Scientology

Since Scientology is obviously a cult rather than a 'proper religion', I decided to start a thread here for them...

Check out this story:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/26/AR2005112601065.html

If it were April Fool's day, I would suspect that the journalist who wrote this was making it all up for giggles...

I don't enough to really discuss this topic.
Tom Cruise as a savior.
Can't be good.

Then again Americans elect actors as Congressmen, Mayors, Governers, Presidents.

Isn't scientology based the writings of a Science Fiction writer or something?
Scientology really is too much like a cult to be taken seriously, if you look at the way they target people and brainwash them into joining.

I suppose the good thing is that there hasn't been a mass suicide of Scientologists...

I thought that it had to do with aliens brought us to Earth.

Same question who made the aliens.

Other aliens?

From my understanding (which is shallow on this "religion", granted), Scientology is based on some works of fiction by L. Ron Hubbard. They didn't sell too well, so someone thought to turn it into a religion. Helped book sales.

Not All Here

Based on fiction.
I guess then they can change the rules whenever they want.
No wonder so many are going that way.
