ACMESkydiver 0 #76 January 18, 2008 Quote Scientology is a pay per view religion. They don't give up anything for free. I don't understand how they can call it a 'legal' religion without...some kind of deity or something? At best it seems a form of philosophy. Shall we form our own religion based on the principles of aerodynamics? We can philosophize about the importance of delicious beers. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACMESkydiver 0 #77 January 18, 2008 Quote That and they say psychiatry is a pseudo science thought up by the nazis, and it is responsible for the holocaust and that chemical imbalances in the body don't really exist. I would love for one of the top psychiatrists in the country to have a sit down conversation with cruise about psychiatry and film the whole thing. -Of course I guess it could be false, but (according to the Wiki reference for L. Ron Hubbard) their fearless leader was found to have an anti-psychotic drug in his body when he died...hmm.... The Wiki ref is pretty harsh as I mentioned...and 3 wives? That's what I'm looking for in a spiritual leader! ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawyers, lots of lawyers! Lack of a deity was actually something that stopped Scientology becoming a registered religious charity in the UK several years back (although things have changed since then in the definition of religious charity). Apparently it took a 25 year legal fight in the US to be recognised as a religion and they're viewed with much suspicion in a lot of other countries.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
