As a child in WV I was transfixed by televangelists welcoming the worst sinners they could dig up--and telling of their own disreputable pasts with all the drinking and girl-chasing, although I grew up in an atheistic household. You really have to study these guys on TV if you don't have perssonal experience with them.
