Earth's Biggest Lawsuit

Interesting, certainly.

Have you ever purchased a religious product or service? Ever paid a "tithe", sowed a "faith seed", or given a "love gift"? Ever donated money to a church, ministry, religious leader, or televangelist? Missed out on an inheritance, because a parent or relative gave money or willed their estate to a church, religion, or religious leader?
Has a religion, church, or televangelist made any false, misleading, or deceptive claims or representations? Statements that may have influenced your decision to purchase a product or service ... or to give your money?
It's time to get your money back.


Do you believe that organized religioneers should be held accountable to truth-in-advertising laws, like any other person or business who sells products and services? Should they be required to prove all claims when selling products, asking for "tithes" or "love gifts", or fundraising?

Do you believe that religious groups should lose their tax exemptions as "charitable", unless they can prove that +80% of their income is spent on real charity? Should they be required to make full, independently audited financial disclosure to the public?

Do you believe that "
church tax" violates the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights?
Add your voice to the petition for your country.
Join the global movement demanding government action against false, misleading, and deceptive conduct in religious commerce and fundraising.



While it's a novel idea, it smells a little like a scam to me. I have to file this under More Research.
It's questions like that that will make you burn in Hell.

Color me dubious.

Change our world. Bring peace on earth. End religious politics, wars, and terrorism. End world hunger and poverty, with the churches' wealth.

Don't forget curing the heartbreak of psoriasis.

As if people will stop being people just because organized religion deprived of funding.
