All Hat No Cattle: The Prosperity Gospel

Larry Wilmore destroys ‘prosperity gospel’ megachurches for turning Jesus into a money-making scam
On Wednesday’s Nightly Show, host Larry Wilmore and his panel attacked “prosperity gospel” preachers like Creflo Dollar for exploiting their congregations in the name of Jesus Christ.

According to the Bible, Jesus threw the money changers out of the temple and less than 48 hours later he was hanging on a cross. Today, the money changers are televangelists and mega church preachers and they're re-crucifying him all over again, just in time for Easter!
