Default Re: OT: Something worrying

I do like the bit

'The first is "Abuso di Credulita Popolare" (Abuse of Popular Belief) meant to protect people against being swindled or conned'

So true! Anyone else (bar another religion) trying that, they'd be torn apart by police/trading standards.

If someone says something to you which causes you to give them money and it then emerges they were lying you have legal recourse to get that money back. Unless it's a religion in which case it's gone forever, which I do have a problem with.

I think what he's trying to argue is that the collection plate after a church service is nothing more than "obtaining money by deception" as Jesus probably didn't exist or if he did wasn't the son of God.

I like his style and it does makes me laugh.
