[ale] [OT] The world IS ending!

[arxaaron]

Pretty clear that self deluded charlatans like Harrold Camping
should be imprisoned for felony fraud.  They have no ability
to deliver the product they are selling at any level and they know
it.  The same laws that protect our elderly from theft by fraud
and protect our children from domestic abuse should be applied
to the con artists and self aggrandizing zealots who fraudulently
peddle "salvation" from a pulpit or terrorize helpless children
with insane, fear mongering threats of non existent hellfire and
damnation.

In any other context these people would be properly classified
as insane, psychotic sociopaths.  I'm well past tired of subsidizing
these mentally diseased people with tax exemptions for their
cult organizations.  If they are going to take anything of public
funds, it should be in the form of treatment for their psychoses.

PS:
I was going to leave this thread alone, but I got annoyed
at our freedom of speech here is being threatened by over
reactive authoritarianism.
