Just because these people don't worship or believe the same things as your sect of christianity does not stop them from believing in the teachings of Christ. They just don't agree with you while holding positions of power.

Prosperity gospel is a real thing too, also the fastest sect of christianity growing in the world.

Ah, another sect that selectively chooses which lessons of Christ to follow or ignore to fit their own agenda.

"If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

Yup! I was raised evangelical and the pastors would brush away this passage as not being translated accurately where they would twist it to justify why you needed to give more money to the church because in the next life you'd be rewarded with riches.

It's a sick belief system.

Just because people don't follow the teachings of Christ doesn't mean they don't believe in the teachings of Christ? Hey, what did Jesus have to say about hypocrites?

Which goes to show you the state of Christianity today. Pretty sad.
