Sorry about the last email.
I was changing the website over to a different host and the machine got all excited and decided to prematurely send a welcome email to celebrate.
Which sort of forced me to write a new post. So here it is –
Class Action Law Suit
What if an organisation sold tickets in a lottery that offered a million dollar prize each week, and each week they announced that the winner was a person who wished to remain anonymous?
What if this went on for a number of years before somebody asked the organisation to open its books to prove that the prize money was actually being paid out?
If the organisation refused, and ticket buyers sued the organisation to demonstrate that it was not in fact running a fraudulent scheme that never paid out, surely a court would force the organisation to prove it was not perpetrating fraud on all the ticket buyers?
Now what if a similar class action was brought by a group of people who had paid weekly offerings or tithes to a church such as the Catholic Church?
What does the church promise in return for the money it asks for?
Heaven is the obvious answer.
If not for the promise of a perfect afterlife, would anybody have any reason to give their money to the church?
Perhaps it’s time for a class action law suit.
Time to force the church to admit that they have absolutely no verifiable evidence of the afterlife that they promise their customers in order to take their money.
Time to prove that they are a criminally fraudulent organisation.
Sure, a victory is unlikely, but it could be a good opportunity for an ambitious lawyer and a PR agency to generate a bit of controversy and publicity.
Though who knows what might happen if the suit was brought in a highly secular jurisdiction?
