This holy water will erase your debt

[cristycurves]

Can you imagine people being that gullible! If you're channel surfing in the early morning hours you're sure to come across Peter Popoff's tv ministry and him trying to swindle cash from people in exchange for little viles of "holy water" or "blessed oil". I guess it must work, as he's apparently worth 10+ million, go figure. Hmm, maybe I should get a tv spot and start selling my hard on cream, lol. It works if you rub it in long enough:SayWhat?:

People find comfort in many things.
They find strength in Faith.

That Faith gives them hope.
Who are we to belittle their Faith?
What makes our perspective greater then theirs?
We know what works for us but we can not say it will work for them.

Although I agree with your sentiments, we all know tap water will not erase debt, and we all know it is tap water and faith is one thing, stupidity is another. Because if there was a source to collect water from, holy water, a water that had powers, everyone would be draining that source and everyone would be cured, rich, or satiated by it's powers and obviously we all are not Too, Peter Popoff has been proven to be a shyster and fraud. Believe what you will, conning people in need, and getting away with it, should be the worst crime

I agree with you about TV shysters.
But faith is not in the ma but the Word.

"God wants to prosper you" is lousy English. It should be "God wants you to prosper". Guess English is not God's native language....so Trump won't be happy and may build a wall around God and make him pay for it.

It actually is proper English, as the word can also be used as a transitive verb.

1. intransitive verb : to succeed in an enterprise or activity; especially : to achieve economic success, to become strong and flourishing
2. transitive verb: to cause to succeed or thrive

It's Old Testament originally written in Hebrew and translated into King James English. The writers were threatened with death if they made a mistake in translating.

Why are we bothering with proper spelling or translations?.

This is a review site, who bothers about proper spelling?.

I completely agree with you and I'll go a little further and say that all organized religions, be it Christian , Muslim, Hindu etc...is fantasy and myth for the simpletons.
