No, the issue is that some people are blind bigots and others are

"Andrew says, so it must be so" isn't a form of argument that other

I've explained why.
Perhaps if you explained it again with actual arguments and evidence?
The kind of stuff that people who aren't you might find credible :->
Perhaps if you read the origional again? I gave plenty of evidence,
which starts with the fact that they operate as whatever sort of
organisation better suits the area. They not a religion, they are a
form of organised crime (especially in America).
You are assuming that being a form of organised crime precludes it
being a religion? But many religions are organised and dupe people
into giving them money by telling outrageous lies. What's that if it
isn't organised crime? Hint: the links between the Catholic Church
and the Mafia aren't an accident. And the Catholic Church is the
largest pedophile ring in the world. That's pretty criminal and
they've been covering that up for centuries.
As for 'what suits the area' - Christian evangelists have a long
history of representing themselves as language teachers or family
planning advisors in countries where evangelism isn't welcome so I
suppose that means Christianity isn't a religion by your broken
definition.
