/**
 * Computer-generated religion is not new -- we've been using it

 * <P>
 * The Eastern Sikh Faith believes that the Satanic Verses was
 * written by Walt Disney, and argues that Man will yield to
 * the Last Trump.
 * <P>
 * The Sunni Taoist Church denies that the Koran contains a
 * direct reference to Mumon, and argues that we should beware
 * Nirvana.
 * <P>
 * The Southern Sub-Genious Affiliation for Aliens suspects
 * that the Sargent Pepper album proves the divine origins of
 * David Scott, and explains that man will succeed in avoiding
 * New Coke.
