Should Governments regulate fraudulent religions?
https://www.google.ca/search?source=....0.nCgTyqsYAOA Fraud is a broad term that refers to a variety of offenses involving dishonesty or "fraudulent acts". In essence, fraud is the intentional deception of a person or entity by another made for monetary or personal gain. Fraud offenses always include some sort of false statement, misrepresentation, or deceitful conduct. Most governments and countries have fraud laws of some kinds. They generally interfere with religious fraudsters only when physical harm is being done to our gullible citizens yet ignore the monetary theft that the fraudsters fleece from their victims. Prosperity ministries are the most flagrant of these immoral religions, but all religions based on demonstrable lies would be included in this question. Our governments are quite good at acting against obvious fraudsters yet seem reluctant to protect our more gullible citizens when it comes down to religions. Religions, to me, get a free pass to lie and steal all they can from victims, especially the older citizens even when governments know about the fraud. I begin to see the inaction of governments on these religious fraudsters as a dereliction of duty. Do you? Regards DL |

What are ya gonna do...start acting like Henry VIII, or Cromwell, or Mohamed, or Lenin, or Mao, or any other of the persecutors of theologies or religions that you don't like or don't fit your own self-serving beliefs?
As for the civil crimes, specifically financial crimes, the government is not 'quite good at acting against obvious fraudsters'. Just off the top of my head, ever heard of Bernie Madoff? Here a reasonable list about religious crimes, but it only covers recent times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...cted_of_crimes Also a site with some sound advice, and some good links at the bottom: http://www.religion-info.com/religiousfraud.html
