Talk:Name it and claim it/Archive1
This sounds like...[edit]
This sounds like a cartoonishly exaggerated illustration of Marx's "opiate of the masses" idea--don't do anything about your lot in life, just pray and keep sending us checks!--Filby (talk) 03:57, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
The comments regarding Catholic beliefs aren't very well supported. For example, some religious orders do take vows of poverty (such as the Franciscans), but how does that constitute the "inverse" of the "Name it and claim it" beliefs? There are some who have subscribed to Liberation Theology, but the Catholic church has specifically argued against those beliefs. My suggestion would be to just delete this particular section. — Unsigned, by: Shekhinak / talk / contribs (signed by bot) 18:48, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
So, uh[edit]
"name it and claim it" But how exactly? Are they supposed to name it in their prayers? How's it supposed to work? And how does this "name it and claim it" stuff relate to prosperity gospel (basically send money to the church and good stuff will happen to you)? Is that how you're supposed to 'claim' the thing you 'name'? Or is this about how televangelists will publically name something they want (e.g. "a private jet") and claim it through the power of their gullible followers' donations? 142.124.55.236 (talk) 11:31, 24 August 42015 AQD (UTC)
A message from the future?
Can the proponents name and claim each others' property and congregations? Anna Livia (talk) 17:39, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
