Plenty of books that make poor claims about anything non-scientific. They claim to know the facts as well. None of which can be proven, of course. Is this any different? I don't see how, other than the fact that one's religion and the other isn't.
There is no law against claiming fiction is fact, nor should there be, as far as I'm concerned. You obviously feel differently, but I'm not sure why.
There are a lot of shysters out there that do everything completely legally. Should they be thrown behind bars for lying? Is that a new law you think should be passed? Lie and you get 5 years. Where would we find our politicians?? Car salesmen? Any ideas??

again...you stretch to make your point...what you suggest isnt even on the same planet.
An infomercial has a product...a visible product that is hardly fake. Whether you want to believe its the best or not is your choice...or that of others. Religion "suggests" you believe in a God or the son of God when there is absolutely no physical proof. Then they demand you live by their morals and attempt to bring others into the fold.
Anything that cant be proven as scientific is "unproven". Science doesnt espouse anything different. Whats your point? If someone lies about something that makes them a liar....are you suggesting that Christians are the same?
