INFIDELIS MAXIMUS: Flimflamboyant Benny Hinn Exposed

CBN' The Fifth Estate did a bang-up job recently of exposing con artist-cum-televangelist Benny Hinn. Check out the episode link here, which links the entire documentary.

Salus

I write this blog as a hobby and to try my hand at different types of writing. I spent many years lost in Christianity, and I want to help as many as possible avoid making the mistakes I made. I also believe the world is a better place when people live reason-based lives. I don’t have an ax to grind, but I am sickened by the corrosive effect of religion on the world, particularly the hate inspired by fundamentalist belief systems. I’m more acerbic here than I would normally be because, well, it’s fun, and I think the PC response to religion has failed miserably. If this blog seems a bit polemical, it’s entirely intentional.

Disclaimer: This is a blog; it is not a book or a research paper. I write it when I have time, and that is often not until the middle of the night. Believe it or not, I actually have a life outside of giving away my work for free on the web. By definition, blogs are stream-of-consciousness affairs. The pieces I write for this blog were never intended for formal publication. They aren’t reviewed by anyone prior to going out, they may contain unsubstantiated claims, and they may (egads!) even contain a few errors. I try as hard as the next blogger to avoid flaws in what I write, but I do not have time to write with the same care I might take when writing a book. Feel free to email me if you have general suggestions about how to improve this blog.

About the Latin

For those who actually speak or read Latin, take note that the use of what I’d call “Faux Latin” here is intentional. I sometimes use the wrong Latin term for a section so that people who don’t know Latin can still guess what it is (e.g., “Index Topica” for the topical index). The motif here is one of an old illuminated manuscript with some Latin and medieval elements mixed in for effect, but the blog still has to be navigable by English-only readers. If you hover your mouse over any of the Latin terms on the page, the English equivalent will display in a pop-up hint. You can also click many of them to drill into their meaning elsewhere on the net.
