In reply to the discussion: Growing strain of evangelicalism preaches 'hostility' towards poor Americans: Report [View all]Snackshack
(2,569 posts)Religion has pretty much always "preached" hostility to one group or another. Open up the bible to any random page and chances are you will find this exact situation being espoused.
Didn't this "Prosperity Gospel" actually used to be called "Domination Gospel" or something like that? I know when I first heard about this it was not "Prosperity Gospel" the name it was called implied dominating every aspect of life from the imposition of dogma to material items.
No matter, it is one more take on what is a horrid concept / dogma. That on balance has been very detrimental to our species but was needed to keep chaos at bay so I get it but, now that we have standing armies and law enforcement departments across the country the threat of burning in a lake of fire for eternity is no longer needed as a compelling reason to act in a human / civilized manner.
