Rod Parsley: Give Me Money And God Will Heal Your Baby's Brain Tumors

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Thursday, 8/27/2015 1:30 pm

During a recent “Receiving A Prophet’s Reward” special, conservative televangelist Rod Parsley shared the story of a woman who was informed by her doctors that her baby would be born with “more tumors in its brain than the doctors could even count.” However, by “sowing a seed” — giving an envelope of money to Parsley during a church service — Parsley reports that “she gave birth to a baby perfectly normal, not a single tumor anywhere to be found.”

1. Where's the corruption?

He's not taking payments to violate his principles.

Those ARE his principles.

2. They'll say anything to keep that cash flow positive

Religion has always attracted more than its fair share of conmen.

This is beneath contempt.

5. "Religion began when the first con man met the first fool."

7. Twain was a smart man, but I think it went like this:

It had been raining for a solid week and not only were the cave people short on food, being stuck in close quarters without exercise was taking a severe toll. One of the men went to the entrance and shook his fist at the sky, shouting "stop raining!" At that minute, the rain started to taper off and finally stop.

And thus the first priest came into existence.

3. Didn't work?

You should have given me more.

4. That piece of human sewage should be in jail for fraud

for the rest of his worthless, rotten, scum-sucking life.

6. Is there a limit? Somehow I don't think so.

I think these fake cult leaders have no soul or shame when it comes to making money to pay for their bills.

8. Rev. Parsley is slick as snot on the door nob, but

Rev. Dr. Mike Murdock is smoother than hot buttered rum. When I watch him playing the piano, I visualize him all laid back in his mansion, practicing his music, smoking a cigar and letting that hot buttered rum run down his gullet. We will know that we have freedom of religion as long as the fleecing artists are allowed to operate without government interference. There is nothing that can be done, as the victims would be the first to complain about interference to practice their religion. I tell my Christian friends who complain about their need for more cash to give themselves a raise by cutting out the churches and the preachers.
