Either extremely delusional or a very successful stage-performer who preys on people's ignorance.
Often proclaimed as a miracle healer, he travels around the globe hosting "crusades" held in stadiums and other large venues. People are "healed" on stage as Mr. Hinn speaks, sings, yells, physically pushes, and spiritually tranfers a holy energy to his believers. Many fall to the ground as BennyBoy supposedly cleanses them of their diseases.
Followers see him as a vessel through which God's power flows. Skeptics point out the lack of substantial evidence for his healings and the fact that anyone who wishes to get on stage is carefully screened by Hinn's cronies. Having a visibly obvious medical issue won't get you anywhere near Hinn. Is that a broken leg? Some gangrene? Get the fuck back to your seat.
Mr. Hinn is never shy about asking for donations. Telling followers to get their credit cards out or sending collection baskets around a second time are not uncommon events.
Many level-headed people consider him a fraud. The use of specially-selected music and lights create a perfect environment for the deep-seated believer to think they've been touched by God. Mass hypnosis, the power of suggestion, religious indoctrination, lack of critical thinking, faith over facts, and the need to find meaning in an otherwise meaningless universe are all at play here.

A Redneck version of Eggs Benedict. Instead of half of an English muffin, topped with Canadian Bacon, a poached egg and Hollandaise sauce there is half a biscuit, topped with a sausage patty, fried egg and gravy. Despite it's Southern Origins and use of pork, it is fast becoming a favorite in North East Jewish Communities.
Once again David sneaked out of Brookline to enjoy some Redneck Benny in Dorchester before his Hebrew lessons.

That moment you meet your end at the hand of someone you unscrupulously or arrogantly hurt or wronged. Sometimes the punishment doesn’t fit the crime but other times it is a well deserved death. Benny Blanco from the Bronx was the character in the movie Carlito’s Way that killed Carlito at the end for giving him a beat down but not killing him. He never saw it coming!
Yo you fucked that dude up bad for no real reason, you better hope that shit don’t come back around and get Benny Blanco’d by a muthafucka.
Add any and all injustices or misdeeds to the first part of that sentence, it’s all applicable in this ‘Civilized’ world full of stupid and senseless people.

lyrics
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
Hey kids, shake it loose together
The spotlight's hitting something
That's been known to change the weather
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight
So stick around
You're gonna hear electric music
Solid walls of sound
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet
But they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets
Oh but they're weird and they're wonderful
Oh Bennie she's really keen
She's got electric boots a mohair suit
You know I read it in a magazine
Bennie and the Jets
Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
