Televangelist Don Stewart offers green "prosperity cloths" on his show, and one can get one by simply phoning for one.  His program shows us testimonials of people using such a cloth to turn their lives around, as through getting new jobs, or getting out of financial debt.  Can such a little green cloth really do all that, and more?

Proponents against all forms of religion may see this as a clear reason as to why religion can be nonsensical.  Religion certainly is valuable when approached with good moral attitudes, however, just like everything else in the world, it has its imperfections, one of which is when some may use it to their own advantage.  The following is taken from Don Stewart's website:

MAKE A VOW OF TITHE BY FAITH!

A Vow of Tithe by faith is a sacred promise to give God a special offering in advance, based on what we believe God will give us in the future. It’s the same as planting seed today for a future harvest. Since this is a vow on future earnings and blessings, the amount of your vow will be determined by what you are expecting God to do for you. If you are believing for big blessings, then you make a big vow of tithe by faith. The greater your need…the bigger your expectations for the future…the bigger your vow. In other words, the more seed you plant, the greater your harvest will be.

In simple terms, here’s how it works. How much money do you need? If you make a vow of tithe for $1,000, it means you are believing God for $10,000 [emphasis mine]. If you make a Vow of $2,000, it means you’re believing for $20,000. Your future need may be much greater than that. You set the level of your need and vow to give to God according to that need.
I challenge you to make a vow of $1,000 or more.

For some people, especially those who have lost all hope and are desperate to try anything to get themselves out of whatever hardships they may be in, Stewart's appeal can sound quite inviting.  If you go to church, your church shouldn't be egging you on to give thousands of dollars, and saying that the amount you believe in God is based on how much money you donate!  That is absurd, and is a manipulative way of persuading the vulnerable to give more and more, believing that the more they give, the more they believe in God, and the more God will want to answer their prayers for that new car!

When's the last time you heard a priest say that the more you put in the collection basket, the more God will love you?  The bottom line here is this: God loves us all equally well, the only problem is that too many choose not to reciprocate or even acknowledge that love, resulting in... evil.
