God's advertising powers less than omnipotent
There are times, living in the US, that I miss my native Britain's robust consumer protection legislation.
A Christian group has been banned from claiming that God can heal illnesses on its website and in leaflets.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it had concluded that the adverts by Healing on the Streets (HOTS) – Bath, were misleading.
It said a leaflet available to download from the group's website said: "Need Healing? God can heal today!"
The ASA said it had been alerted to the adverts by a complainant, and concluded that they could encourage false hope and were irresponsible.
