In a way, I feel people that fall for such stuff deserve it. OTOH, whenever reading stuff like that, I cant help but think that religious freedom is one of the bigger errors of our modern society.

Do you deserve the things you fall for?

> I cant help but think that religious freedom is one of the bigger errors of our modern society.

So, you think people should be told what religion to follow?

Religious freedom as USA practices it lets parents indoctrinate their kids. In my eyes that is not religious freedom at all, where I come from doing that is illegal. Some people still end up religious but most don't.
If these people are claiming to be Christian, then they're doing it wrong and I'd argue they're not Christian.

I can't speak for other religions.

No, I ultimately think reliions should be banned as the scams as they are.

How? Do they only fall for this, because they are bad people who deserve punishment?
