Crouch stated that the Radio Telescope Ministry will operate as a subsidiary of his Trinity Broadcasting Network. He also said that the telescope will be used to broadcast some of the more popular shows from that network to about 100 stars within a radius of about 200 light years. It is expected that those shows will include Hinn's Miracle Crusades. Crouch says, "These, what we call aliens, are really God's children, and what better messenger than Benny Hinn to demonstrate the power of the Gospel to those folk."...

...Hinn says he believes that he will be earth's first emissary to an alien world. "As we were walking around the telescope praying over the property, breaking any curses that Satan may have placed upon that property because of the godless actions of atheist scientists, Jesus came to me. Jesus came to me and said, 'Benny, I am going to send you to the heavens.' Wow! Can you believe it? He told me that there is a planet a few dozen light years - that's the distance light travels in one year, that's a light year, and it's a long way. He said this planet, and he gave me the name, Zeta Reticuli, and I spoke to astronomers and they confirmed that there is a planet named that out there. Jesus said, 'I am going to send you there, and you are going to preach my glory.' I asked the Lord, how I was going to go there, and he said, 'Those space ships in Texas that people have been seeing, they're coming for you.'"

This has to be a joke, right?

This is dangerous. Such a signal could be used as a homing device by hostile advanced species.

After all the fleecing in recent years, this would not surprise me in the least if it were actually true.

Gotta admit, that's pretty close satire! I totally bought it for a few paragraphs.

Benny Hinn,

Benny Hinn -- do we really want aliens to think THAT guy is representative of humanity? I can just imagine a Vorlock saying "Krcz, these Gaiains are just insane, let's vaporise them before they infect the rest of the galaxy with their madness"

I had no idea things had gotten so bad for some they have to hunt aliens for church membership.
