Wrong.
That is not what is happening there. It is not a video of David pretending to be in a wheelchair to get money.

So now what has happened is that Fingers is becoming as guilty as the thing he claims to be against: deception, misrepresentation, fooling people.

I agree that it does shame Christianity (in my opinion)
Surely one of daves little mates (in the vid) could have had a placard stating that Dave was actually able bodied? The chair was obviously used as an advertising slogan for his cause, the honourable thing (if he wasn't presenting himself as disabled) would have been to make this clear to the people he spoke to?
Put it this way, if I encountered a Monk in a wheelchair, the last thought to come to mind would be that he was anything other than a disabled Monk!
The Drunk on the Lord nonsense is surely the same thing? An illusion whose sole purpose is to convince?
