They'll just retort by saying that poverty is a curse from God, God does not want anyone to be poor, Jesus was a rich man, God has promised manifold returns if you give generously etc.

You simply can't argue with adherents of the Prosperity Gospel.

Due to the govt's hands-off laissez faire approach towards religions, this cancer has been allowed to fester for a long time, culminating in the CHC scandal you're seeing now. Should have nipped it in the bud back in the 1990s. And it's not just CHC, many other churches peddle the same nonsense.
