None of them! How dare you criticise these great men of God such as Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Baker, Jerry Falwell, Ted Haggard, Oral and Richard Roberts, Pat Robertson, Benny Hinn, Paul Crouch, etc. etc.
These guys have more of God's testosterone in the tip of their little pinky than you have in both of your shrivled little prune sacks.

Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell.
After 9/11, Jerry Falwell blamed the attacks on the ACLU, pagans, feminists, abortionists, gays, lesbians, People for the American Way (Norman Lear) and liberals.
Full quote:
September 2001: Falwell blames Americans for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. “The abortionists have got to bear some burden for this because God will not be mocked. And when we destroy 40 million little innocent babies, we make God mad. I really believe that the Pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say, ‘You helped this happen.’”

Hello,
Sorry. I have a toss up for two here:
1)Jimmy Swaggart for his hypocrisy and even worse, his hilarious confession.
2) And the Ho of Babylon may not be the Church of Rome but Tammy Faye with all her makeup and dog house mansion whose ministry fleeced the flocks and did more harm than anything. She fits that bill better.
Cheers,
Michael Kelly

I would say Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker did the most harm. They built this big religious empire and then it all crumbled before them in scandals of sex, drugs and money. That was probably the worst single incident. Over a course of time I would say the Oral Roberts family. Oral's plea that if people didn't send him like 8 million dollars he would die. Then just recently his son and his wife's scandal at the university which resulted in his son resigning his post in disgrace. The saga with them still continues.

Gee, it's sort of a toss up between Joseph Smith, and Charles Taze Russell. Both lead many people astray.

Pat Robertson - still is. He regularly makes George W seem intelligent and sane by comparison. Quite a feat.

Oral Roberts. He never got caught with his trousers down like several of his contemporaries, but the whole "900-foot Jesus" thing was a new low in religion exploiting the ignorant... and that's saying something.

I'm an atheist, but I find Benny Hinn very entertaining.

Rex Humbard invented telemarketing.
Seems evil to me every time they call when I'm asleep or at dinner.
