"Tis a relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord, not a religion."
So I guess that's why - even though the Church of $cientology enjoys tax-exempt status in the US - the Orgs here in the UK have to pay tax on their income (courses, Auditing, books, 'donations' from 'Pre-Clears' right up to OT-VIIIs, etc). Hmmmmm, quite a paradox - especially when you consider what is revealed in the OT-VIII Document; careful, that particular step on the 'Bridge to Total Freedom' is quite a doozy, re. what L. Ron Hubbard says about Jesus!
Now, you want to make that call to the IRS or shall I...? [/smartarse] [/SP] >:D
Islam is a relationship with Allah
Judaism is a relationship with YHWH
Hinduism is a relationship with Shiva et al
etc.
Your efforts to claim that Christianity is somehow special just don't hold water.
There's definitions of words, religion was named and is old and the definition's never changed.
You must have a God and adhere to ritual. ALL Christians do.
Unless you recognize no God and therefor ascribe to no holy book you are of a religion.
"'Tis a relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord "
Whom you believe to be an all-powerful creator-god. Hence, it's a religion.
Idiot.
Confused?
