Don't 'Give Till It Hurts' . . . the new message is 'Give Or Else It Will Hurt'

Check out this little gem, courtesy of the Friendly Atheist: "Trump’s Spiritual Advisor: Give My Church One Month’s Pay or Face “Consequences”".  It's also being reported in The Christian Post: "Paula White Urges Followers to Sow 'First Fruits' Offering of Up to 1 Month's Pay"

Yes, A certain hamster haired serial liar and misogynist's spiritual advisor is telling people to give their entire January paychecks to her, or else.  Here it is in her own words:

"All Firsts belong to God. When you honor this principle it provides the foundation and structure for God’s blessings and promises in your life, it unlocks deep dimensions of spiritual truths that literally transform your life! When you apply this everything comes in divine alignment for His plan and promises for you. When you don’t honor it, whether through ignorance or direct disobedience there are consequences."

Yes, Paula White says a pretty typically vague promise of rewards if you donate, and promises consequences if you don't.  The downside is there are people who will fall for this.  She's preaching the Prosperity Gospel, which had such a perfect take down on Last Week Tonight starring John Oliver:

We should also note that twice-divorced Paula is worth about $5 million dollars and many in the religious circles don't even consider her a preacher because of her lifestyle.  I know that shouldn't make a difference, but don't ya just love Christians and their ability to rationalize things.

Here's how I see things.  Goods things happen, and so do bad things.  Some of the people who donate will have something good happen and Paula will be happy to use them in her marketing for further donations.  The contributors who have bad things happen to them will be told their belief wasn't strong enough -- in other words they need to donate more.  Sound familiar?
