There is a difference between a religion and its god, and I find this is is common misconception among atheists(that is, connecting religion and god as not mutually exclusive, when they are.)
@donbeatplumb- Nah, I'm planning on being an English major in college, probably. I never said I didn't now the words, I'm just opposed to such obvious flaunting of said words, as if they somehow make you superior for knowing them.
Yes, Xenu is included in the relevant gods category, but as I said it is much different from other religions' interpretations. He's pretty much the complete backwards idea of what a god is and serves basically as 'this is what God is NOT' in the list.
Wasnt flaunting, just using the words that best conveyed what I wanted to say, you know 'communicating effectively' and all that.
What is your objection to my use of long(ish) words when looking at your previous post you yourself used: misconception and mutually exclusive. Both reasonably long words/ phrases conveying complex meaning, or where you flaunting your college level english?
As for Xenu, seems he was an 'intergalactic dictator' which does seem like gods job description to me.
