Reply #9: Even a ton of our churches think like this these days

[Kievan Rus]

So many of them spout that "Prosperity Gospel" crap, which isn't the Gospel at all.

I go to a social-justic oriented liberal Lutheran church, and our pastor has criticized the "Prosperity Gospel" on many occassions. I also applaud the Roman Catholic Church and many various traditions of Eastern Christianity that criticize it; in addition to Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and members of other faith groups that criticize their faith's version of said materialist nonsense. Sadly, a lot of other churches and religious groups do not, and instead embrace it.
