Have you seen the farting preacher? If you have, then you’ve seen Robert Tilton, one of the more infamous (not to mention kookier) televangelists out there. Despite being overshadowed by the likes of Swaggart and Falwell, Tilton had a special blend of wackiness all his own, based heavily on “prosperity gospel” teachings.

For example, check out this kit that he sent out to someone who called his prayer line. Not only did they get this life-size poster of Tilton squinting really hard and presenting his “Miracle Point of Contact,” but they also got some “Prayer of Agreement Miracle Oil,” a handy dandy chart to help you get off on the good foot, and the promise of “Supernatural Blood Sprinkling Victory Package”!
