Opinion of prosperity theology

[Cory]

Ugh it's really bad in the South. Down here basically there are the preachers on TV who convince people that by sending him $17.95 he will send you some holy water to put on your checkbook and you could get free money from God (no, I'm not kidding). He even has people come up on stage talking about how they received a "divine transfer" of some thousands of dollars into their bank account "Just like Perter Popoff said it would!!1!". I mean seriously what part of this don't they get. But I guess I would play along too If I got a load of money from this guy.

It's like a lottery. If you donate money to Perter Popoff there is a chance you could "win" thousands of dollars or debt elimination "from God" in the form of a "divine benefits transfer" (not kidding, Popoff knows his base well).

Another thing annoying about it is these black "mac daddy" preachers around. They all drive fancy cars and live in nice houses wearing only the best jewelry and clothes. It's obvious to anyone that the whole church is basically a vessel for him to get rich on the back of his lower-income parishioners. All justified via the "prosperity gospel".
