Should there be a law against public institutions that lie for money?


Religions and many charitable organizations of all stripes make their revenues by lying to people.

Should we help protect the gullible by eliminating all the fraud that is being passed off as religion and charity?


Those who do not believe the lies being sold by religions and charities are presently subsidize the tax exemptions and credits that religions and charities enjoy. What they save in taxes, non-believers and those who actually want to give to charities must fork up.


I am not what most would call a non-believer, I am a Gnostic Christian, but still resent my hard earned tax money being used to perpetuate what most know are lies. If you are a non-believer, or one who wants your charitable donations to actually be used for charity, I hope you feel the same and do not like being fleeced the way the gullible are.


There ought to be a law against institution like religions and bogus charities that live off of lying to the gullible.

From a legal sense, it would depend on the facts of the case and if the lying constituted fraud or other unlawful activities. Many public institutions, including religious and philanthropic groups, have a duty to truthfully portray their activities and use of funds, and they may suffer legal ramifications if they are proven to have participated in fraudulent activity. However, evaluating whether or not an organization misled for money can be a complicated legal matter that necessitates a comprehensive review of all relevant facts.
