    Evangelicals call it “prosperity gospel” and it’s a total perversion of Jesus’ teachings. Basically, it claims that rich people deserve to be rich because their wealth is proof that they have God’s favor. It’s used to explain away why preachers are allowed to own private jets, yachts and diamond mines.

      Considering I know that Jesus asked his followers to give up earthly possessions to join him, I don’t trust those con artists pretending to be God on earth. God wouldn’t favor people doing the opposite of what he sent his son down to preach.
