I'm not saying it IS A CHURCH
I'm saying it's LIKE A CHURCH.
An orange and a grapefruit look similar, but one is not the other.

You're quoting the dictionary at me to get off on a technicality.
These people organize, greet, meet and talk to each other in buildings. The only difference here is their beliefs
This is like saying that if two people are spraypainting a wall colored black, the guy who who's using primary colors can say that he's different (And in some cases superior)

But if that's not enough for you

Here's one that calls itself a church, is that good enough for you?

These guys even have Reverends and Ministers!
>As a legally ordained minister, you will be able to perform weddings, funerals, commitment ceremonies, and other functions that are reserved for members of clergy.
Is this not apart of what you said is a requirement of a church?
