Yeah, the widely practiced "Prosperity Gospel" stuff is like a religious studies PhD designed the most anti-Christian form of Christianity for a thesis, and suddenly people started picking it up and running with it.

First, it is by no means “widely practiced” as it is a niche version of Calvinism that is only common in the USA. The Roman Catholic church does not in any way endorse this view and they are a billion or so of the christian population. Whatever the Vatican does is more or less what is “widely practiced”.

Second as mentioned it is based in Calvinism. If I could slap the shit out of any man in history he’s in my top two.

Ohhh, friendo, there's about 500 million Christians in Africa that are heavily besieged by Evangelicals pushing this for the political clout. It's rampant.

Plus, that Joel Osteen guy peddled a version of this hard.
