I hope it can stay on CH and not move to PWEC too fast so please try to not discuss faith itself, focus on faith healers.

Of course, I'm 100% sure other religions have their own frauds, and atheists are also targets (for atheists search james randi on YT), but I didn't see any debunking vid yet (if you have one about islam or judaism please share).

I ain't sure if I should be offended at the "huckster" comment, so I choose not to be.

The above quote is from OP, and still stands. I'd be very interested in seeing anything similar about judaism or islam, if anyone has any.

Crime has many avenues, religion is just one of them.

As for the "deeper" concept - both religious and atheist people have no idea what they're talking about.

Agnosticism is the only honest approach.

The truth is WE DO NOT KNOW. That's the fact of the matter, it's completely indisputable, and no "faith" in terms of EITHER "belief or disbelief" negates it.

Scientific facts are real whether or not you believe them. There is no scientific evidence to prove or disprove the existence of a deity.

I do find it interesting how a few hucksters here and there warrant a "To all Christians" topic header - and yet we are told to discount illegal and often violent actions of a few in a different religion as being something other than representative.

"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God." - John 3:19-21

There are some things that just don’t like the light, and at the top of the list are these four things: One cockroaches. Two, rats. Three, teenagers making out in a dark room, when a parent comes in and turns on the light. And four, a thief in the night. None of those four like the light. Why? Because the light says, “You’re up to no good!” So, obviously, there’s a tendency for roaches, rats, smooching teenagers, and thieves in the night to run for cover when the light comes on. They don’t want their deeds exposed.

Really, this is true for all of us. The closer we get to the Light, the more our sins are exposed. The closer a person is to Christ, the more aware they are of their sinfulness. The further a person is from Christ, the more unaware they are of their sinfulness and they tend to think that they’re basically pretty good people. So, when the Light exposes who they really are, they prefer to flee toward the darkness.

But there is good news in all of this. John 1:9 says, “There was the true light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man.” And 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness.” In other words, in Jesus, we are made clean – we don’t have to fear exposure. He is the Light that leads us into righteous living.

Donating and doing good works is not coming to the light. Exposing your heart, however, and all its ills so that those may see you for who you are, especially the Lord, is the only true choice one can make.

Why didn't I see the light of the Pearly Gate when I died twice?

Blind faith is dangerous. It is where the Jim Jones and David Koresh's come from. Don't just believe because someone told you that it's true.
