Thanks for the article. Reading crap like this makes me sick. I wish 90 percent of the world wasn’t as stupid as they seem to be.

Sorry, but I can’t fault them too much. If Paris gave me a call, I’d drive up to the mansion in a heartbeat. As, far as tax free – I suppose you’d have to change the law for everybody – including Atheists.org.

maddogstu, the tax-free status of orgs like AA and religious groups is not covered by the same regulation, I believe. I’m not a lawyer or legal authority, but I suspect that if religious groups were subject to the same scrutiny as orgs like AA, they could not get away with this kind of abuse. So, what needs to be done is to do away with special tax-free status for religious organizations where they are relatively free of srutiny for abuse.
Maybe somebody from AA can fill us in.

This is just another scam to seperate people from their money. Visit http://www.randi.org for weekly news and topics such as this good for the skeptic in all of us. Also http://www.Quackwatch.com. The best way to deal with this is to be informed. It isn’t just the nonsense that is being promoted it’s the idea that a piece of string can have miraculous powers,(but get yours while the supply lasts only $15.00). When I see people with these symbols I generally inform them of what I just posted here and then tell them that these symbols mark them as gullible. Typical is for me to mind my own biz but some have come back to thank me weeks later and to let me know that they were embarrassed by their gullibility. The word does get through to some. PS keep up the good job your doing.

Just another gullible half-intellect person again, you made it so obvious when you said paris hilton, money robbing so called miracle healers, you only gotta look at that preacher in faith healers in america to know that. But the only thing this fad is doing is helping is social status which is pretty F**king sad.
