The "Close to Godliness" Mechanism

Prayer offsetting - offered as part of a "sin neutral" lifestyle - has gained appeal and momentum mainly among sinners in western countries who have become aware and concerned about the potentially negative spiritual effects of their sin intensive lifestyles. Prayer Offsets are a way for individuals to earn prayer credits which can be traded on a prayer marketplace.

The Prayer Offset Scheme has established the Close to Godliness Mechanism (CGM), which validates and measures projects to ensure they produce authentic benefits and are genuinely "additional" penance activities that would not otherwise have been undertaken. Individuals that have difficulty meeting their Penance Quota are able to offset by buying CGM-approved Certified Penance Reductions. The CGM encourages projects that involve, for example, missions, prayer meetings, and religious rallies.

Prayer Offsets are cheaper & more convenient than the alternative.

But who wants to consider the alternative.
