"You are correct with regard to SOME Protestant denominations, but not all. "

Or you can start your own denomination. What the heck? You could call your church the First Church of Jesus Christ the Healer and get started tomorrow. Rent a space, put up a sign, and start preaching.

As far as the government's concerned, your church would be as valid as the Roman Catholic Church. You'd get the same tax benefits, and the same protection under the law.

Religion's a funny thing. There are as many sects of Christianity almost as there are Christians. Every week, someone splinters off from some denomination and starts a new one. That's why we have thousands of different denomincations and sects. Each thinks it has a lock on what the Bible means.

More power to 'em, I say. If I weren't an atheist, I'd probably start a church myself. I'm a pretty good public speaker, and I'll bet I could have 100 in my congregation within a year, just by saying stuff they wanted to hear.

What an utter waste of time. Not worth the time unless it is by saying stuff He wants them to hear.
