Using Religion To Scam

It's not bad enough that these scam artists use pseudo-science and outright lies to get people to part with their hard-earned money.   Now they've added the power of religious myth.   Sadly, it'll probably work with many of the ultra-religious.   Found at the blog of The Good Atheist.

  2. At first, I thought this might be a joke, on the order of canned unicorn meat. But apparently it's an actual offer. Here's a link to the offer online.

    Sadly, this is nothing new. In his second letter to the church in Corinth, Paul of Tarsus warned against this kind of scam:

    "Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God." (II Corinthians 2:17, NIV)
