2008 and the Posperity Gosel

I wonder how 2008 has impacted believers in the Prosperity Gospel? With large losses in the stock market, church giving being down and unemployment rising, do they see it as a sign? Are they being punished for being greedy and or valuing money above their god? Do they see that their pursuit of wealth at any price allowed for evil and immoral people to destroy the wealth and safety of others? Do these Christians feel any culpability whatsoever?

Or is God is testing them? I bet many believe this financial crisis is a test of /their/ faith. But what if the accumulation of wealth was the test? What then?

James 2:24 You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
