter. Knowing what to expect, I explicitly refused to take anybody with me, lest they get caught up in the BS. When I got there, I was forbidden, by security from approaching closer than about 100 metres from the stage, because those seats, where reserved for "paying" customers, with tickets. I argued with a couple of them, explaining how Jesus never charged his followers, and actively scolded his disciples, from keeping children away from him, and that I was only here to record the event. But alas, to no avail. Although, as I will explain, I clearly got their attention. I spent the evening and night wandering around observing the rest of the crowd, definitely paying less attention to Benny, and more to the way the crowd responded to his show. With a background in psychology, including hypnosis, it soon became very clear to me that the vast audience (easily many thousands) was almost entirely in a trance state, singing hymns and waving their arms in the air, in a tragic symphony of deceit. The music and other choices for the venue, the meeting's progress and fairly much every psychological trick in the book was clearly being used to put these people into a highly suggestible state. It wasn't that Benny Hinn was particularly Charismatic; he was just using everyone's natural human psychology against his victims. I'd seen many of the same tricks used in my parent's Catholic Charismatic church meetings, as was by this stage, well vaccinated against them. At one point of the night, I turned to look at one of the video cameras, placed high on a scaffold, so that it could pan over the crowd below. However, this one wasn't panning, rather it was pointed straight at me. I don't mean that it was pointed near me, I mean that if that camera had been using its full telescopic potential, it would have been pointed directly at my face and only my face. After a few seconds of staring right back at it, which felt like staring down the barrel of a tank (I'm a former tank soldier as well) the cameraman moved it to point elsewhere. These cameras weren't small. They were the sort that can pick out and focus on an individual from half a KM or more, so if they'd wanted to get a good picture of me, it was trivial, for them to do. Think the sort of cameras used at major sporting events. Later, when I drove home, it seemed that I was being followed. I turned into a dead end street and quickly pulled over, only for the other car to enter about five seconds behind me, and realising his mistake its driver was forced to do a quick U-turn and exit, thereby allowing me to return home unfollowed. I never heard anything from them, so assume that they realised that I wasn't a threat, but the experience was sobering. It never occurred to me that they'd attempt to follow me home. Sure, it could have been a coincidence, but when was the last time that you turned into dead end street, with only five houses in it, at 1am in the morning, to be immediately followed by a suspiciously acting car? Sure, the incident with the venue camera could have also been coincidental, but given my knowledge of photography and the video cameras in use I doubt that it was. Just as I know a tank gun barrel is pointed at my own, so too do you get the same feel, when one of these giant machines is similarly aimed. Its hard to explain, but it is like you can see right down the barrel. To this day, I'm glad that I made such an effort to make sure that nobody else came along with me. If, like Factboy, I wasn't such a damned skeptic, I could very well have fallen down the Hinn rabbit hole along with so many of the other attendees.

Those guys are a shame to most Christians, and it is too bad that we are not the main critics of these people

Now I understand your staying in Czech Republic. Glad you are here, hope you enjoy it.

There's enough material on Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker to do a 1 ½ to 2 hour Casual Criminalist episode., about the Heritage USA time share scam, the Jessica Hahn assault and subsequent payoff, and the embezzlement of PTL funds. With the air-conditioned doghouse being a highlight. And the feud with Jerry Falwell after he refused to give back PTL to the Bakkers. You should look into that.

Simon's Televangelist impression was spot on.

God I love Simon's cold read style channels 😂 love his little bashes on whatever is going on (poor goofy Oral)

One of my adds during this vid was for an apocalypse supply company. The algorithm has figured out irony it seems.

My mom loves telling the story about having a tiny role in a Tim Curry movie from the 80s called Pass the Ammo about a crooked televangelist. Apparently it came out right around the time the Bakkers’ scandals were huge news, and according to my mom, everyone was sick of the story by then (even though it wasn’t about the Bakkers) and the film flopped. I haven’t actually seen the movie, but I’m guessing that wasn’t the only reason it failed, it doesn’t look particularly good lol. (And in case anyone was curious, my mom said that Tim Curry was an absolutely lovely guy, always polite and friendly, never acted like he was better than anyone else even though he was the biggest name there. Just wanted to share that tidbit for any other Tim Curry fans! 🥰)

I just love how sassy Simon gets in Brain Blaze episodes. The only line is don't get sued. Everything else is free game. Including mocking in the best ways.

Love this!

I remember the 2nd 'Fletch' movie - 'Fletch Lives' where he tackles a Televangelist.. On a similar vane to the Jimmy & Tammy 'Religious theme park idea'. Twas... VERY FUNNY... Chevy Chase was brilliant in those movies! 👌 😎🇬🇧

It’s so wild that it’s even legal to scam people out of money like that. Maybe it’s because I’m not American but I really can’t wrap my head around it. I was raised Catholic in Ireland and if someone told me they (and Jesus) could cure my disabilities with prayers and donations I would laugh in their face.

I will say that while Jim Baker remains (allegedly) a prime specimen of pond scum, Tammy Faye appears to have been a genuinely warm and compassionate woman who, following the collapse of PTL embraced and was embraced by the LGBT community who remain fond of her to this day, even after her passing. even when the show was still on the air, she used her platform to bring attention to the AIDS crisis - to the horror and dismay of the cast and crew who refused to allow one guest (I can't recall his name) to be physically present on set so they had to conduct the interview remotely, simply because he was a gay man with AIDS.

Alright... right away A++++++++++++++++++++++++ for the thumbnail pic edit.... whoever in the basement helped with it, Thank You Greatly!

Personally, I'm a follower of the Rev. Billy Soul from Del Rio, TX (Cheech and Chong 1970"s). Rev Soul was a radio faith healer who said that to be healed all you had to do "was place your hand on the radio and say, "I believe, Brother Billy, I believe" and you will be healed. Brother Billy never asked for a donation because this was a comic parody of the tell evangelical movement of the 1960's 1970's. As to Oral Roberts, he was a charismatic preacher of the 1970's. He established the Oral Roberts University. When the University ran into money problems, he retreated to his prayer tower and told the world that God would call him on if he did not raise enough money. He raised the money, but the stunt ruined him. The University went bankrupt.

Faith healers are especially despicable, which I can say from experience. My mother used to really believe in that stuff. My brother was born with a major mental disability, and I have had physical health issues all my life. Once, she insist we got this preacher to pray over us. Even as a kid, I knew these folks were greedy charlatans, but knew better than to argue. Let the poor woman have some false hope. While I can't recall the exact words, he basically implied that our illness was punishment for something *she* did... and boy did that get me mad. I am a fairly slow to anger person. I can handle being insulted all day, and will barely care. How the fuck did he think that was okay? Never before or since have a felt mad enough to actually get violent. Probably would've punched him if it would've have upset my mother further. (who was already crying uncontrollably). My brother is so mentally disabled, he had no understanding of what was going on. Managed to wheel myself out of there without making any more of a scene. I can certainly imagine it would be a funny viral video. 'Crippled child punches preacher during sermon' or some such... I still feel mad about, to be honest.

I think I can give this a thumbs up based on the title alone.

Simon, can we please get a Brain Blaze style news show from you? Like, set the writers loose from the basement (Sam will unfortunately have to stay behind) and have them collect various news stories from around the world.

As someone who lived in the most Ohioan, Ohio suburb. I grew up living next to an elderly couple, who were just a yuppy happy and Christian. Until their house got foreclosed, and I asked their son who visited them the next day, what happened? He told me, sadly his parents had given almost all of what they had to some tv pastor, and they were living on their social security funds, but it wasn’t enough to keep the house. One year later, there was an ambulance in front of the house, from what I heard the elderly lady woke up and saw her husband deceased. I asked the son again what really happened, and he said his father would drink a case of beer every night while watching these pastors all night. While he wasn’t allowed to drink at all, since he had health issues. Therefore, he drank himself to death in the name of Jesus.

Kenneth Copeland, according to Wikipedia, is worth $770 million (at least in 2022). Pat Robertsons net worth is 100 million, Joel Olsteen, who Simon didn’t talk about, has a net worth of over 50 million and his church takes in an average of 43 million a year and he also has his book sales. I bet most of the people that donate to these idiots make less than 50k a year.

🎉You guys could do a part 2 on this topic

Yep. I grew up in an evangelical family, my dad did construction and was a part time pastor. This was Book of Acts style with exorcisms, speaking in tongues, preaching on the streets and laying on hands for healing. I believed it, was indoctrinated 100%. Kenneth Copland, the Bakers, Pat Roberson and kids Christian programs was on the tv and we were not allowed to listen to music that wasn’t Christian based. We went to church multiple times per week and my parents spent all their spare income on evangelizing and helping church efforts. When I realized it wasn’t true was when nothing that was prophesied over me turned out like the prophecies. I also noticed people were never actually healed. They would go up for prayer and the pastor would claim 100% healing. The next week they would be back and un healed. They would pray for more faith so they can be healed. A lot of them died and it was “Gods way of healing them because now they have a new body in heaven.” I noticed that faith didn’t work the way the Bible says and the biblical science is what people thought about the earth and stars at that time before we knew it wasn’t flat, with a glass dome with widows to let in the rai. They thought Space was water because rain comes out of the sky, on pillars and the earth is billions of years old. I read that as an adult and just couldn’t get my brain to accept it anymore. If you think about the atonement side of it we’re talking crazy talk. Blood magic rituals with an Uno Reverse where God sacrifices his son to us. Where before (Judaism) it was always us sacrificing to God. I just don’t believe great grandma eating an apple makes me guilty of anything because I’m related to her. Generational guilt is a crazy idea. So is eternal torture for not believing the story. The sole criteria for salvation is gullibility. Doesn’t matter how bad you have been, if you just believe (in Jesus) you will be saved. Doesn’t matter how good you are either. If you don’t believe you’re an unbeliever who’s going to be tortured for eternity for unbelief. I say if any person is asking for 10% of your paycheck and promising a reward after death. Is probably a scam. You should be extremely skeptical.

This is the most hilarious episode that you've ever done. Two thumbs up. 😂

as an Aussie I laughed out loud when heard god hates Australia. Problem was it was 6 in the morning. Look at our stats and you can see most of us hate his guts too. lmao

There used to be signs up all over my county about a faith healer. "Cures autism!" Was one of the bold claims. One of the last ones I saw before they were taken down said he had a RU-vid channel.😂😂

Dayyyymn, I f'king LOVE Simon! Watching his take on this particular brand of insanity is a dream come true for me! I'll be watching this video dozens of times! Whenever I need a good hearty belly laugh! "WTF"?! ---Simon🤣😂

Just popped to say I unequivocally agree with Dave!

2¹⁹And the writers in the Blazement knew that long intros are properly dangerous, yet they persisted in their folly. ²⁰The tangents became legion so they prayed to the neon sign for deliverance but the sign remained unlit. ²¹They would nevertheless learn to embrace their creatively bankrupt ways. ²²The Algorithm looked down upon them with benevolence. -- The book of Eta 2.19-22

Okay okay. I’m visually impaired as well, and have had similar experiences as Dave with people saying if I dedicate myself to god, my blindness will be cured. Also, in some countries, some people see blindness as a gift from god to be honored. I stopped trying to understand a very long time ago. 😂

When I was in the Navy, I had a Pettu Office, who I would not recommend for trash collector. I got an letter from the PTL about him working for them. I gave him a glowing recommendation.

*The worst thing is when laws are made and pushed on to people who don't even believe. it's a separation of church and state for a reason*

Oh nooooooo! Dave has actually experienced the thing that I can't decide would be my worst nightmare or best day of my life. It would depend on how up to a fight I felt that day.

Not to mention one of the worlds most history changing faith healer, Gregori Rasputin.

Love your work... After this documentary I love you too.

This is so good

Benny Hinn is also the guy that can take down a room full people just by waving his coat.

When you go broke giving the preacher all your money and he drives right past you in his new car......that's when you realize that Carlin was right.

Time to play "Send Me Your Money" by ST and "Jesus He Loves Me" by Genesis. Best video this year from Simon.

I so need the context of the guy yelling "god hates Australia"😂
