Is miracle-working a passport to violate people’s rights?

Some new churches go to any length to project their miracle-working propensity and outsmart each other in the art, or is it a science?

Intimate body parts are exposed, medical secrets divulged in public, children, some very young, are made to go through visibly long deliverance ordeals, and babies, some barely a few hours old, are paraded in front of television cameras for reasons that remain just as nebulous or ill-defined as the people who perform these miracles.

Is miracle-working a passport to violate fundamental human rights? Have miracle workers become so strong that they have lost their sense of decency and decorum?
