Any scientologist here? If you've heard of it, what'd you say about it? Why bother?

    Seems a new religion is burgeoning. All it preaches is humanity freedom, but as I see it, real freedom doesn't need any religion....

    It's been going around for ages. Big news reports about the brainwashing of people & how they're just after your money.

    The public persona that Scientology tries to present is MUCH different than their internal practices and beliefs. Rather than taking Scientology's beliefs at face value, do some research on both the church and it's founder, L. Ron Hubbard. Pay special attention to their mention of suppressive persons, squirrels, and their "fair game" policy. Read some accounts from ex-Scientologists..."A Piece of Blue Sky" is good, and can be read online for free. "Bare Faced Messiah" is a critical biography of L. Ron, and is worth a read as well. For comedic value if nothing else. ;)
