I am exceptionally glad that there is no death penalty for mocking you.

Cult leaders come and go, the real test of his "religion" of course is how his followers will remember him and keep the faith when he dies....

Sound familiar? Of course Jesus' followers never really admitted that he died, or he did and came back and then left for more than 2000 years, or whatever. There are a myriad of smaller cults, just like this one that never make it, or at least fade away after the fraudulent nature of them is exposed. You seem to be panicking over something that is in all likelihood not a major threat, unless they are making WMDs? Do they have oil? oh noes!

Speaking of which, I must have read plenty about you and your "usual target" Boazy, but I have not seen you go off about Scientologists, not once. You probably have, I just haven't seen it. Why not more about them? Perhaps because they have no oil, just Cruise control?

What? As well as the three major and three minor groups, no mention of the more than 3000 other Christian Denominations in existence?

Surely they can't all be right.

One group must surely be True Christians and all the others simply misguided churchgoers and victims of money-and-power-hungry fraudsters.

Unlike Franciscan monks, at least the evangelical "happy clappers" are careful enough to hedge their bets and make some money on this side of life.

I bet the Romans had similar thoughts about an uppity bearded fellow who emerged a few thousand years ago.

Guys and gals, I know it is tempting to mock, and heaven knows there is a great deal of material here worthy of mockery, but let's try to focus on the main game.

This rant of Boaz's has little, if anything at all, to do with the credibility of some guy who, until this thread was started, had made nary a ripple on the consciousness of all but a tiny minority of fruitcakes.

Boaz - no doubt after months of diligent research - came across a tinpot evangelist from Hicksville, and found some aspects of his fruitcakedness that he could use to further his whack-a-mozzie campaign.

All other aspects, including his desperate forays into comparative religion (Buddhism, Boaz? you are scraping the barrel, aren't you?) are irrelevant. He has managed already to make a handful of gratuitous and quite specious swipes at Islam, and is sure to have a few more in store unless we stop him.

But ridicule, however tempting, is not the way to do it.

Simply follow the bouncing ball, and send to oblivion every one of his transparently manufactured "connections" between this particular Christian nutter, and Boaz' real target, the Islam of his fevered, paranoid and prolific imagination.

And Boaz, please don't pretend to be naive, it is not a good look and is beginning to become quite tiresome.

>>I say its a 'new' religion' because it sure is not Christianity.<<

He says it is Christianity. You say it's not.

Look at it logically.

He uses (as you kindly pointed out) all the right words. So under the "looks like, walks like, and quacks like" rule, it is Christianity.

Dressed up in a wig and a tutu, but unmistakeably Christianity.

Only under the Boaz law that states "it is only Christianity if I say it is", can you be correct.

But while everything about the man screams "scam", instead of putting him in the (already well-filled) nutty-evangelist basket, you decide to make a song and dance about him.

Admit it Boaz.

You simply found another stick, didn't you?

This is the internets Pericles and I will ridicule who I like, when I like. I will thank you to leave your logic out of it, as you know exactly how much good it will do.
