“What color is your aura? Nonexistant? Mine too.”

This fraudulent televangelist (aren't they all?) was exposed nearly 2 decades ago by James Randi. Despite his exposure he is back at his game of making money off of idiots.

What would you bet that he urinates in every tenth bottle of "Miracle Spring Water" while shouting "The power of Christ flows through me!" ;-D

I think one of the reasons that certain believers in God lose their faith (and one reason why certain atheists mock believers in God) is the notion that prayer is going to result in immediate, concrete, earthly help. It doesn't work that way; I, for one, have never thought that it did. Believing in God / praying to God does not mean that bad things won't happen to you or that you will get what you ask for promptly (or at all).

The woman who got hoodwinked by Popoff seemed to have this same sort of "God is a helicopter I can call and He'll come right down to rescue us" view, except instead of just praying she threw money as well.

BTW: Randi FTW. (He reminds me of somebody, not sure who though.)

Job security for James Randi and others motivated enough to expose this crap:

Fraudulent Televangelist == redundant

some ARE entertaining though. Jack van Impe predicts the imminent end of the age nearly every night, and if you can get 1980's tapes of Dr. Gene Scott's broadcasts you'll be in for a treat - he was a fabulous, eccentric storyteller.
