content: I honestly don't know how organisations like this survive. I mean I get there are a lot of gullible and mentally weak people in this world, but to occupy two (high up) floors in Darling Park (Sydney) shows they have made some serious cash. A full floor in one of those buildings is over 1800 sq. metres. I don't know the exact price, but it won't be cheap. At a guess, you're probably looking at $200-300k per month for one of those floors at the very least.Curiously, it looks like "Word for the World Ministries" might be moving out pretty soon if they haven't already as their floors arecurrently listed for leaseas of this month. Maybe finally they've gone broke or the Australian Tax Office have caught up with them?

content: This was by far the most entertained I have been watching one of Dave’s videos. I’m sure it was largely because I am like-minded in regard to his lack of belief.I have no issues with anyone’s belief in any deity, assuming it brings no harm to others, but many of the institutions and businesses surrounding such beliefs anger me from their pure opportunism. Unfortunately, these organizations are afforded certain privileges and protections in the name of “religion” even in our more progressive western societies.Popoff is just a more obviously “evil” example of this opportunism.

content: Quote from: Fungus on April 21, 2018, 07:22:05 pmThe only one I know of is Jainism.The more fundamentalist a jains becomes the less dangerous he/she becomes, i.e. the opposite of all (?) other religions.

content: Quote from: Fungus on April 21, 2018, 07:28:27 pmThere is a "prayer request" form on his site: peterpopoff.org/prayer-request-form/Also a donation option, I'm sure if you donated any tiny amount of money you'd instantly be on his mailing list as well.

They often show you pictures of naked men while giving you electric shocks, freezing your hands, sticking needles in you, etc.https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=pray+away+the+gay+campChristian values, huh?

content: Quote from: Fungus on April 21, 2018, 07:22:05 pmNope. Even the pacifist ones induce people to let themselves be stomped all over by the bad guys. Which in many ways is just as bad as the ones that tell people to kill in the name of their god.An equal concern these days is the 'Green' ethos, which contains many of the attributes of a religion. Some of the comments by these guys, such as that the human race is a blight on 'Gaia' and ought to be exterminated, really make you a bit concerned about them spreading this stuff to the public. Not to mention the scams. Homeopathy, a million crazy effects of climate change, you name it. This stuff does harm to others because it makes energy very costly which is very hard on the poor, and induces people to stop taking medication which would otherwise cure their illnesses.The litmus test for a religion is if you are immediately labelled a heretic if you point out an inconsistency in it.
