In part.

Given these times of competing ideologies and belief systems, including atheism, can you think of a better mind set?

If so, share it my friend.

Many say that, or that they do not have a horse in the race, but they change their tune quick when I ask them if they would have the same reply if their mama sold the farm and gave the cash to the lying con man instead of leaving it in their name as inheritor.

It is easy to ignore someone else getting screwed but it sure hurts when they are the ones getting the bat shoved up from where they were talking out of initially.

Wow. I am getting vulgar. It must be time to hang up my computer. I am less vulgar in the morning.

Why should children expect an inheritance?

You sound like a spoiled brat. Are you a chronic victim?

It is not the expectations that should come to mind. It is how an adult will sit back and even let his own mother get robbed without lifting a God damn finger.

Thanks for not getting it. Try thinking like a guy who would have been the 4th generation on that farm.

Never mind.
I will take your mothers address though seeing as how you would not give a damn if I went and defrauded her.

Extending the definition of fraud to cover religious claims would appear to be one way that the government could deter religious confidence schemes. But I'm not suggesting it is a good idea. When it comes to religion, so long as the government doesn't sanction one over the others, I think it best to leave it alone. For most people, most of the time, religion doesn't really do much actual harm.

Wow. Quite the conclusion given 5,000 years of war thanks mostly to religion.

I guess that you have not noticed the homophobia and misogyny that is still rife in the world thanks again, mostly to religions.

I guess that you do not have any gays or women in your family. If you did, they would slap you silly as they have been discriminated against without a just cause by religions forever and are religions longest running victim.

And I have not even mentioned Inquisitions, Jihads and Holy wars.
