So are you basically saying that while it's arguable that the older more established religions may very well be just as bad as Scientology [in my opinion potentially much worse, look at the impetus behind things as horrific as the Spanish Inquisition (Catholicism), the Salem massacre (Puritan Christianity and repressed sexuality) and 9/11 (Islam)] they're OK because there's the shred of hope that the ideology backing them is true?
I disagree with that on any and every level possible and if there were such a God that allows these things or by inaction allows these things, I'd rather burn in Hell for an eternity than spend a day with him/her/it and his/her/its followers.
Who's to say that the 'faith' that Scientologists feel isn't just as real as the 'faith' that the Christians who killed their own, or the 9/11 attackers had? I can't, no one can, short of whatever Higher Power may exist.
Scientology isn't dangerous, it's stupid, it has the potential to be dangerous but it isn't there yet.
Off topic shouldn't this thread get moved to the Religion and Politics section of the message board or is that place too niche and subterranean (as internet sites go) and in moving it there the debate will be killed?

I can see you dont support the organised religions which is fine but they are out of scope when talking about Scientology which is more a mind controlling cult crossed with a confidence scam than any faith/ superstition.

It's too bad not a single person in the media has had the balls to call any single Scientologist on this faux "overprescription" argument they pretend to believe in...

Please allow me to reiterate, you gullible schmuck. The only people who don't understand that scientology is a monumental scam that PT Barnum would have envied are credulous and exploitable fools like yourself.

LMAO @ this. I always thought the Church of Scientology was just the international chapter of ARC. Anyway, all hail Xenu, dictator of the Galactic Confederacy. Shame on you guys for thinking that he never existed.

Wrong again, zippy. You are apparently every bit as vacuous and credulous as those "famous" people whose approval you so obviously crave. What a putz you are.
