The height of Christian arrogance is when they judge something evil and they have no clue what the hell they are talking about. It always makes me laugh.
Oh yeah, Ive never seen a Scientologist genocide a whole race of people because they are different from them, or i've never seen a Scientologist demean and suppress women. I'm happy I can go through life believing i'm not from the rib of a man, and you call Scientology stupid.

1. believe people are plagued by aliens
2.think any family should be torn apart from their loved ones for not "believeing"
3. think that depression is not a real disease and can be cured with herbs, vitamins, and excersize.
Where did you get the idea I was Christian. I have questions on every organized religion.....
Their "Thetan" stuff goes on and on. I've been to the one in LA and the one in Houston and they are into some pretty nutty stuff. If a woman cannot scream in pain during childbirth it is opression.........
I have studied world theology and this falls under "new age, cult" It was created by man not passed on from generation to generation. It has no artifacts, no ancient teachings, only the hope of one day paying enough to be given the "secret" to life.......It's damn good marketing i will give them that.
The more you pay the closer you are to "the truth". That's an all out scam. What other religion outright ASK you to not stay close to your family if they will not convert? Not a 1, yet a cult does exactly that. What religion teaches to disolve a marriage and take the children and teach them Scientology if the parents are non believers?
Even the Quo'ran teaches they try to convert the Khaffir's with patience and allow them to find their path to Allah. Islam teaches to encourage people to join by the moral example you set. I'm not saying the extremist are correct yet the Ismaeli Muslims are the most peaceful tolerant muslim people I know of. More so than the Sunni. And Don't get me started on the Shiite's
Why do the people that protest Scientology have to hide behind masks? It's damn sure not because that pesky Tom Cruise is going to hunt you down go to your house and jump on your couch is it?
I don't believe aliens were frozen and dumped in a volcano. If they are why arent' the Scientologist jumping into get them. I've seen the artifacts at the vatican so where is the Zenu stuff held? Christy Alley ate it?
As I was stating they fall into New Age teachings. They are a cult. Cults are secretive and controlling just as is Scientology. Religion ( right or wrong) is based on ancient teachings well accepted throughout the world proven or believed in based on artifacts like oh say......The Dead Sea Scrolls.....Almost all religions believe in the science of the mind, psychology and believe the mentally ill should seek help with therapy. Even Catholics have therapist at Catholic Charities. Scientology preaches against it. The crazier you are the more likely you are to give your money to them..
Christians don't use "Fair Game" as Scientologist do to try and get you not NEVER speak of it if you leave their "church". I suggest you research the "Fair Game" methodolgy. This is the USA, we are not supposed to do that to people for the same reason we don't have Sharia courts....It goes against the constitution and OUR freedom of religion. One should feel free to leave as they wish. It is in fact a cult. I went with a friend and saw this with my own eyes and heard it with my perfectally pinned back ears! They are a secretive cult.
Squirell I agree with you. That is why I want my own religion....hey make money hand over fist and don't pay taxes. Seems like a damn good racket to me! Plus I get to be the leader of it! Hells yeah I want one....
Miss. Paige,
I've been GIVEN many version of diffrent religion bibles or books on belief systems and no one asked me for $2000.00 to go to the next level....
Scientology
