Well this was certainly a great thread to read prior to heading to my first day of classes at uni this semester

I have to say though, I'm a bit surprised that that issue of finance hasn't arisen with regard to Scientology - that's certainly where my largest ethical issue with them stems from.

All Jains do, as far as I know. They don't believe in a creative / managerial god, which is what people usually mean by "higher power."

It is true that Jains do not believe in one entity that is the creator and/or steward of existance. This is not to say they do not believe in a higher power. Jains believe in a universe that is eternal, self perpetuating, and self governing. The universal truth is thought to be a conscious force that governs all things including the karmic cycle. Due to the conscious attributes given to the universe/universal truth, it must be considered to be a higher power. Additionally, the Hindu concept of Brahman is nearly identical to the Jains belief in the eternal truths of the universe as the source for the Anantas, the only difference being the hindus give it a name.
