Of course, these are called 'cults' which is exactly what Christianity was called in its inception.
A man named L. Ron Hubbard did just what you suggest not too terribly long ago. Rev. Moon did the same.

Some people consider that John Smith did that also.

Yes indeed-ie... forgot about him... but so as not to slight anyone I want to make it understood that I am not using the term 'cult' derogatively.

Yes, and it also shares much with other religions.
How does unique equate with accurate anyway? (assuming, of course, that this is where you are going with the statement.)

Maybe nos482 does not wish to perish with the dogs of reason?
