This is enormously important—these guys have been building the prosperity gospel white Christian nationalists up as a political force for much of my life, from Falwell/PTL, to the Heritage Foundation, to Vance and Trump. Now it is finally ‘out of the closet’ for all to see—welcome to Gilead, as we look to model our society on The Handmaid’s Tale.

such loosers, god for profit, still has the power to raise a buck...Youre kidding me, what drivle, god dosnt care about your fing bank account, money is the problem that causes a lot of sick, screwed up creeps to behave in ways god or christ would never condone. they think theyre getting away with it because god approves. meanwhile the rope pays out, as ever, waiting for the moment when it seizes them by the neck and they hang themselves wth their own rope. get ready to discover how you cheeezed on yourselves. the stank is yourself on stupid

Thank you for another thought provoking essay. Some of us who have organized Moral Mondays ( based on Rev. William Barber’s MM) in our small city have actually been talking about how do we help the people who are and will be hurt by this regime and will eventually turn away from this hurtful regime.

Putting this in the larger context of the so called ‘prosperity gospel’ helps.

I’m sharing this with our peaceful resistance group. It will start some meaningful conversations.
