Show me where the fuck I insulted your daughter. I think you are a troll, a know it all and an asshole. I never insulted your daughter.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

I honestly dont think anyone with children will start slinging insults at others people children on a BF2 forum.
A Religion has a set of beliefs that works as a guide for people in a good way, even if they are a fairy tale. A cult hasn't.SenorToenails wrote:
What do you consider the dividing line between cult and religion?sergeriver wrote:
Don't twist my words. You can believe in whatever you like to. You can create your own cult, but it won't be a Religion. And don't call Scientology a Religion, because it is not one.
And how is Scientology not that? It even has the fairy tale part. People in it seem to think it helps, so what's the problem?sergeriver wrote:

any negative reference about me from you involving my daughter is a god damn insult. Anyone with children would have a half a brain cell to recognize that.sergeriver wrote:
I don't care if you call me a retard, but posting a picture of a special kid to call me a retard is sad. You are an asshole. You should be a better person being a father. I feel sorry for your daughter.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:
no more like kid. But you sure as shit aint in the 1%. Again though, its sad that you think Im making fun of the kid when I call you a retard.sergeriver wrote:
Like the kid in the photo you posted making fun of him or special as in All I say is ok and most of you are morons or 99% of you are dumb?
Yes, it helps to evade taxes.SenorToenails wrote:

just....wow.
And everyone in Scientology evades taxes?sergeriver wrote:

OK. So if people in a religion evade taxes, that religion might be a cult?
That coming from the same asshole who used the picture of a special kid just to insult a person in an internet forum.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

The tax evasion thing is actually an interesting point.
See, I don't understand why we let ANY religion have tax exempt status. Just because your business involves a belief in a god or gods, that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to tax whatever applies at your business.

Both of you guys need to chill, I won't say it again. This isn't kindergarten and I don't care where it started. Just stay away from each other.
The next time it will be permanent.

And it doesn't make it a cult. I would like serge to give a reason why he thinks Scientology is a cult. Or at least, why it should not be considered a religion.Turquoise wrote:

Fair enough, but do you agree with me on the tax thing?SenorToenails wrote:

Agreed. My point is Scientology wanted to be recognized as Religion just to evade taxes, that's all I say. They don't have a set of beliefs that are a guide to people in their daily lives.Turquoise wrote:

Yes and no. Religious organizations do a lot charity, and operate on a lot of donations. That means they usually aren't floating in cash. The tax exemptions help them afford to keep the church and fund various good works.Turquoise wrote:

It also provides a lot of opportunities for tax evasion though. Why not explicitly limit the tax exemption to charities? You can have a religious charity and you can have a church, but the charity is the only part that should receive the tax exemption.SenorToenails wrote:

They do have a set of ethics and morals.
I would support a rewrite of the tax laws involving churches and charities, yes.Turquoise wrote:

No, they don't, and they don't have a Book like the Bible or the Qu'ran. They just have that Dianetics BS. Pls, the whole thing is a profitable business.SenorToenails wrote:

So now you need a book of parables to be a religion? What is this? Bizarroworld?sergeriver wrote:

The bible and the koran are books of stories that have a moral to them. Scientology has a book of morals and ethics. What is the difference?
so you need a book to be official, what else is on the check list?
