I grew up as a Christian when I was a kid, but now I see Christianity as organized crime for conmen and sex predators. A fake personal development industry with a collection plate that puts ideas in people's heads to make them vulnerable to predators and exploitation.
The main leverage the pastors seem to have is the anointing that can be felt in church during the singing, and their claims to be leaders and experts in the field of anointings. In churches where the anointing is stronger, singing in the chord of C seems to influence the strength and changing the songs to an Ab seems to turn the tap off again.
I understand there will be sceptics that scoff at the idea of some kind of spiritual atmosphere being real in a church, but it will be science and scrutiny that proves it exists or does not. That doesn't mean the jokes about it shouldn't exist.
The pastors use anointing, to recruit people to joining their religion and submitting to their leadership and collection plate. It's effective and it sucks a lot of people into believing that God is real, and He is with them. Even if people are smart enough to see the pastors are frauds, they still go to church just to feel the anointing every Sunday. It's because of the chicken soup for the soul.
The scam includes the church being the only place people can feel the anointing. If they come to church every Sunday, you can put ideas in their heads and the only way to make money out of the anointing is the collection plate. Unless science and scrutiny can look into the anointing and see if it is just a natural part of personal development and social bonding the fraud will continue for as long as the pastors protect their power, control, and leverage.
The million-dollar challenge has been withdrawn now and it's a pity because it would have been a great way of putting an anointing to scrutiny and making a million dollars. Does anyone know of anything similar that will be willing to risk the wrath and intimidation of the church to put an anointing to scrutiny and test it. I don't see the pastors as having a legitimate claim to anointings being their spiritual property, I see what the pastors are doing as prohibition and exploitation.
So, if I wanted to get an anointing tested and understood, where would I start? Academia will probably cave in under pressure from the church and a peer reviewed study is unlikely. You will not get burned at the stake anymore but there would be consequences.
Do the pastors pass their expertise and leadership in the field that includes anointings as part of academia? They make a lot of claims associated with intelligence, education and academia but there are no peer reviewed studies on anointings. It's like they are above peer reviews, or they are hiding something. Or they refuse to acknowledge their accountability to their peers.
For the record, I am not an educated academic, I am a comedian.
So, other than a million-dollar challenge, how do you provoke academia into doing a study on anointings?
