Preachers W/Huge Trophy Homes/Mega Bank Accounts/Assets. Something Wrong W/This Pic.

Cannot wrap my mind around all the fools who fund these phony fraudulent pricks. None of these media preachers are selling anything but myth. There is NOTHING religious or even spiritual in all these churches. These are businesses and NOT religion by even an insane stretch of the imagination. They are tax free frauds.

Can't believe that people actually follow and donate to these idiots. Can we all say "false prophets"??? I knew we could.

If God loves you, you'll be rich, and if you're rich, it's because God loves you.

If you're poor, it's because God hates you. So give me money and I'll put in a good word for you with the big man up there. Maaayyyyyyyybe you'll get rich.
Eventually.

Maybe.

God gives the most to those who deserve it and god answers the prayers of those who give the most to the deserving and you can tell who are most deserving by their opulence (fruit).. the poor not so much because they'd be giving to themselves. God gives the most children to those who are blessed in the Mormon religion which of course makes the Mormon church with their conservative internal socialism larger and more profitable.

It's all the same extortion of the vulnerable.

They preach this as doctrine.



The vulnerable and the intellectually incompetent.

What ever happened to..
"Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God." And...
"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."

They can cherry pick and rationalize anything.

So grifters can tell you what the bible says, and here I thought there was an English language version available.

Sad.

They are predators. They prey on the lost, the elderly, and the sick by selling them an invisible and imaginary product for at least 10% of their life savings.

Pure evil.
