It seems that there should be some meaning to be derived from this, in terms of recreating Biblical events.

Hinn Leaves Legion of Troubles in Uganda from Bartholomew's Note on Religion (Legion - get it?)

Quote:

Kayanja and other Ugandan evangelists “fell to the ground unconscious” in Hinn’s presence. However, reports suggest that Kayanja was not particularly pleased by the religious experience: the incident would seem to suggest that Hinn is more spiritually powerful than Kayanja, and popular rumour has it that Kayanja and his colleagues had been exorcised by Hinn. . . .

Some pigs at what would seem to be a safe 20 miles away have begun to act strangely, and the word is that the demons exorcised from the Ugandan pastors have gone into the pigs.

From theKampala Monitor

Quote:

Having seen illusionists, conjurors and hypnotists at work, I will not (today) speculate on the nature of Pastor Hinn's "power". Moreover, we can decide to judge his kind by its own standards and references. Anyhow, after Pastor Hinn demonstrated that Pastor Kayanja and the others had always been frauds by exorcising their demons, the demons fled north-east and seized Maria's pigs.

Maria's neighbourhood is now pure mayhem. The monsters have been tearing up and devouring anything they can get their snouts on. The mud walls of the sty are down. Clothes are ripped from their lines. Potato gardens have been dug up. A neighbour's ducks have been mauled and partly eaten.. . .

A witchdoctor has offered to cleanse the pigs, if Maria will pay with a black goat and a piece of bark-cloth. But far more troubling, the witchdoctor says the demons would then inevitably return to the pastors. In her kindness, Maria is agonising over this mother of cursed choices.
