20. Hell, they don't even really follow the Old Testament God...

If you actually read the older Torah texts, and older versions of the Vulgate, the God who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, who "destroyed the world by flood", who tore down the Tower of Babel, would not hold most modern Prosperity Gospel followers or "Christian Conservatives" as godly or favored people.

They're tribal bullies who worship earthy riches and positions instead of a God.
The Religion they follow is based off a mortal heirarchy taking the place of a God.
