Bet he didn’t leave his millions to any poor people or worthy charities. My comfort is Jerry Lee is laughing his ass off playing “Great Balls of Fire” as Jimmy’s escorted to Hell.
It’s amazing to me how easily led the ignorant humans are. Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Jones, and the most evil of all, Donald John Trump. His Billionaire Bootlickers’ Bill, as you call it,
When he was at his peak*, I saw part of his TV show. He had a panel of "experts" to discuss and denounce "Darwinism." After a minute or so, I realized that they were discussing Lamarckian evolution, NOT the actual modern science.
*Given his later scandals, perhaps I should say his "peek."
I enjoyed this article. I grew up during earlier years of televangelists so am familiar with all mention. But I loved the last sentence!! So disgustingly true.
It’s as if non believers with malice could just pretend to care. Imagine if a politician might do that, we might really be in some hot water. Thank you John.
Well said John! As Christopher Hitchens wrote, "... you can get away with anything if you have “Reverend” in front of your name."

Is an anti Christian abomination.
Nice summation. Interesting he and pedophile Jerry Lee were cousins.
Amen.
Reminds me of a 1980's film - "Repo Man"
Until this week, I thought he was already dead.
Good riddance to bad rubbish
Jimmy Swaggart brought us Mango Mussolini hawking a Bible made in China as the poster boy for breaking all of the Ten Commandments.
Sadly true. And tele-evangelist grifters are still all over radio and TV, sucking millions away from fellow haters. It is a poisonous disease.

I'm glad that Pat Robertson of "gays have rings to scratch you with an AIDS covered needle" fame got a mention." 🙄 Now they're running the country.
