		<description>Regardless of the cause, I think you're right on with the statement that those attending Lakeland are desperate for healing. I've been watching a truncated version of the GodTV broadcast on the Miracle Channel, and I'm always taken aback when they pan the audience. The expressions on their face, their posture, their evident fervor - is stunning. That's why these 'revivals' happen - because people want it so bad. 

Which makes the work of the false profits leading them on all the more heinous.</description>

		<description>Tim:

How should I have said it?

If you look at Bentley's early Cdn meetings, they appear to me to be far more about 'impartation, evangelism and prophecy' - not as much about healing.

		<description>DeBeauxOs:

Good question -  I don't know.

If he believes staying home makes a personal statement on human rights, that makes sense - as for making a Canadian statement - a high level delegation attending rather negates it.

I wonder if his decision has to do with Asian-Canadian and conservative votes, I can't see Harper putting human rights above his own political ambition, staying away would impress sectors of his base.</description>

		<description>"(47 million people in the US have no health insurance, many more have problems with their health insurers), faith healers are often the only option left since medical care isn’t accessible."

You seem to be doing an admirable job reporting on the charlatan, Bentley. But then you do some serious misleading yourself with the quote above, giving no context, whatsoever. First, the majority of the uninsured are due to "structural unemployment"(going from one job to another). Second, by law, everyone has access to healthcare by any hospital they walk into. Even if it's a runny nose in an emergency room(medicare among other govt programs). Third, you made it seem as if the terminally ill or handicapped will be cured if only they did have access to healthcare(which they all do). Does that mean there are no terminally ill or handicapped in Canada because you have socialized healthcare?</description>

		<description>So, that's how the PZ Meyers blog post that displayed the death threat ended.  It is terrible that this woman lost her employment, but it's worse that she is married to a sociopath.

On another topic .... what's your opinion about Stephen Harper refusing to attend the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics?  I suspect that his purported absence-to-be is specifically intended as a message of support for Christian Evangelist missionaries who are routinely arrested in China.</description>
