Yup. Apparently they are even formally recognized as a church and as such have tax exempt status with the IRS.
Interestingly, their creed is apparently adopted from the Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi, while the remainder of their tenets seem to be adopted from various sources, including Buddhist teachers such as Thich Naht Hahn, Christian writer C.S. Lewis, and New Age teachers such as Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra.
“Sounds like your god has everyone covered. Apparently one guy dying was all it took.”
“… why would my participation matter, if your god killed that guy on everyone’s behalf? Was that guy magically blocking everyone’s submission? I don’t get how begging for mercy and killing one dude can both be important.”
“Your god killed his own kid? Like Saturn devouring his son? That’s fucked up! If you have infinite power to do anything, why would you choose that?”
“Well if he came back then what’s it matter that he died?”
