Telmo: an AWFUL image! Someone wanted to get 'eternal' bliss for composing it SO complicated. (Mind you: 'eternal' does not mean a timespan.) When I still used the "atheist" epitheton I called the IRS (Tax office in the US) and asked if I can get a tax-free status for establishing an 'atheist' church with my friends? The answer was (and I could not believe the IRS has any humor): Of course, as long as you identify the "GOD" you pray to.

About 20yrs ago when my brother was a pilot for Braniff airlines a group of pilots (not including my brother) got together and formed "The Church of Holy Remuneration". They gave *all* their income to the church - so they owed no taxes.

Lol


The church then provided them with homes, cars, vacations in Europe, boats, lakefront lodges, food, ...

The best liturgy!

After a few years the IRS decided this wasn't really a religion.


... probably not enough brainwashing and child molesting to be a 'religion' (cynical remark).

Well tried though!
