I think that this song pretty effectively makes the point about Benny Hinn and the charlatan theatrics of the 'faith' healers that seem to creep up around Christian believers.
I am sure that the author of this vignette is probably some mistheist or something, buy that does not discount the accuracy of his depiction (or the fact that it is really funny, if also a bit depressing).
Thankfully, the Catholic Church has always been very suspicious of such people.
Whenever you hear someone criticizing the Catholic Church's 'persecution' of heretical cults in the Middle Ages (or before, or since), just think about Benny Hinn...
P.S.
An excerpt from a 2006 letter to his followers:
... we have recently taken delivery on our Gulfstream G4SP plane, which we call Dove One. I have enclosed a beautiful photo-filled brochure to explain more about this incredible ministry tool that will increase the scope of our abilities to preach the Gospel around the globe. Now we must pay the remainder of the down payment, and I am asking the Lord Jesus to speak to 6,000 of my precious partners to sow a seed of $1,000 in the next ninety days. And I am praying, even as I write this letter, that you will be one of them!
Well, at least the government is finally investigating him...
