Some of you are familiar with my disdain for certain evangelical TV “preachers”. I loathe the phoniness and unethical practices of people such as Paul and Jan Crouch, Rod Parsley, Paula White, and of course Benny Hinn just to name a few. Their practice of taking money for salvation is a joke; unfortunately it is the finances of innocent people that is the punch line.
If you check my left sidebar you will see a grouping that deals with TBN, the Trinity Broadcast Network. I had gone on an anti-evangelical tirade a little while back. I was amused when I saw that folks from TBN, Parsley’s World Harvest Church, and Benny Hinn Ministries were checking out my site. I said nothing of it, but was privately amused. But now, things have changed and Matt-Man is calling them out. It’s GO TIME!!
While looking at my site stats yesterday, I came across this info on one of my visitors:

That’s right folks, Benny Hinn is back. Now, I don’t know what made him return. Was it the fact that I mentioned Henny Youngman yesterday? Or was it because he’s a fan of the old Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and Googled “wayback machine”? Actually I guess it’s neither, because there is no referrer. So, guess what that means…The Matt-Man is on Benny Hinn’s list of favorite Blogs!!! Who’d a thunk it!? Benny digs Bagwine, or does he? Maybe he is performing not-so-covert surveillance upon me. Maybe he has it out for me. Listen Hinn, you wanna piece of me? Huh? Do Ya!? Well bring it on.
I challenge you to a boxing match of biblical proportions. Anytime, anywhere. Hell, we can hold it in the Holy Land. “Matt-Man vs. Benny: Gettin’ Gruesome in Jerusalem”…We can make a few bucks (which I know you’re not averse to) by having the fight promoted by Don King of Kings. I can hear it now, “In this corner from Grapevine, Texas and the realm of the Supernatural, Benny “I know me, and those close to me know me. But sadly, the outside world thinks I'm some kind of a crook.” Hinnnnnnn. And in this corner, from Bagwine, Ohio, Matt “The Iron Liver” Mannnnnnn.
It has possibilities Benny. We could even use Rod Parsley as the ring announcer. Despite the big head and ears, Rod does have that slick, sleazy, third rate lounge singer look. I’ll even let him throw Miracle Anointing Cloths to the crowd. You may want to have one in your corner as well, because I could beat the be-jeezus out of you, although granted, there probably isn’t much Jesus to beat out of ya. Ha…If you want to do this, see if Paul and Jan Crouch will broadcast it on TBN, just for that night we’ll call it the Trinity Boxing Network.
Oh, one thing you may want to keep in mind. There’s only going to be one judge for the fight and that’s God, so you may want make certain which of us he will judge more favorably before you hop in the ring with me. My prediction KO by Matthew Chapter 7 Verse 15. Boo Yah!!
Note: If you have the time folks (and that includes you, Hinn) please nominate me for Best New or Best Humor Blog for the annual Bloggie awards you can nominate my site by clicking HERE. Thanks and Cheers!!

Done did the nominatin' of ya, buddy. Don't normally bother with those dere dings, but since ya asked, I did ya the favor.
You know, Matt, you could take 'em all. After all, the one thing they fear the worst is a Catholic, even a fallen away one!
I'll be your wingman (practicing Catholic that I am) -- let me know, and with ya!
How apropo that you would beat him from by the Book of Matthew. ;)
One thing I'd be interested to see is if a good face stomping would do anything to change that hairdo of his.
Songbird: I truly appreciate the nomination and the Vatican's support, HA....I hope the aura around your home improves very soon, my friend.
Allie: Benny may have a glass jaw, but I know damn well that his hair has to have the strenght and properties of steel reinforced concrete!!
Aw come on--one look at that hair tells you ---he's a FOS fan!
And this very lapsed 'lic will be happy to have have your back in this endeavor
Holy Crap TB, it is indeed FOS hair!! I will be so torn when I go to lay a right CROSS on him. Lapsed Catholicism is a denomination unto itself, thanks.
I'll help too! It's the hair alone that makes me want to shoot it or sompin.
Peace
Thanks Odat we'll mess it up n-shit.
Now see I just had to be all cheeky and come play with your monkey.
Woo Hoo I now have have one happy monkey TB...I tried to comment on your second post but it was being mean to mean!!
YAY! Did you mention somewhere that "some" of those people who like to nominate you are not in need to get a blog for their own =)
Just a valid email address...
Of 'we' nominated you...where would 'we' be without our daily dose of Matt-man!
Depressed and standing on the edge of a bridge, for sure.
;)
It is the return of the Sydney opera house hairdo. Can I vote for you multiple times? I am from NY ya know.
OK, I nominated you as well!
Do you think we could get the match between you and Benny on Pay per View?
Sanni: I did not but you just did!! Thanks for the tip you wacked out crack addict, you.
Wendz: Thanks so much, I nominated several as well including you!! One thing some people get depressed and stand on the side of a bridge AFTER reading my posts.
Adav: HA...Perfect comparison. Why sure you can vote adav no matter where you are.
Raven: Ah Raven my fellow Buckeye, Thank You. PPV indeed, live from Quicken Arena.
One more question...What's with that guy's hair? It looks like one of those snow over hangs you see in the mountains when they tell you it's an avalanche zone.
HA good one...I guess it's just a divinely inspired do, Raven.
OOOOO Being harrassed by TV preachers... Matt-man.. you have made it dude!
Oh, and already nominated you
Thanks Bond....Likewise.
Hey I know a man who knows a man with a direct line to god... oh, he only thinks he's god Murdock. Can get you a direct fox deal on this one. Only US rights though. Your Global audiance would love to see you, but no one outside of the US knows who Hinn is...
To not know Hinn is to displease God...Repent Now!!
Love the post--hate HIS hair!
Of course you're nominated. Did you have to ask? :-)
Thanks Lizza, Likewise!!
