The Prosperity Gospel in One Picture: A Closer Look at Televangelists, Christian Nationalism, and Biblical Hypocrisy

A Final Word: God Doesn’t Need Your PayPal Login

The Prosperity Gospel is a scam. It’s snake oil with a side of scripture. And like all good cons, it works best when the marks are afraid to ask questions.

So ask them.

• Why does Jesus, a broke Nazarene who flipped tables in a temple, now endorse luxury jets?

• Why are the loudest “pro-life” voices silent on poverty, racism, and war?

• Why does Christian nationalism need so many guns, laws, and lies to keep its version of “truth” alive?

If your faith can’t stand up to criticism, it’s not faith—it’s propaganda.

🙋‍♀️ FAQ: Question Everything

Why is Christian nationalism dangerous?
Because it turns faith into a political weapon and erodes democracy under the guise of moral purity.

What Bible verses contradict the Prosperity Gospel?
Matthew 19:24, Proverbs 30:8-9, Acts 4:32-35, James 5:1-6. Take your pick.

How can I spot a prosperity gospel preacher?
They usually own a private jet, live in a mansion, and quote scripture about “blessings” more than anything Jesus actually said.

Is there any good in Christianity?
Sure, there can be. But you have to separate the teachings from the power structures that warp them into tools of control.

How do I escape a toxic religious system?
Start by asking questions. Then keep asking. Resources like Recovering from Religion or The Clergy Project are great places to begin.

What are alternatives to traditional religion?
Humanism, secular ethics, philosophy, science, art, community—literally anything that values truth over dogma.

What if I’m dealing with religious trauma?
You’re not alone. Look into therapists who specialize in religious trauma syndrome (RTS), join supportive communities, and remember—it’s not your fault.
