From Stephen Flowers on FB -
"I just saw the list of religions approved by the Department of War, which created a list of approved and disapproved religions. Among the approved ones are Mormonism and Christian Science. Disapproved ones appear to include Heathenism, Troth, Asatru, and Paganism. What criteria were used. We can guess... Certainly the nuttiness of the theology cannot have been a factor. Christian Science is as "New Age" as it gets, not matter how old it is. Mormonism believes that Jesus and his family are actually Mormons from another planet, and that Mormons now, should they believe, can become gods of their own planet elsewhere in the cosmos. Some of these theologies have only numbers to speak for them. The ideas behind the list: Heathenism, Troth, Asatru, and Paganism are solid ancient beliefs which go deeper and are far older than the invented religions even those belonging to ancient times, e.g. all the sects of Christianity. In a nutshell The Hebrew storm god condemned all of mankind to death for disobeying him, but had a son whom he had sacrificed and the condemnation he put one the whole of mankind can be commuted if you just believe in the efficacy of the son's sacrifice. The myths of our own ancestors are in every way more sophisticated and profound than anything that can be put up against them. (BTW i didn't see "Satanism" mentioned either way.) "
