[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some people buy into it because it helps them feel righteous about their own selfishness, greed, and materialism. Like, it's okay that I bought myself this Land Rover instead of donating to charity, I wouldn't be so rich if Jesus didn't want that for me![/quote] Bingo! The whole point of "prosperity ministries" is to make you feel good about having WAY more than other people (particularly other people who aren't white). The more you have, the more righteous you are! Who wouldn't want to hear that once a week? Why anyone PAYS to hear that is beyond me, but I'm not a religious person, so I can't imagine handing over money to someone just to hear his version of God's word under any circumstances. [/quote] Right. And not only are they arrogant because they think their high salary is a sign of their intellectual superiority, they think it's also a sign that they are being rewarded by the Lord above. [/quote]
