Scientology...
Simply put, whats your view on scientology?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology (definition) I personally think that its rather silly, I don't really get into the whole inner being thing. I don't have a problem with people that practice it (or any other religion for that matter), but I myself do not want to practice it. So....what do you think? In general..

Re: Scientology...
Isn't that where religious people justifiy their viewpoints with science? If so, they're really bogus...

Re: Scientology...
Sounds like buddhism made for people that want to keep their material possessions.

Re: Scientology...
Basically, an oxymoron or hypocrites?

Re: Scientology...
readin that story there...reminds me of the tabloids my grandmother used to buy
but....xenu? wtf? sounds like a big science fiction story! also...xenu...is alot like my zemus! (the villian of ff4) what with freezing people, (the lunarians), wanting to exterminate earth's people(what zemus wanted to do) being in the core of the moon probably has nothing to do with that though... meh. im probably confusing everyone. but it makes you wonder if square thought of scientology when they made ff4? silly square! always making references to legends and religions...although scientology being an official religion is up to the person to decide. but, very interesting... |

Re: Scientology...
Let people believe what they want. Most religons don't make sense from the outside.

Re: Scientology...
Yes, but religions can be dangerous sometimes. I heard about this radical Mormon sect (in US) that branched off from most normal Mormons and had this community where their leader was portrayed as the President of the US. The kids were totally brainwashed, told that there was nothing outside their community. Some escaped to tell the story, and it was really creepy. Then again, I'm off-topic.

Re: Scientology...
But that's one branch of a religon in a particular place. I could say that dogs are great and you could say that there's one big dog in Florida who attacked someone. It wouldn't mean that all dogs are bad.

Personally, I consider scientology a cult too. It practices most of the things I mentioned above. It also gives its members special software for their computers that, unknown to the user, block out spacific sites that are critical of the "religion". Members are discouraged from having friends outside the cult and are also discouraged from maintaining ties with family who aren't in the cult. Take a look at these links for some interesting information about Scientology. Especially the lengths they will go to just to prevent any critisism of their "church" reaching the public. http://www.xs4all.nl/~felipe/cos/trouw.eng.html http://www.factnet.org/Scientology/censorware.html http://www.factnet.org/Scientology/c...ip_attack.html

Re: Scientology...
However, back to Scientology. I am I right about what it is? Or is it different? I'm not sure.

Re: Scientology...
I dont think most people would of heard of these unusual religions if it weren't for famous people joining them.

Re: Scientology...
I don't believe in RELIGION because it stresses what is not important.
The only thing that matters is ones RELATIONSHIP with God.

Also, Scientology must be one of the most ridiculous excuse-for-a-cult "religions" I've EVER heard of. I've actually read their foundation story (oh so epically written, bible-like), but, it's just way too silly to make any natural decent sense, and that for a scientifical belief! |
