I think part of what's going on here is people are mistaking/conflating your engagement HERE in this post, sharing her nonsense with us all for our shared entertainment, for engagement with her. and they may not have a lot of ladyfriends to know that this is just kind of one of the ways we deal with this shit sometimes, we just need to share The Audacity so we can kvetch and laugh together about it because a lot of us have been through similar shit or because it's just so wild that someone else needs to hear about it, like "you are never going to believe this shit."
and like, you know how blocking works, and if you reach the point of needing to you will, but for now it's free entertainment with nearly zero effort.

but also, blocking is not the panacea people think it is, and most women I know have been through situations where blocking actually made things worse than had they just grey rocked/allowed the psycho to get bored and move on on their own. blocking is active, while not responding/responding sparingly and boringly is passive, and while some people get blocked & take the L, crazy people do not. crazy people get new numbers or hang out in the places they know you might be so they can confront you about it and keep the conflict going. they don't consider what they've said or done to figure out what led to being blocked (or broken up with, or otherwise cut off), they focus on the fact that YOU have WRONGED them and they need to make you feel sorry about it, one way or another.

It is pretty wild how effective prosperity gospel has been at ingraining "wealth=goodness" when the richest people are the scum of humanity.

Uh, prosperity gospel is "wealth is good" not "wealth is a measure of good." Kinda a random thing to bring up here.

If I hadnt accidentally read a book about the rise of evangelical prosperity gospel and televangelism a few months ago I wouldnt even know what you were on about.

I read a couple I guess youd call them anecdotes about how it helped a few people. Though the sense I got was they just needed structure in their lives and got it through a belief in "something" and it just happened to be prosperity churches etc.

Being racially catholic the entire thing is sorta disgusting to me.

Nah, prosperity gospel is the belief that God rewards people with wealth/power. It's why churches (especially catholic ones) are often built with so much grandeur, to project power and (looted) wealth. The power structure that is the catholic church is quite disgusting. It's also a general undercurrent of our society, as religion reflects culture.

I brought it up because it seems as though a few people here are conflating money with goodness or value.
