I caught an episode of Ernest Angley Ministries while in Florida last weekend. Unbelievable. The one I saw had a "curing deafness" theme. God works in mysterious ways, but God's servants have managed to add an assembly-line quality to miracle-making:
1) Have "deaf" people walk up to you.
2) Say a few words of prayer, put your hands on their faces, then shout loudly. Much like the way you'd scare the hiccups out of a friend.
3) Proclaim to the audience that they've just seen a miracle. That's all the proof this crowd needs, apparently.
One guy, who was only deaf in one ear, was asked how much better he could hear. "A little, I think." Wrong answer. Satan was involved, we were told. And then Angley smacked the doubter in the forehead. This was wild TV.
Here's a great back-and-forth between people who will leave all their money to Ernest and people who will forever ridicule them.

Religion - ALL religion - is BULLSHIT.
Written mostly by dead white men (a few jews here and there, and a couple of Muslims too), it portrays a "god' as this loving non-terrestrial creature, benevolent, a know-it-all who tell you thew rules, then has the audacity to claim to 'love' you while telling you that if you are not part of the pack (gay, a woman, or anything else inferior) you are not worthy to walk around in this 'god's' circle and if you stray one inch from his rules, you go to HELL.
Ask our two recent Supreme Court nominees. They are going to HELL for listeing to their god - Bush - before listening to Casper the friendly ghost and saying that they WILL take away a woman's fundamental right to get a legal abortion???
Is this idol worship when they bow down and suck his cock like this in front of all of us like that?
Well?
ALL religion sucks.
We had this wanker on TV in South Africa telling people to reach out and touch the TV so that they can be cured of AIDS.
Not only is he a fraud he is a dangerous s#$%head.
PS. The thing I remember most about him is those huge F%$#ing earlobes.
Wow. If we were writing a movie about a crazy televangelist, and you said, "Let's have the guy ask people to touch their TVs, thereby curing them of AIDS," I'd have dismissed it as too implausible.
We need to infiltrate one of his "sermons." Go in complaining of hearing loss, and let Angley do his Emeril-esque "BAM!" cure. Instead of praising Jesus for the miracle, however, our mole will start complaining that he can't see. Or smell. Perhaps we'll have him collapse. Now that would be compelling television.
A Big Happy Hello,
I've attended hundred's of Ernest Angley Miracle services over the year's. Yes, I have recieved many miracles while attending.
Jesus made it real simple. Even a child can understand. "ONLY BELIEBVE" In fact you must come as a child, teachable and willing to learn. You cannot dictate to God how you want HIM to heal you.
ONLY BELIEBVE! JEEBUS SAVES!
