It has been asked why non-christians post at "Atheist Central."

     That particular blog is, of course, a branch of Living Waters. I would suggest a couple reasons. One is a human tendency to warn against scams. Living Waters is a commercial enterprise (posing as a non-profit) which sells garbage in the name of "salvation." Another is that Living Waters deliberately misrepresents non-christians. I say that it is deliberate because the blog writer has been corrected numerous times, but he continues the same misrepresentations. Then there is the fact that Living Waters encourages people to try to get legislation passed which is hostile to non-christians. People are not threatened by some nebulous "god." But they are threated by an organization trying to pass its religion into law.

Strange how certain comments keep getting deleted.

     It is rather plain that the blog currently called "Atheist Central" is just an arm of Living Waters. The Living Waters home page links to the blog and the blog sells Living Waters merchandise. There have been a couple points where mention of this fact fit the conversation at the blog. So I submitted comments to that effect. My comments did not violate any of their stated rules; yet they were deleted anyway. You don't suppose they're hiding something, do you?

There is some suggestion that Living Waters is trying to spur a lawsuit to generate sales.

     I thnk that would be a very unwise course of action. While it might increase sales, it would probably also attract the attention of the Eternal Revenue Service (wait, that's Internal Revenue Service.) If it takes a look at the copyright policy of Living Waters, it is very likely to decide that the registration as a non-profit is fraudulent. The people at Living Waters may find that the entity gets dissolved, they get to sit in jail for tax evasion (and other frauds) and that they are not allowed to sell anything, anywhere, ever. Since the main characters do not strike me as sincere, they should probably reconsider.

Oh, this is rich.

     Now the claim is that any comment on that blog may be used in a Living Waters publication under Fair Use. Given the "copyright policy" at Living Waters, they might find that the judge in any case would be unreceptive. They may be registered as a non-profit, but they are acting as a commercial enterprise.

Copyright law

     Ray Comfort, of Living Waters, snuck a disclaimer onto to his blog claiming that all comments to his blog became the property of Living Waters "Ministries." That is, of course, not how copyright works. If Living Waters later tries to use a Fair Use defense, that disclaimer will actually work against them.

This blog will speak about Living Waters "Ministries."

     Note the quotation marks. I consider them highly dishonest.
