Title: Ohio evangelist promises "miraculous" AIDS cure
Post by: TehBorken on Apr 07 06 04:58
 [h3 style="text-align: left;"]          Ohio evangelist promises "miraculous" AIDS cure to Lesotho's poor         [/h3][div style="text-align: left;"] An American evangelical franchise is plastering posters around the poorest areas of Lesotho, promising "miraculous" cures for AIDS. Headed by Ohio-based preacher Ernest Angley, the flyers effectively equate "salvation" with medical treatment, which is much harder to come by for Africa's poor. Not such a rare thing, but it's interesting to see it documented by Paul, a blogger/aid worker in Lesotho: [blockquote](//vny!://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1905/755/400/angley.jpg)
This kind of thing isn't generally that destructive in the United States. The preacher claims to cure your cancer, you go see your doctor the next day, take a few tests, and you can verify the claim. If the miracle is a fake, nothing is lost. But in Maseru, people have more faith, and the word of an American preacher may be as good as the word of a doctor. Especially when the preacher says you are healed, and the doctor's solution is to prescribe you medicine for the rest of your life. [/p]So if Mr. P___ goes to see Mr. Angley, and hears that he is healed, maybe he will believe. Maybe he will believe, and, in an act of faith, stop taking his medicine. Maybe he will get sick three weeks later, and get tested again, discovering that he still has HIV. Except during his three week hiatus from the medicine, the HIV has developed resistance. And now he has HIV, and thanks to Mr. Angley, the meds no longer work.

Please pardon the language, but what an absolute bastard he is.  If a believer is told he has been cured, he will feel it is alright to establish sexual connections.  Praise the Lord and pass it on!

Ernest Angley. Jesus mother f*cking Christ.
 
 One of the all time greats.   (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/18.gif)  (//forums/richedit/smileys/Teasing/15.gif)
 
 The funniest thing about him was about 20 years ago when the Germans arrested him for witchcraft.
 
 What makes him exquisite and dangerous in equal parts is that one gets the impression that he actually believes himself.
