Wow.. the US supreme court are clearly brainy folk to work this out.
They're investigating misappropriation of funds away from "salvation" and towards "private jets"
Woah... headfreeze!
This is a little ray of sunshine in todays increasing fundamental religious societies - the increasing fundamentalism (you can't have it without mentalism) is a defence mechanism to the increasing pressure on groups with better and better science.
If you're into Memetics you'll know this already, but in short the ideas and beliefs which survive are the ones with the best self defence and propagation mechanisms (believe or go to hell and you must spread the word, for example)
A good development was the government of the UK's recent moves against mediums, psychics etc who face restrictions on advertising and their legal protection unless they can prove the effectiveness of their techniques.
That being said read the following quote from the BBC's website regarding this and spot the funny bit!
Fraudulent Mediums
People who falsely claim to communicate with the dead will no longer receive the same protection from the law that they previously possessed.
That those who truly can communicate with the dead are allowed the protection after all.
I'd love to know the governments test.
Maybe they give a confidential message to someone to remember, then kill them. That'd be the easiest way.
