    I politely contest the validity of prosperity doctrine. Does it not rather fly in the face of the whole “camel through a needle eye” metaphor? Not a theologian.

      Showing a theological stance is contradicting their holy book isn’t going to be any more convincing than showing contradictions between different parts of the book itself is going to convince them to stop being Christians. It’s a dogma that starts with a conclusion and works backwards to find evidence confirming the conclusion.
