In reply to the discussion: E.W Jackson warns that if Pete Buttigieg wins, he'll try to turn U.S. into a "homocracy" [View all]Celerity
(54,460 posts)3. According to Jackson "Money magnifies the character of an individual."
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/E._W._Jackson
This is despite him being a preacher who should know about Jesus Christ saying that it to be easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go to heaven. Jackson believes that charity shouldn't go to the poor but instead upward, to the wealthy since they are the "job creators". In his book he even suggests giving your money directly to him if the reader begins to feel a deep connection to God. He goes on to say that God will make one "prosper" so long as they donate to him and his church.
Jackson is critical of the theory of evolution, saying that since chimpanzees can't talk, it must be a sign they can't evolve(???) and therefore evolution is not real.
