Isn't true Judaism (Ultra-Orthodox) anti-Materialism?
Why is it reform Jews are the most Materialistic of all the ethnic groups?
I was reading a Buddhist pamphlet last night, and I'm not so sure they really like your kind very much, either.
There were some strong hints, for example the author a Buddhist monk wrote about "Other Religions" including Confucious, Christianity, Muhammadianism etc.
But, left out Jews.
Then there was another hint, when they said the wicked are more likely to be successful, because they don't have feelings, while the lovable always feel too much, and try to heal their wounds, too pre-occupied to succeed.
I really do think a lot of Jews really are the most wicked people.
I've dealt with Jews having lived in New York, and have heard, and seen them to be very unfriendly.
Not to say that there aren't good Jews, I just haven't really met them.[[/QUOTE]
So can we safely conclude that you don't like Jews? Do you really think that this is the first time that I or other Jews have ran into a dirtbag antisemite like you?
Maybe the ignoramus doesn't know that a big chunk of Christians in the US believe in Prosperity Theology, which I find nothing wrong with. Chalk that one on the long list of things the retard has no knowledge of.
Prosperity theology - Wikipedia
Prosperity theology (sometimes referred to as the
prosperity gospel, the
health and wealth gospel, or the
gospel of success)
[A] is a religious
belief among some Christians, who hold that financial blessing and physical well-being are always the will of
God for them, and that
faith, positive speech, and donations to religious causes will increase one's material wealth. Prosperity theology views the Bible as a contract between God and humans: if humans have faith in God, he will deliver security and prosperity.
The doctrine emphasizes the importance of personal
empowerment, proposing that it is God's will for his people to be happy. It is based on interpretations of the Bible that are mainstream in Judaism (with respect to the Hebrew Bible),
[1] though less so in Christianity. The
atonement (reconciliation with God) is interpreted to include the alleviation of sickness and poverty, which are viewed as
curses to be broken by faith. This is believed to be achieved through donations of money, visualization, and positive confession.
It was during the
Healing Revivals of the 1950s that prosperity theology first came to prominence in the United States, although commentators have linked the origins of its theology to the
New Thought movement which began in the 19th century. The prosperity teaching later figured prominently in the
Word of Faith movement and 1980s'
televangelism. In the 1990s and 2000s, it was adopted by influential leaders in the
Pentecostal Movement and
Charismatic Movement in the United States and has spread throughout the world. Prominent leaders in the development of prosperity theology include
E. W. Kenyon,
Oral Roberts,
A. A. Allen,
Robert Tilton,
T. L. Osborn,
Joel Osteen,
Creflo Dollar,
Kenneth Copeland,
Reverend Ike and
Kenneth Hagin.
