Turns out there’s a wikipedia page featuring a list of high-profile evangelist scandals as far back as the 1920s. It’s a fascinating collection of felonies, rank hypocrisy, con artistry, extramarital affairs, and sexual misconduct. How is it that so many people continue to put their trust in men and women like these in the face of so much evidence that so many of them are nothing but two-bit crooks gone big-time?
Could it be related to the same lack of reasoning that led them to accept the invisible sky fairy to begin with?
