Would the U.S. be better

[Marthe48]

3. Exactly

Years ago, I was invited to hear a visiting preacher my friend knew. His take was that God would reward us if we were part of his flock and pointed out several Bible verses that mentioned larger flocks of sheep or other signs of prosperity. It was the first time I had heard a 'man of God' promote religion for personal profit. I wasn't impressed.

But seems like he was ahead of the game. I imagine he prospered at the expense of the people who bought his line.
