Is there a bigger scam than "Prosperity Gospel?"

7. Actually, that's not my understanding of prosperity gospel.

I don't think there is a correlation between one's wealth and how much god has blessed someone, but more a reflection of how much faith and love an individual has for god.

It's about personal empowerment and coming to terms with god. If someone is poor, it's not because god doesn't love them and it doesn't mean they are going to hell. It's because they haven't done the work needed to get rich (including giving lots of money to their church).

But the bottom line is that it is snake oil being sold by shysters in order to line their own pockets.
