Imagine you know something that basically states that it is logically impossible to know anything about object X. Now imagine you run into someone who makes a living off of making others feel good by convincing them that he knows something about object X that cannot be known.
Now, replace object X with prosperity promises and that certain someone with a fraudster.
Now replace that prosperity promise with a prosperity gospel and that fraudster with an evangelical preacher.
Now replace that prosperity gospel with what may occur to ones conciousness after death and the evangelical preacher with a priest.
Do you get it?
It is fairly simple logic. Liars lie and the others are stupid.
