You keep quoting scientific papers when that IS NOT the issue I am driving at.
You might as well show me scientific papers showing why scientology and fortune telling are BS.
Let me repeat — SHOULD PEOPLE IN A FREE SOCIETY BE FREE TO PURSUE AND PAY FOR THINGS THAT ARE FOOLISH?
Should it be the government’s business to disallow people from pursuing such things?
And please, no more scientific journals ... that is not what concerns me.
“SHOULD PEOPLE IN A FREE SOCIETY BE FREE TO PURSUE AND PAY FOR THINGS THAT ARE FOOLISH?”
Yes. And I haven’t raised scientology or fortune telling. And I’m not opposed to people voluntarily pursuing Foolishness on their own dime at all. However: The Issue is not Foolishness.
The Issue is Fraud being peddled in trade for Civil Rights.
It is not only BS, It’s Illegal.
