Here’s something I never thought I’d write. Lots and lots of folks completely whiffed on describing what Paula White was doing in that viral clip last week. Have y’all heard of a book called “This Present Darkness”? Read on: frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/satanic-preg…

Anyone who knows what “This Present Darkness” is should qualify as a bona fide member of the evangelical deep state.

No question. It’s part of the entrance exam.

If faith, in whatever format, helps you deal with life and meaning fine. I have witnessed this in family and friend circles.
However, I lived in South America, and also witnessed the exploitation of hope.

Credit card machines and pastors harassing people to donate it's obvious what the goal is. And it's not spiritual.
When you see people dividing their minimum living wage packet into pre printed envelopes with the church's bank deposit slips it breaks your heart.

Only in religion a subject notoriously unbounded by facts, does one find this level of excuse making for predatory hucksterism.

A Catholic perspective: prayer, miracles, gifts of the Holy Spirit are all real. But an uncritical enthusiasm for them opens the door to error and abuse, and ends up discrediting the Christian faith.

Well written, sourced, and cited. However, I think you are being more generous than is deserved.

This is also a generous remark.
