As long as I’m in a religious mood… February 1, 2008

…I might as well post a link to my favorite YouTube video of all time.
(Well, if you don’t count videos with the phrase “cheerleader panties” in the search criteria.)
Here it is: Benny Hinn.
Now, regardless of what you believe, Benny Hinn is the most impressive faith healer I have ever seen. (And I’ve seen a few, folks. Watching televangelists has been one of my main hobbies my entire life long. When I was a teenager I used to do an imitation of Earnest Angley that just killed everyone at parties.) I mean, most require some kind of contact. Even Earnest used to ask us to put our hands on the TV screen. But Benny Hinn just waves his hand and entire rows of people fall. Sometimes (not in the above clip, I’m sorry to say) he completely surprises people, too. He suddenly turns around and waves his hand and the person just falls like they’re made of jello, and they weren’t even expecting to be next.
And while I don’t really think it’s God doing the knocking over, I also do not believe it’s faked by people. Benny Hinn waves his hand, and people—even entire rows of people—just black out.
He also does it with incredible style. He switches between Gandolph and Bruce Lee, one time flicking his arm like a magic staff and the next time sweeping his arm forward in a kung fu move. He shows great footwork, too.
Benny Hinn is simply the best at what he does since the invention of television.
It’s a power I neither envy nor admire, but I do respect it.
As for the video, it’s just one of the coolest ideas anyone ever had. I’ve watched it at least 20 times or more.
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!
