What is the most expensive religion?

In any religion some aspects cost money: rituals, special clothing and "offerings" are just a small part of any religion. But what is the religion that demands the most expensive tributes from its followers?

DYK writes:  For starters, do you understand why there are prefixes in place:  Supernatual, paranormal, extraordinary.   (This question is for NJOY and/or Faith, or for anyone else who somehow wishes to believe there is something other than natural)

How does the UN-natural work?  Where does it reside?  How to PROVE it?  If real, wouldn't they all--super, para, extra--be natural?

Are there ANY real differences when considering FANTASY or PRETENSE when they are compared to SUPERnatural, PARAnormal, EXTRAordinary?  Aren't all outside the realm of Natural? 

How can anything REAL be outside the natural realm?

Njoy wrote:     You and I both went to the dictionary for DYK and still S/He was not satisfied. 

DYK writes:  And what did the dictionary provide?  Truth?  After all the years of enlightened people willing to share their knowledge of the "truth", is that "truth" explained in the dictionary?  If it is (it isn't), then there should be no journeys, no searching, should there?

 

 Njoy wrote:    Finding your way is such a deep seated personal journey,

 

DYK writes:  Again and again the contradictions.  It's "in the dictionary".  "Enlightened people" have discovered the 'truth' and shared the 'truth'.  But yet, in the next breath comes "finding your way" and "deep-seated" (deep-seated doesn't mean anything).  It can't be both ways.  Either the "truth" IS, discovered by the many enlightened and shared by them, and in the dictionary; or the "search", "find", "discover", "journey" means so far, "truth" is nebulous.  Is "truth" a god?  A "feeling"?

Or, more to the point:  An assertion....just another assertion in the long, laundry list of religious assertions.

NJOY to Faith:   Your explanations are so appreciated by me.  NJOY

DYK writes:  The logical caveat is that there were no explanations.  There were assertions, and not even good ones, since the terms used were without real meaning.

When thinking and using the flowery descriptive terms, words, metaphors, similies, any kind of figurative language, it normally an effort to evade the actual process of thinking and the questions that cause thinking.

Here's a question that, so far, has gone unaddressed:

What is the import of prefixes in front of supernatural, paranormal, and extraordinary?

If any of the above was real, then wouldn't it be natural?  If so, then is there anything that can be super, para, or extra, somehow separate from natural?  If something exists, isn't it natural?

Any religon that does not teach you that Jesus is the only way and the light.  Because without him, you will not reach heaven.  Time has run out almost.  Seek him and open your heart to him:
