Telmo: an AWFUL image! Someone wanted to get 'eternal' bliss for composing it SO complicated. (Mind you: 'eternal' does not mean a timespan.) When I still used the "atheist" epitheton I called the IRS (Tax office in the US) and asked if I can get a tax-free status for establishing an 'atheist' church with my friends?

About 20yrs ago when my brother was a pilot for Braniff airlines a group of pilots (not including my brother) got together and formed "The Church of Holy Remuneration". They gave *all* their income to the church - so they owed no taxes. The church then provided them with homes, cars, vacations in Europe, boats, lakefront lodges, food, ... After a few years the IRS decided this wasn't really a religion.
