God will make you rich, your ex-wife gets half

Our long time nemesis Benny Hinn had his wife just file for divorce.

"ORANGE, Calif. – The wife of televangelist Benny Hinn has filed for divorce from the high-profile pastor, whose reputation as an advocate of prosperity gospel has attracted millions of followers and criticism from lawmakers and watchdog groups over his lavish lifestyle.

Suzanne Hinn filed the papers in Orange County Superior Court on Feb. 1, citing irreconcilable differences, after more than 30 years of marriage. The papers note the two separated on Jan. 26 and that Hinn has been living in Dana Point, a wealthy coastal community in southern Orange County."

Of special interest is that his wife filed for divorce in California, a no-fault divorce state, so she is likely to get half of everything. I wonder how he is going to fit that into his health & wealth theology? As much as I'd like to point and say "Ha Ha" with my finest Nelson Muntz impression, half of a huge pile of ill-gotten money is still a lot of ill-gotten money. But if I know conservative Evangelicals, his followers will suddenly start closing their wallets over this. We can only hope.

On a side note: This blog has been languishing for awhile. At first it was a technical glitch, and then we just ran out of ways to mock tithing churches. Self-parody eventually takes the fun out of parody, and after awhile you just stop caring. But I couldn't pass on a story that smacked of poetic justice. With that said, I go back into the void…

    You could be onto something. He, i mean the Big HE, must be up to something! It’s like all the imperialistic walls built by human hands are tumbling down, one by one.

    Yeah, I’m with you on that. I have really enjoyed seeing what this site has to offer. I am glad that it has been revived!

  3. California community property law…anything acquired during marriage is presumed to be 50% owned be each spouse, including the earnings of the other spouse. Unless they had a pre-nup she’s going to get a lot of money. Gotta love this state!
