In reply to your comment:
I despise Scientology as much as the next guy, but I'd like to point out that most of the negative stuff about it comes from the behavior and actions of the Church of Scientology. They're the ones who use deceptive and arrogant tactics. But as a religion, hey, we're all free to believe what we wish.

It's easy to object to Mormonism as well, but note that a lot of the bad stuff about Mormonism (polygamy, killing people) was dictated by the church itself, which has fortunately toned things down in recent years.

And one could do the same towards the Muslim religion, but it's really the more extremist sects of the Nation of Islam that believe that they must go out and kill all the infidels.

And don't think that atheists are blameless. They've done their share of persecuting those with religious beliefs.

All in all, it's not necessarily the entire religion itself that does the "bad" stuff, but rather the extremist parts of it. So don't be too quick to condemn someone for their beliefs when their actions and choices may not be so negative after all.


I'm sorry Sylvester_Ink, but I'm a former Mormon (AKA LDS)and nowhere in the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints there are no random acts of murder or violence committed in the name of the religion. There are many random acts of murder and martyrdom against the religion though (if you have ever heard of Joseph Smith you will know what I'm talking about).

And once the State (or maybe country) outlawed polygamy the church also outlawed it. Also people commonly mistaken the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Later Day Saints as the same religion (RLDS, which does practice polygamy illegally, the name Warren Jeffs comes to mind (fucking psycho)), but they are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, and the RLDS church no longer even recognizes the Book or Mormon anymore, and the two religions are not even associated at all, EVER. Please do your homework before you bash any religion again.

As far as Scientology goes, they are fucked up, and i have done my homework on them. Just remember the last lines of this video: http://www.videosift.com/video/Scientology-Orientation-Video-watch-it-while-you-can "...or you can jump off a bridge or blow your brains out." What kind of religion would tell people to do that or join their church!? It's fucking ridiculous! Scientology is more like a Tax Exempt corporation because you have to buy the e-meter readings and buy the books to "move up" in their church.
