With a God-King in a cloud realm and the occasional crucifixion. Not
to mention passing the plate on a regular basis.

I think it is important that we don't develop the same sort of
hierarchy and mentality of the established faiths. After all, they
have a successful business model, with holy writ handed down from on
high. Wikipedia began by reversing the flow, and I think that for the
internet age, we've got a grand tradition, where anyone can jump in
and add their two bits.

Jesus said "Blessed are the meek," and here we are, where the masses
have handcrafted a grand cathedral of knowledge.

In the Beginning God said, "Hello World!".
