(33,024 posts)9. Phoenix event with Paula White scuttled
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is pleased to report that an upcoming Phoenix religious event, in which President Trumps spiritual adviser was a slated headliner, has been cancelled.
FFRF rushed out a letter on Friday, March 13, to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich warning him about a large mid-April gathering at the Phoenix Convention Center that was supposed to feature megapreacher Paula White. Organizers of the Decade of Awakening gala had sent out a fresh advertisement for nonrefundable tickets, along with assurances that the event would include supernatural protections against the coronavirus, as well as a cure for every virus and plague.
FFRF had asked Brnovich to take immediate action to protect the public and to hold organizers accountable for the public health crisis they were engendering. The state/church watchdog pointed out that the planners claim of the event including a cure for the coronavirus contravened Arizonas Consumer Fraud Act. Whites participation in this event was especially disturbing, FFRF emphasized, since the presidents spiritual adviser seemed to be capitalizing on a pandemic. FFRF had advised in its letter, written by FFRF Attorney Ryan D. Jayne, that the only sensible course of action was to scuttle the event.
Fortunately, the state of Arizona issued guidelines on Sunday, March 15, that forbade gatherings of 50 or more people. The Decade of Awakening organizers were forced to cancel.

Now they can pocket the money and don't have to pay for a facility or munchies.
