The end of God?
"Cascioli alleges violation of two interesting statutes, one the abuse of popular credibility, and the other impersonation. By creating moral codes and obligations, by benefiting from tithes and monetary contributions and by creating a climate of belief in the mythical and the fabulous, he alleges that the Church abuses popular credibility. By insisting that Jesus Christ existed, son of a virgin, miracle worker, and God incarnate, he alleges that the Church creates a mythical person, an act that amounts to impersonation. A corollary would be the invention of fictitious human identities to draw salaries or pensions against such identities. None of us would have any problem in identifying such behaviour as criminal. "
