The IRS generally uses a combination of these characteristics, together with other facts and circumstances, to determine whether an organization is considered a church for federal tax purposes.

QUOTE (Aaron @ Mar 30 2007, 07:48 AM)  Seriously though, this isn't a huge shock... I'm pretty sure the federal government has a pretty strict standard of what it considers a religion. It has to be over 1,000 years old, etc. i wish it was 1000 years. a lot of americans look really stupid, which would be amazing. |

All this talk of pasta makes me hungry.
-------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

I thought that initially as well, but I think it basically means religious classes for children and just used "sunday schools" as an example. I could be wrong, though. It would not surprise me in the slightest if everyone that works at the IRS is a bible-banging, brimstone-fearing, abortion-protesting, gay-fearing, contemporary christian music-listening, rapture-anticipating douche bag. |

Nah, because Wicca is a legally recognized religion. It doesn't meet many of the criteria that you listed, so I presume those are just general guidelines, not strict rules. -------------------- |

WELSH v. UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES QUOTE CASE SUMMARY: PROCEDURAL POSTURE: Petitioner appealed a judgment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which affirmed his conviction for refusing to submit to an induction into the Armed Forces in violation of 50 U.S.C.S. App. § 462(a). OVERVIEW: Petitioner argued that the Universal Military Training and Service Act, 50 U.S.C.S. App. § 456(j), entitled him an exemption from military service because he was "by virtue of religious training and belief" a conscientious objector to war. The lower appellate court found no religious basis for petitioner's claim because his objection was based solely upon belief. On appeal, the court reversed petitioner's conviction under 50 U.S.C.S. App. § 462(a). In determining whether the beliefs were "religious" within the statute, the court explained, the test was whether the beliefs were sincere, intensely personal, and occupied a place in petitioner's life parallel to that filled by the God of those qualifying for the exemption. Because petitioner's beliefs functioned as a religion in his life, he was as much entitled to an exemption as someone qualifying for traditional religious reasons. The fact that great weight was accorded religious declarations did not imply that petitioner's non-religious declarations should be treated similarly. Nor should the exemption exclude those whose personal moral code was derived by beliefs on matters of public policy. A little insight on how the supreme court views a "religious" belief. -------------------- |

If there is any, nobody here cares enough about this to find it, proving another point 3. Okay i'll admit, eating my own anus does sound exciting. |
