And I agree with the author of this blog, I don't believe it's an actual person but a way of thinking. Many people are no longer blind and they've found truth, no thanks to the Church. Greed is across the board! ALL have fallen short. ALL have participated in the current condition of this country. But wait I say, on the Creator!! In the meantime despite the outcome of the elections/economy, live the best life you can, cause I think you only get 1 shot at it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986487621440704600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-47093063575719293272012-10-23T06:45:29.815-07:002012-10-23T06:45:29.815-07:00The Collective Anti-Christ are the following:

This religion is the American Civil Religion, prosperity is the goal of our society at every level and virtue is measured by wealth. Puritans thought that the wicked were punished with poverty, and today the religious-right consider those impoverished as lazy. To think this they have to ignore over 2000 verses regarding God's concern for the poor, while finding a couple of questionable verses here and there out of context to justify their crippling of women, children and others. This is indeed the spirit of AC and not the Christ, as Jesus demonstrated.Perfect Ratio (Pastor Paula's Private Practice)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09583273579108414816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-68700819688087915232012-07-28T09:00:59.080-07:002012-07-28T09:00:59.080-07:00Greed is the culmination of the meme that mother c...Greed is the culmination of the meme that mother culture has been whispering in our ear since the day each of us slid into existence: "The world is made for man and man is made to conquer the world."

We have been given a story to enact that has us conquering the world and leaving it lying bloody and beaten at our feet.

I could argue that saving your money instead of giving it to the poor is not having faith in God to provide for your future! King Solomon received 666 Talents of Gold and that's what? The number of the Beast. The pursuit of Gold! Telling people to turn to God to get rich is not salvation.

I believe that the most brilliant thing the AC could EVER do is to co-opt a piece of Christianity to do his bidding. (I am not sure where this began, although reading "The Family" by Jeff Sharlet has given me a few thoughts on the matter.) This is exactly what I believe has happened with many of these right-wing religious sorts; they have been led astray by the AC and the AC's minions (televangelists, for example) who has filled their heads with false prophecies and teachings and twisted the words of Christ to support an evil agenda.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014128671483500832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-74185307123115600952011-05-16T19:47:06.444-07:002011-05-16T19:47:06.444-07:00It is greed, I agree.

But I think it actually begins at the top: when people see the kind of greed from the bankers and CEOs, and they see no difference between the top greed-spinners and themselves, they become consumed (no pun intended) with greed. John McCain loses track of how many houses he has, Trump teases us with his fortunes, the extreme right-wing, with the message "I got mine, screw you": people like these send the message to the rest of us that greed is good. Very few at the top are known for their philanthropy. So I don't blame the "masses," we are only following our leaders. When/if our leaders wake up and start leading based on some very common sense ideas, maybe the rest of us will change our ways. And I must say I think Joel Olsteen is part of what is wrong with the Christian message.affraidknothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180131663519509526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-65025501193060397392011-05-16T10:45:02.027-07:002011-05-16T10:45:02.027-07:00And where in the Bible did Jesus say that followin...And where in the Bible did Jesus say that following him would make anyone materially rich?:https://www.blogger.com/profile/17683052282647412029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-35924917489116431922011-05-15T20:50:15.343-07:002011-05-15T20:50:15.343-07:00It's a mistake to equate some followers of Ost...It's a mistake to equate some followers of Osteen with Osteen's message. Although my wife and I are not fundamentalists like Osteen, we do agree with his message that being in alignment with Spirit creates a prosperous life. Osteen is in our opinion just preaching against the old fundamentalist doctrine that poverty is spiritual. I've never heard Joel saying that accumulating wealth is the mark of Christianity, only that living in poverty is not the mark of being in alignment with Spirit.<br />If some of Joel's professed followers are not compassionate and giving, it's not because that's what Joel teaches. There are many Christians, and others, who pick and choose the bits and pieces of the message they want. Don't blame the messenger.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09462339320568198864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772353322407022699.post-12464747397673398742011-05-15T20:10:56.492-07:002011-05-15T20:10:56.492-07:00I encounter a few people on their way to Houston t...I encounter a few people on their way to Houston to see this Osteen guy.
