The televangelists I was studying say much the same things - Jimmy Swaggert, for one, who ought to be the last to throw around accusations given his record. This sort of stuff wouldn't be transmitted in the UK - i unfortunately it's part of the price the US pays for its right of free speech. Nevertheless, it's nauseating; the worst thing is the total certiainty of thesetypes that they know, they are right, they are the chosen ones, they're going ot be there at the right hand of God come Judgement Day and can speak on his behalf. It's a sort of mass delusion or megaomania but no less dangerous for all that.
