re: #147 Belafon

I just thought of a response to the “prosperity gospel” people: Yep, God is giving you all this money to test you, to see if you are a true Christian. Will you take care of the poor, children, the sick, and the elderly?

Yes, “taking care of them” in the sense of teaching them self-reliance and initiative by denying them any form of public assistance.

God is truly great and merciful.
