Any hope of a lawsuit against religion?

[Vetalia]

You could stretch things and make "God" be an actual defendant, like she did

My post was more geared towards the OP, who seems to want to sue "religion"

Stretch it or not, how exactly can you serve papers to a deity? It’s silly. Funny as all hell but in the end, not doable. How do you sue an abstract concept like a religion, or the idea of it? I mean, unless you go the route of the movie plot I mentioned that is. And even then...

Actually, maybe we need something like this to finally bring an end to the absurdity of the "war on terrorism". Maybe we can also file a lawsuit against drugs to achieve the same results.

Makes you wonder, right? Can I sue the Baker from Strawberry Shortcake? He caused me many a nightmare as a child.

Interestingly enough, God hasn’t been the only target. Lord Rama was sued for mistreating his wife.

It would also be interesting if, when you sue "God," would you be suing Yahweh, "God" God, Allah, or the Mormon concept of "God?"

There’s that. “So, which Godly denomination are you suing today, sir? We have the Abrahamic one, the Muslim one, the Fire and Brimstone Hysterical, the John Smith special, the FLDS combo or the secret salamander in the dessert mix and match.”

Betty Penrose, for example, sued God.

Can you sue fictional beings?

No

I know, suing God is ridiculous, but considering there are people who think the Earth is flat, there are probably people who want to sue God or even worse, "religion"

I couldn’t find specific lawsuits against religion but I wasn’t delving deep. I wouldn’t doubt if someone has already tried.

The OP seems to affirm this

It’s a LUNA thread in the end. As you follow his argument throughout the thread, the reasoning for one is rather flimsy.

At best, he can sue a religious organization. So he could presumably sue, say, a mosque or the imam or a Catholic diocese and a particular priest or priests in it. But he can’t sue Catholicism or Islam.

You leave our drugs and fun outta this, you hear!

Do you mean Joseph Smith, one of these John Smiths, or a generic John Smith?

John Joseph Jingle Himerschmidt! Yeah, the Mormon bloke. I keep confusing my Js.

I'll never forget that fucker's name, so I can remind you every time you need reminding.

I still feel my idea of possibly suing those who bringing money to the Vatican collected from followers in other countries has not been adequately addressed.

Gently remind you, then?

That has nothing to do with suing a religion however. If these people are found to be doing something wrong, as individuals, you can certainly sue them.

Better. My skin is too sensitive due to cold these days.

Judging by the two maps, there really isn't that much of a correlation between religion and violence. A number of very religious nations are ranked as peaceful, and a number of very non-religious nations were ranked as violent.

What you are doing is completely misrepresenting data to push an agenda, and it actually makes me quite angry.

And no, you can't sue religion. Makes as much sense as suing communism or capitalism or any other ideology.

"There are some data that don't exactly fit your model, therefore your model is wrong." :thinking:

If you're interested in suing, I've managed to locate the CEO of religion.

Okay, so maybe "complete misrepresentation" was an exaggeration.

But I still think the OP's idea is absurd.

[Weaponized EMP Monopolies]

yes

send religions to prison

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

yes

send religions to prison

Will they have rights to conjugal visits?

Something doesn't quite add up there.

only as long as we get to record it and sell that liquid hot religionxbeliever action on the dark web

[Vetalia]

yes

This isn't white collar resort prison, it's Federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison.

[TURTLESHROOM II]

Is there any hope of a lawsuit against religion for all the deaths it has caused?

No.

Only if I can sue the remaining Captive Nations, plus Russia, for the damage caused by Marxism and Atheism.

Also Germany for (more) reparations from Atheism (or at least opposition to religion as it stood at the time), as envisioned by Nazi Germany. (Hitler explicitly desired to destroy the Church and gas Christians; this was his "Kurchenkampf" and was the next phase of the Holocaust after the "undesirables" were destroyed. While some in the SS were pagans, Hitler was not.)

Atheism's body count was formed in one hundred years. Organized religion's count, in ten thousand.
The Great Leap Forward alone cost sixty million men their lives. While religion, over ten thousand years, can be attributed (directly or indirectly) to more deaths, violence in the name of organized religion has never killed as rapidly as Atheism.

Organized religion has a higher body count because it's been here since the dawn of man. That's it. It was under Atheist states that mass killing became a perfect science. Islam can't hold a candle to Red China, the USSR, the eugenicists, the baby killers, and the whole nine yards.

Sue yourself before you attack the reason why people think violence against the innocent, the dignity of all human life, and the very nature of having rights simply because you are human, with no qualifiers, exist.

Who should be held more for bloodshed? The myriad of organized religions since the Bronze Age, negating all the good and charity they have also done, and why society views morality the way it does?

Or the mere one hundred years of officially, vocally Atheist states that have butchered, and continue to butcher, one-fifth of the world's population?

Also, your shifty map shows Russia as one of the most violent on earth. Its "most religious" status is lower than the USA.
