Why don you cover Scientology, the Urantia Book, the Unification Church, or similar topics?
I have a general policy of not covering religions or belief systems without an extensive body of texts in the public domain. In order to post a text, I need to be able to clearly identify its copyright status without resorting to a copyright attorney. This normally means that it was published prior to 1922. The reason for this policy is because the institutions promoting recently emerging religions actively use the copyright laws to restrict electronic access to their texts. One copyright lawsuit against this site would probably shut it down. Hence, this site focuses on posting works about religions which have extensive material in the public domain. To be clear, this should not be taken to imply a disrespect for adherents to these beliefs or their texts. There is abundant information on the Internet about these groups, just not at this site. Q: Why don’t you post a link to the Urantia Book, Scientology, etc. A: This site is not about links, it is about content which is hosted at this
