My mini-comic that kind of sums up my thoughts on the prosperty gospel.

To me it's unbiblical. The pastors use it to steal your money, by twisting scriptures, taking them out of context, making you feel guilty for being poor/in debt. They also claim you can get rich for "sewing seeds." Taking the parable of the sower completely out of context when Jesus describes it's meaning a few verses afterward.

And then they use people's money to live lavish lifestyles, such as buying expensive designer clothes, mansions, and luxury cars. Private jets even, though I am not completely sure if I disagree with private jets, since I see some advantages in using a private jet to get to crusades and remote areas faster. Why doesn't that money get put to better use? It's not wrong to be rich, but very very suspicious to be living the rich life from tithes and offerings meant to improve/maintence the church, help the poor, and keep the pastors surviving.

Theres many videos on Youtube exposing those famous pastors. And many articles online exposing the prosperty preachers. And for more detailed understanding of what they do and say, read "Christanity In Crisis: 21st Century" by Hank Hanegraaff.

I may do more artwork on that topic in the future, since it's a very serious issue to me.
