Who knows what the Church Of Scientology is?

Why Yes… yes It is

forgot to post this on my main question

The Unfunny Truth About $cientology - http://youtube.com/watch?v=rCGP-0545EU

The Church of Scientology was created by a man named L. Ron Hubbard back in the 50’s. He was a science fiction writer, who just a few short years before the introduction of Scientology was quoted as saying something to the effect of “If you want to become rich, create a religion.” For some odd reason, with this information (as well as the obvious science fiction overtones of the religion) people have still picked up on it. How did he make money off of inventing a religion? He charged people to join. In order to attain a higher “rank” within the church, you must “purchase” the rank. This is why people like Tom Cruise can be so high up the food chain, while random idiots never attain his status in the church.

I think its all a load of crap but thats my opinion

It is a religious cult and a financial scam all packaged together.

isnt that what the nut tom cruise was endorsing?

Well at least it is logical, and does not depend upon the presumption of unsupportable supernatural events. Read the book “Dianetics” it outlines Hubbard’s beliefs and gives a decent overview of Scientology. Remember a cult is any religion that differs from the one issuing labels. Roman pantheism had a cult for each “god” The Catholic church, when first created by the Emperor of Rome, was a “cult” so was “protestantism” and “Quakers” and “Bahai”. etc..etc…remember a heretic is anyone who disagrees with YOUR version of “GOD”. At least Scientology is ethically based, and does not engage or support polygamy, drug use, hypnosis, coercion, or big government. It won’t hurt you to read the book…it is not going to”make you” become a Scientologist, but it is better to judge from the perspective of knowledge, than from ignorance. and no, I am not a Scientologist, but I have read some of the books, and know a few Scientologists and they are not a bunch of loonies…actually they are regular very well adjusted folks.

Aren’t they all?
