The Faith Healers

Another case of a book that primarily confirms what I already knew/believed! The only thing is that it does highlight the lies, deception, and really THEFT from the believers, the poor, and the desperate! My outstanding question is "have the government or politicians or judges gotten ANY better at recognizing and/or punishing those responsible? This book is from over 30 years ago; has ANYTHING been done?!
I have mixed feelings: on the one hand, I laugh at the ridiculousness of unjustified belief, and on the other hand, I feel so bad for those who have NO HOPE other than the flimsy hope provided by charlatans who really want no more than to bilk them out of everything!
The comparison of a faith healers show with pretty much all other entertainments would be right on except for the promises and broken beliefs caused by them (the theoretically religiously pure) faith healers!
