Prosperity proves that we have the true religion? That's a highly questionable argument.

The wealthiest classes in America are the least religious; the most religious classes are the poorest.

Christianity is growing fastest in Africa, the poorest continent; it has waned almost to nothing in wealthy Northern Europe.

The 21 Christian Martyrs of Libya who were beheaded in 2015 explicitly because they would not renounce Jesus, were there as migrant workers. They are among the poorest people in Libya.

On the other hand, the Islamic Salafist Saudis are rich, rich, rich.

No, it does not necessarily prove true religion. I think it serves as evidence.

Yes, Northern Europe and really Europe in general is becoming increasingly atheistic, but that is more of a modern phenomenon. I am sure if we give it time, these countries will head to ruin.

Look at it already, the flood of Muslims is destroying these places. They turned their backs on God, and what is happening there isn’t that different then when Israel did this over and over again. Their enemies took them over. Muslims are undoubtedly the enemies of the followers of Jesus. God uses his enemies to punish.

Christianity is exploding in parts of Africa, and you know what if I can live 300 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are some of the most prosperous countries on that continent and perhaps the World.

Yes there are Christians in very dangerous parts of the World. It is unlikely that you or I will ever be in a position to be a martyr.

The Saudi Royalty is filthy rich, again that is a modern phenomenon. Besides, the average Saudi is poor, and their country is mostly barren.
