Let me be clear that I am not attacking Christians here. Supply-side Jesus is completely opposite to the Jesus that authentic Christians worship. Supply-side Jesus was invented to justify the Republican false gospel of hate, greed and racism for Republican Supply-side pseudo-Christians. Many practitioners of this obscenity prey on their congregants and promise miracles, but when Supply-side Jesus can’t cut it, and there is no miracle, guess whose fault it is.

One of the most sad and telling claims of so-called ‘faith healers’ from Benny Hinn to Todd Bentley is that the reason people are not healed at their healing conferences or through their television ministries is not because the faith healer wasn’t able to cure the ailment or sickness but because of the lack of faith of the person (and often the inadequate size of their financial gifts) who sought the healing. If only the person had genuine faith, so it goes, then the healing would’ve worked, so don’t blame the healer!

Today on the 700 Club [Theocons delinked], we saw an example of that when a viewer called in wondering why it is that when he prayed with Pat Robertson during his show for a healing of his knee pain the pain came back the next day. Robertson responded that people can “give up” his healings because “you don’t believe that it’s real” and never claimed the healing, “this is mine.”… [emphasis added]
