You know, the #protestants broke off from #Catholicism because of the selling of #indulgences, but isn't the #prosperitygospel literally the same thing?

Seeing Trump identified as The Golden Calf..
Any Old Testament readers here want to give a gloss of what happened to the worshippers of the golden calf?
It is a heavy story, the bits I think I remember were violent.

If I had a dollar for every performative, jingoistic, pro-Black race and gender essentialist who, lacking honest self-awareness, has purity tested the authenticity of my Blackness and femininity, exactly like Europeans besotted with the drug of whiteness, I'd be materially wealthy, and as intellectually and ethically bankrupt as my critics.
You do know, former NYC Mayor Eric Adams is, or was, pro-Black, so there obviously are many expressions of what it can mean to be pro-Black, and like the cults of #BlackCapitalism and the #ProsperityGospel, not all of them are demonstrably healthy.
I loved this latest hot take by brother #FDSignifier: “Pro Black” ain't enough no more.

“More importantly, global evangelical theology is largely based on a doctrine of individual salvation and transformation, a message central to the American movement. … There may be an even more stark financial appeal to the prosperity gospel in some evangelical movements outside the United States. But the general promise of faith yielding success pervades American evangelicalism."
~ Ibid., pp. 121-2

Trump is trying to kill people that don't have the right community support structures. He's trying to make the country so deadly that only communities with government approval can survive.
This will prove that those people were good in god's eyes

Why do so many #evangelical leaders end up being… creeps?
"In this video, I explore the disturbing pattern of #abuse, manipulation, and scandal among #Christian leaders — from #prosperitygospel #televangelists to #culturewar #preachers. This isn’t just about a few bad apples. These #ministries attract creeps, protect them, and often reward them for their worst behavior."

That'd make the #ProsperityGospel a #CargoCult.
I'm reading of more and more cargo cults which were sparked by the interaction of industrial goods-abundant cultures with pre-mass-market cultures.
It's bizarre that a socialist cult that had a strict and explicit moral code has been twisted into a ring wing consumption-justification program.

"That bread and fishes thing? I charged entry." - also Jesus.

But I do not approve of what I see in use, that is, to seek to affirm and support our religion by the prosperity of our enterprises. Our belief has other foundation enough, without going about to authorize it by events: for the people being accustomed to such plausible arguments as these and so proper to their taste, it is to be feared, lest when they fail of success they should also stagger in their faith.
[Mais je trouve mauvais ce que je voy en usage, de chercher à fermir & appuyer nostre religion par la prosperité de nos entreprises. Nostre creance a assez d’autres fondemens, sans l’authoriser par les evenemens. Car le peuple accoustumé à ces argumens plausibles, & proprement de son goust, il est danger, quand les evenemens viennent à leur tour contraires & des-avantageux, qu’il en esbranle sa foy.]Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist

The fundamental problem with the west, Trump & Elon Musk in my opinion is:
Most of us can’t imagine somebody could be rich & famous out of sheer luck.
Success worship blinds at least half the population.
Not only that, but it also creates genuinely scary stuff like evangelical prosperity gospel, where success comes from god and is therefore infallibly right. 😰
What a sick time to be living in!

When certain people find out I'm Buddhist, they sometimes I think I'm into New Age stuff. I blame Theosophy. But nothing could be further than the truth. The New Age movement is just repackaged prosperity gospel and eugenics. That's my hot take for today.

tfw christian conservatives say shit like "[Trump's newly appointed faith leader] Paula White is a heretic, who pedals (sic) the prosperity gospel. Plus, women should not be pastors according to The Bible."

These 2 #NZPol fkwits follow the Prosperity Gospel rather than science. #ProsperityGospel is a growing theologically conservative movement that emphasises believers' abilities to transcend poverty and/or illness through devotion and positive confession rather than by following science or evidence.

Well... The actual result was her getting more and more visibly vehement about me not fitter her #ProsperityGospel #LawOfAttraction schema as I was still a #marginalized #disabled #immigrant #Latina living in #Poverty
She thought that performing some illegal acts to get me a different type of housing that I would #magically thrive
The gun shots outside my windows at night didn't phase me - she said I was defective for it
Really I knew the violence was a result of #colonialism not me

Once upon a time, I had an Evangelical relative.
They are still #Evangelical and we are still related, but I ceased all contact with them after one last attempt to preach the Prosperity Gospel to me — including the argument that it is incumbent upon the churches to feed the hungry and shelter the poor.

"A recent survey by Lifeway Research found that 52 percent of American churchgoing Protestants say their church teaches God will bless them if they give more money to their church and charities. That figure is up from 38 percent of churchgoers in 2017."
And, as Elle Hardy reports, at the same time, the prosperity gospel now dominating the thought of many US churchgoers is increasingly blaming the poor for being poor.

The most toxic #religious #invention of all time is the doctrine of delayed #Reprisal.
It allows #evil to thrive in the here and now and mollifies reprisal against evil in real time. For example, #JoelOsteen is the devil incarnate swindling thousands in real time while preaching the #ProsperityGospel. He needs to be tarred, feathered, and put in stocks where people can throw putrice upon his head.
But, the “faithful” would respond, oh, he’ll get his at #judgment. Yeah, right. He’s getting his, while taking yours, right now.
The doctrine of delayed reprisal is a religious #con that insulates #corrupt #power from immediate #consequence.

also for subscribers I wrote a #villanelle taken from one of #JoelOsteen's #prosperitygospel
books.

When are people going to wake up to this con? Billionaires won’t save us. #EffectiveAltruism is a con. So is #Libertarianism. #MegaChurches and the #ProsperityGospel are too. Stop hoping there is a benevolent billionaire who cares more about the planet or the people or democracy than they do their own massive earth-destroying wealth. I see smart people saying things like “where is the left’s Robert Mercer?” STOP. https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-grift-brothers/

With so many #SiliconSlopes unicorns laying off people, in many cases without the required notice or severance provided by the WARN Act, it's pretty galling to see their de facto PR and lobbying firm attempt to whitewash the problem with a job fair. There's a lot of hay made about the #UtahWay and #Utah being different, but the big tech firms seem to not be all that different from Silicon Valley. Well, except they seem to be far more cruel in their actions to employees while putting on a much "kinder" face about it, but that's hardly an improvement. We should stop elevating a company that has cruel indifference in its actions and attempts to compensate with public prostration.
I honestly expect much better from them. Most of them are my co-religionists, #LDS members who went to BYU and should have higher ethical standards. Unfortunately, I see a lot of the blasphemous #ProsperityGospel in their words and deeds. Mixed with cutthroat #SiliconValley VC culture and it's a toxic brew.
I've ended up with a growing list of large Utah tech companies I don't want to do business with, much less work for, because of their gross culture and employee treatment. Entrata. Qualtrics. Domo. HireVue. Now also Podium and PluralSight.
PS Utah's tech scene needs an association for the small guys and individual practitioners. We need to make a clean break from the celebrity CEO worship, bowing to F500 members, and big IPOs. Just the people that get stuff done.
