Haven't seen a size applied to a definition of a religion yet. Interesting viepoint, and I think the size argument tends to be used by majorities against minorities quite a bit. And religious movements tend to try to convert others to their belief rather than accept them. Even the jedi seem to like convincing people about the force... tim -- --------------------------------------------------------- Tim & Therese Fairchild Atchafalaya Border Collies.
