I was wondering considering a TV show which mentioned the so called "prosperity gospel" in Christianity.
Which I as an RC see as related to Calvinism, election, pre-destination and favour which I tend to believe are contra to the actual words of Christ as recorded in the bible and understood by myself.
I was thinking also about how prosperity or wealth was considered in many spiritualities or religions, there seems to be unanimity about it being something which is unworthy in some way in comparison with other spiritual goals, even if there are marked contrasts and disagreements as to what those spiritual goals are (ie buddhism is non-theist, Abrahamic Faiths are theist).
