Hint #1: This person has actually worked in a "Nehru suit" very similar to the one that Doctor Evil wore.

Benny Hinn

Uncertainty may make you uncomfortable. Certainty makes you ridiculous.

Why not question something for a change?

Benny Hinn
Yes, that's right! Congratulations, KIl! Benny Hinn is one of the absolutely worst of the scamming, faith-healing preachers, As a prophet, Hinn is of the wildly false variety, having at least twice predicted an end of the world that didn't happen. He's also a bigot who has gleefully forecast he demise of all US gays and lesbians. Didn't happen. And the death of Fidel Castro also did not occur in the 1990'a as Hinn prophesied.

According to Wiki:
At Hinn's Miracle Crusades, he has allegedly healed attendees of blindness, deafness, cancer, AIDS, and severe physical injuries
Not surprisingly, Hinn faked those miracles, too.

Benny Hinn is even looked at askance by many evangelicals. Ministry Watch released a warning not to give him money:
MinistryWatch.com calls upon donors to prayerfully consider withholding contributions to Benny Hinn Ministries/World Outreach Church (BHM) in
response to facts and allegations regarding reports that Hinn:
• Lives a lavish lifestyle with funds intended for charitable purposes;
• Preaches a self-serving prosperity theology message;
• Manipulates individuals at “healing crusades” for personal gain;
• Makes unsubstantiated claims of healings;
• Is nontransparent and lacks independent board oversight.

. . .
In 2006, CBS exposed Hinn's especially foul brand of fakery in a broadcast:
In November 2004, the CBC Television show The Fifth Estate did a special titled "Do You Believe in Miracles" on the apparent transgressions committed by Benny Hinn's ministry.[3] With the aid of hidden cameras and crusade witnesses, the producers of the show demonstrated Benny's apparent misappropriation of funds, his fabrication of the truth, and the way in which his staff chose crusade audience members to come on stage to proclaim their miracle healings.[3] In particular, the investigation highlighted the fact that the most desperate miracle seekers who attend a Hinn crusade—the quadriplegics, the brain-damaged, virtually anyone with a visibly obvious physical condition—are never allowed up on stage; those who attempt to get in the line of possible healings are intercepted and directed to return to their seats. At one Canadian service, hidden cameras showed a mother who was carrying her Muscular Dystrophy-afflicted daughter, Grace, being stopped by two screeners when they attempted to get into the line for a possible blessing from Benny. The screeners asked the mother if Grace had been healed, and when the mother replied in the negative, they were told to return to their seats; the pair got out of line, but Grace, wanting "Pastor Benny to pray for [her]", asked her mother to support her as she tried to walk as a show of "her faith in action", according to the mother. After several unsuccessful attempts at walking, the pair left the arena in tears, both mother and daughter visibly upset at being turned aside and crying as they explained to the undercover reporters that all Grace had wanted was for Benny to pray for her, but the staffers rushed them out of the line when they found out Grace had not been healed.[3]
