We had a thing at work where we were being trained to handle payments. As part of the class, we had to run through United Ways poverty simulator and talk about the experience. The idea was to reinforce empathy or something before unleashing us on the payment lines.
One of the girls gets on mic and says she doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about. She never has to worry about money or poor people because “god provides for me.” And she laughed about it.
This was following the rest of sharing our own hardships we’ve been through and the troubles we’ve heard from other callers on the phones.
Fucking psychopath.
So sickening and what a lot of people think right now. Wealth is gods reward. The poors are just not Christian enough. It's all part of gods plan.
I call it neo liberal calvinism. Really pisses them off. (Mainly coz i think they dont know what it means.)
Whatever it is it’s not Christianity. Christianity has plenty of faults but this is a whole new horror of its own. They kept the branding and swapped out literally everything else. It’s just putting a cross of Republican politics and pretending it’s a religion now.

The prosperity gospel is not Christianity any more than a McDonald’s burger is actually a cow.
as you said, it's a Christian Heresy. in that sense, you're both correct.
It contradicts literally all of the teachings of their Christ. So it literally cannot be Christianity. When I said it kept the branding that covers exactly what your last assertion is. They kept the branding.
