okalb 104 #26 January 19, 2011 QuoteLast time I checked, the CoS had not organized any Crusades or Inquisitions. The CoS has not massacred non-believers, tortured anyone, burned anyone at the stake... The evidence supporting their beliefs is identical in all respects with the evidence supporting any other religion's beliefs. NONE. I was wondering if someone was going to mention that. Someone who is constantly claiming to be a follower of christianity making fun of other religions and calling them psychos is just plain comical. The only difference between christianity and scientology is that christianity has been around longer and has done a much better job of marketing. They have managed to convince a whole lot more people that their mythology is real. Give it a few thousand years for scientology to catch up. At the rate that they are growing, there will be just as many of those nuts as the christians.Time flies like an arrow....fruit flies like a banana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coreece 190 #29 January 19, 2011 QuoteLast time I checked, the CoS had not organized any Crusades or Inquisitions. The CoS has not massacred non-believers, tortured anyone, burned anyone at the stake... Religion is certainly flawed with the ideologies of evil men and CoS is not immune. It is relatively expensive to become a Scientologist. You shouldn't have to pay anything to know God. In Christianity, the price has already been paid. When I was living in Clearwater, Fl (the headquarters for Scientology) It was very disturbing to see all those automatons marching down the street like brainwashed pawns. It was reminiscient of the children in Pink Floyd's Another brick in the wall at 2:22: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_bvT-DGcWwYour secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

RonD1120 62 #32 January 19, 2011 QuoteThe same thing is "wrong" with it is the same as everywhere else. People don't want to take accountability and responsibility for their own actions/inactions. So they make someone else responsible: family, friends, a diety, the government, a doctor, a celebrity, etc. Many times what's "wrong" with the person is simply they think something is wrong with them. Rather than accept that or change something, they get their doctor to prescribe some sort of drug or they recommend some sort of drug. Granted, there are people out there with serious issues that do need treatment and medication, but most likely far fewer than are actually on them or simply just the wrong people on them. You are absolutely correct.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
