At a televangelist's headquarters there was a backroom where about 10 people at two tables were opening "prayer gifts," stacking the money and throwing away the letters without reading them. 

For those who don't know what these letters are, an ill person--say the mother of child with cancer--sends in money and a letter asking for special prayers for her child.  Garbage pail was full of said letters.

I know what you mean, but you can lead a horse to water and blah blah blah and so on.  Peter Popoff used to pretend he was getting information about the audience and their maladies from god...it was proven he was using an earpiece and his wife was feeding him the info from prayer cards the audience filled out prior to the show.  Being exposed set him back a bit, but it didn't end the whole charade.
