There ought to be a law against institution like religions and bogus charities that live off of lying to the gullible.
Fortunately in the US that would itself be illegal as well as utterly stupid.

Well it seems you are even ignorant about the meaning of basic English as well as totally ignorant about basic human rights in the US.

when he says

The I.D. court have already judged that Christianity lied in trying to put creationism in schools so there are limits to the lies that society will tolerate.
he is just onceagain showing his ignorance.
Christianity and Christian Clergy have always been at the forefront opposing Creationism in public education and I have pointed that out to GIA on several instances. Yet again, here is the Pastoral Letter issued by Bishop Sims back in 1981. Here is an excerpt from that document.
quote:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Legislation is pending before the Georgia State Legislature which calls for the public financing and teaching of Scientific Creationism as a counterunderstanding to Evolution, wherever the evolutionary view is taught in the public schools.
Scientific Creationism understands the cosmos and the world to have originated as the Bible describes the process in the opening chapters of Genesis.
The 74th Annual Council of the Diocese of Atlanta, in formal action on January 31, 1981, acted without a dissenting vote to oppose by resolution any action by the Georgia Legislature to impose the teaching of Scientific Creationism on the public school system. A copy of the resolution is attached to this Pastoral.
GIA seems totally incapable of even investigating the very basics of the subjects he attempts to rant about.

Adults don't try to discuss by youtube links.

Actually, the whole thread is silly and does not address the issue. There has been no evidence presented of anyone lying, no evidence of any fraud, removing tax exemptions from charities would have no effects on any of the examples given and so as usual, GIAs stuff is just another example of ignorance of the issues.
