Very generous Neal, but if you really want to help you could enlist the aid of a certain someone who makes "the best" baked potatoes. Those fat chicks are probably going to get very hungry while they're waiting in line....

Excellent suggestions, TJ. I removed the bracketed quip and added to the fourth paragraph;
Mr. Hinn's style of speaking caters well to his purpose, which is decidedly evangelical in nature. His message is that faith will empower believers and that their very words will be annointed with the power to drive evil away, a message which is clearly not lost upon his audience.
I don't dare say anything about the more sinister side of evangelism or Hinn himself. Other students are going to read this thing as well, and it's a safe bet that some of them are evangelists themselves. I have to be careful about what I say and refrain from being outright offensive.
Thank you for your help

My attempt at removing sarcasm and humor from the piece has been less than successful. I simply lack the ability to seriously consider Hinn a persuasive speaker, or write anything to that effect. The best I can do is to fake enthusiasm and admiration, and then my writings come off sounding like the rantings of a cultist. That is an extremely undesireable result when one's professor is an ardent aetheist.
