Max Tone Extremism's theological roots (69* d) RE: Extremism's theological roots 10 Oct 01


Joe,
Most other corporations in the western world are under legal obligation to disclose annual accounts under freedom of information laws, so why should religions be exempt?

Kat's on the right track -- whether male or female, ALL religions were started by homo sapiens, not a god. As soon as a section of like-believers gather, someone will take control..................and do their utmost to keep it, in financial and behavioural terms.

In pre-reformation Scotland, the total annual tax revenue to the Exchequer (i.e. the Crown) was £40,000 Scots, whilst the church's take was £400,000.
