Prosperity Gospel – A Brief Allegory

At small group last night, we got talking about prosperity gospel preachers (in particular a rather famous gentleman from Houston), and I came up with a rather humorous allegorical image. I pictured a giant billboard along a highway that says “A relationship with God and all the blessings that come with it – Exit Now”. At the base of the sign sit a group of people, and their leader, with impeccable hair, is expounding to them all the wonderful attributes of the billboard.
