President Donald Trumps spiritual advisor, Paula White, claims credit for converting Trump to Christianity. In exchange, she has been awarded exclusive access to the White House where she advises Trump on everything from legislative priorities to judicial appointments as chair of the Evangelical Advisory Council.
White is not an ordinary pastor. She is a Prosperity Gospel adherent who believes that Gods plan for her is a luxurious, consumerist lifestyle. White has spent decades exploiting her followers who are mostly poor and working class people of color.
Pastor White demands that her congregation members donate huge portions of their incomes to her church which leaves them poor and allows her and her husband to live in a mansion stocked with designer clothes and luxury cars. When her congregation members have no money to give, she insists that they put jewelry and other valuables in the offering collection.

(15,543 posts)the republicans love to pretend they are actual christians, and then then pay no freaking attention whatsoever to any of Christ's teachings in the way they behave.
The republicans piss all over the christian brand, and then whine that people are mean to 'christians.'
