Yeah, that's the evil part.. some denominations wave their hands chalk it up to God's will, which may or may not be sufficient explanation but is at least benign enough.. But to tell someone suffering from cancer (or that can't conceive a baby, or crippled by depression, etc) that they're not being healed because they don't have enough faith, or they lost their healing because of sin, is just evil. It really is.

I actually went to a Benny Hinn meeting at the Saddledome years ago, didn't even get into the dome, was in the overflow seating with the TV.

The people that were there... the "this is my last hope" expressions, hope mixed with despondency, totally heart wrenching, and the meeting, totally evil.
