    I'm not asking the question because I have an answer to it. I'm looking for an answer.

    What happened to those good old clean movies like "It's a Wonderful Life" with (as I recall) Humphrey Bogart? I'm not saying movies should be banned. But it is possible to make a movie without influencing kids in such a way that they all learn how to swear by age 5.

    Maybe not the best answer, but God is the most common name to swear with since I would think that almost 80% of the world if not more would have heard of the name "God" in some way, whereas the name of saints or deity of other religions are not as widespread.

    i was working!!
    omg benny hinn is a SCAM..he made like 2 million...from donations and like selling books and cd's and stuff!! CON ARTIST...he takes CREDIT CARDS for donation during the service!! like WTFFF SCAMM and he DOES NOT heal ppl
     
  6. Dont worry about the scamming, if anything, pray for him, afterall; he's gona have to stand before God and explain what he was doing with God' money. i wouldn't like to be in Mr. hinn' shoes, thats for sure.

    so if you were working that means you wouldn't know whether he heals people or not, eh?? -huh haha.

    and how do you know about the credit cards and everything? as for the healing i think it takes faith. do you have? :p
