The Non-Prophets, Episode 22.38.2 featuring Kelley Laughlin, Infidel64, The Cross Examiner and Jimmy Jr.
Nebraska preacher Hank Kunneman's latest fundraising twist involves an urgent plea to buy land for his ministry, claiming divine guidance. Initially seeking $3 million dollars within a week, Kunneman later backpedaled, citing divine advice that the purchase wasn't necessary.
This abrupt change left many wondering about his true intentions. Some may find this tale amusing, but it's a concerning example of religious grifting, with Kunneman's congregation potentially being taken advantage of for his financial gain.
Hank’s message seemed to be keep on believing what I say, don’t let your eye’s and brains deceive you. If it appears I am wrong, god is testing you. Just keep giving! Makes you wonder what he spikes the communion wine with. Why do people accept this kind of thing from religious leaders? Would they accept it from their friends, or siblings, or their employer?
How is it that his congregation doesn't figure this out as the scam that it is? Do his followers really think he is anointed by God even after he’s been wrong so many times?
Does God really care who buys what real estate? Does God care about political and economic borders?
God even gives his prophecies with right-wing propaganda baked directly in. Beware those Chinese and their conniving ways, being used by the devil to buy our land. Does God also hate the Chinese like a good part of his right wing followers do?
Did god change his mind, or was he just wrong? One thing is for sure, some very desperate and mentally abused people who have obviously suffered some harsh indoctrination or feel like they have no other options, have given a lot of money to a con artist.
What kind of real estate deal was SO BAD that even God couldn’t fix it? Was there an open gate to Hell on the property or something like that preventing the deal from going through? Just can’t imagine what kind of problem there was with the property that even God couldn’t fix it. Did it have a bunch of old rusty iron chariots littered all over it?
Why couldn’t god just help them through their plight instead of using a repeat grifter to collect money, then change his mind on a ground-breaking and imperative real-estate deal? We all know what was wrong with the property, it was more money than Kunneman was unable to raise in time.
Hank’s connection to god seems a bit faulty. He has spouted all sorts of untrue predictions. Bad election prophesy seems to be his personal forte. Hank’s rendition of the Christian god being played by Loki the trickster god is mind-boggling.
God routinely changes his mind in Hank world. His god does things just create doubt, then he piles more doubt on top. He wants you to fail. Hank’s god is about as decisive as a 3 year-old in a candy store.
This is honestly just sad, terribly unfortunate and reflects the worst of us as people - those who become predators target the weak and vulnerable; which is how religion thrives.
