The Secret of Prosperity

The idea is that personal faith and donations to religious causes will be repaid in material and literal terms, right? As well as spiritual. So it's not just karma, it's like cash. And the Bible is portrayed in a lot of prosperity theology as a contract between God and humans. If humans have faith in God, God will deliver security and prosperity. Sickness and poverty, interestingly enough, are viewed as curses. They can be broken by the power of faith, sort of the power of positive thinking.
