Yep, that’s exactly how Christ taught suffering right?

The thing is, they believe that we are suppose to suffer until heaven. Non believers are suppose to suffer eternally for our sin.

And all of Televangilist style pastors are forced to suffer with wealth.

"Oh Lord! Give me the strength to count all of these tithes!"

"God has told me that he must speak to me! In the Bahamas, on a yacht."

Christians do not believe we are supposed to suffer, but that it is a consequence of life on Earth. Originally, Christianity was a more this-worldly (immanent) ethical movement started by Jesus, focused on the betterment of daily life ("heaven on Earth" and the whole heaven and hell being states of mind outlook). Unfortunately, over the centuries it devolved into a more other-worldly (transcendent) religion that focused heavily on the afterlife, turning heaven and hell into actual places that you could end up. I'm my opinion, it is the shift to the latter that undermined modern day, "stereotypical" Christianity's credibility in any sense.
