On Victoria Osteen, I noticed that the plantiff was suing her, among other things, for the plantiff having her faith negatively affected by Osteen. I thought that was an very interesting (and hopeless) claim. Can you sue someone for negatively affecting your faith? Duh! I sure hope not.

Then again, it would be very lucrative to be able sue everyone who has negatively affected one's faith.

Let's see. I'll sue Jim Bakker. Nah, he doesn't have any money anymore. How about Jimmy Swaggert? Yeah, he probably still gets a lot of contributions. Then there's that preacher that got exposed for having a gay relationship. I'll sue him, too. And how about every writer who has ever foolishly mentioned that his or her faith has wavered from time to time? I'm going to have to get my lawyer on speed dial. The list is endless!

This world we live in. Sometimes you just have to laugh.
