It's Prosperity Gospel, which is what the cult he's gotten caught up in "believes".
The irony is that, even though prosperity gospel is unbelievably shitty, the conflating of wealth = goodness and thus if you're a good person God will make you wealthy effectively means that if you're having to ask for money, you're not a good person
And if you fall on hard times you did something wrong.
It's fucked up.
No argument there. It's an actual belief that the rich get richer and the poor have children.
No, no, see the way they spin it is, he doesn't "have" to ask for anything. He's giving you the opportunity to be part of the goodness that results from his bank account ballooning - after all, if you donate to him going to heaven, when it's your time, he'll be waiting there for you. And before that, you can turn around and ask others to help you.
It's MLM tactics as a religion. Blame Amway & Tupperware ;-)
