Utter crap, religion of convenience, has anyone looked at their twisted little doctrine? Isaac Send a noteboard - 18/09/2010 12:10:15 AM
Seriously, this church not only promotes some bizarre stuff but actually highlights it by having images on virtually every page on its site of Humans suspended in the air by meat hooks through their flesh. I recognize that many religions have dangerous components but I have to question the suitability of a parent who has essentially joined a cult that actively encourages, in their own words, "... piercing, tattoos, scarification, reconstructive and cosmetic surgery" and who seem to have no spiritual component at all. Needless to say, I don't see freedom of religion via expression in a case like this applying anymore than than some club that gets together and forms the "Church of Bodily Functions" as an excuse to urinate and defecate in public view.
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
