6/8     A friend attends a church called the Church of Christ, Scientist.
        Is there a difference between this and Scientology?  If so, where
        does the Church of Christ, Scientist fit in the rest of the
        Catholic/Protestant/Unitarian/I-Agree-With-Paul hierarchy?
        Serious question.  Thanks.      -- unreligious guy
        \_ Christian Science is very different than Scientology.
           Scientology has nothing to do with Christianity, Christian Science
           is just one of the more different offshoots of Christianity.
           They're the ones that believe, despite the name, that modern
           medical science is bad, and prayer is the only valid treatment
           for illness.
           \_ two different founders.  L. Ron Hubbard for Scientology,
              Mary Baker for Church of Christ Scientist.
        \_ I've always wondered if there was any association between
           Christian Science and the Christian Science Monitor.   -!op
                \_ mary baker eddy founded Church Of Christ, Scientist
                   and the newspaper the Christian Science Monitor,
                   scientology and members of the
                   church of christ scientist (christian scientists)
                   Have absolutely nothing to do with each other. - danh

        \_ SOCIALISM
        is willing to match it, but I am not really that big a fan of
        The Red Cross (they take your donations and then spend them

1/6     Any Art History buffs here? I'm trying to find out if people
        in the Renaissance used the "golden ratio" to compose their
        art work? Do they divide pictures in some magical ratios to
        make them look the way they do?
        \_ The quick answer is yes; the long answer is that they did, though
           not all of them may have done it consciously.
