It is time these fruit-loops were prevented from endangering ordinary crazy people. Dont they get it that their founder was a (fairly ordinary)science fiction writer who made the whole thing up?? It offends me that they can call themselves a church, claim they are a religion and claim tax exempt status. If they were a charity I would have no problem with the latter. The gullibility of people beggars belief sometimes...

And just how does this differ to any other religion?

That aside, Scientology is dangerous and pervasive. Take, for example, the Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR). It sounds like a genuine organisation; however, it is simply an off-shoot of Scientology. France is taking the right move in banning Scientology and it is time for the rest of the word to follow . . . largely because it it the only way to protect the gullible.

As for your quotation, ""When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing - they believe in anything." I would change it to, "When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing - they believe in themselves!"

Now Stephen isn't editing out the bit where he's delayed "broadband to the bush" by a decade? Is he?

Well done Wikipedia!
Many ex followers have called to the FBI to stop the activities of this dangerous cult; It's time to get rid of these lunatics that brainwash the minds of vulnerable people, also is time this government do the same to banning altogether this cult.

At some point you have to draw the line, and Wikipedia drew the line. The site is not a site for propaganda and is not the place for self-promotion. Besides, the nerve of these people is ridiculous seems like they need to be taken down a couple o'notches: http://www.newsy.com/videos/religion_in_reference

Yaaaaaaaaaaaay And it's about Tom and all his scurfy mates were banned from everywhere humanly possible and probably other parts of the universe as well. I read that book once many years ago and what a jumbled mash of ideas that fellow had.I reckon Ron J. was on some seriously heavy drugs when he was writing.

There is some evidence that there were plants that had halucinogenic properties if eaten in the region where people claim to have seen Jesus walk on water. they just had a 2000 year head start. Now to hunt for the lost Wikkipapyrus scrolls of silicon valley

:) Ah yes Pauly but as we all know Jesus was just out for a bit of a wander around and on the lake :) Ron J. and his mob reckon they created
the universe. I take great exception to that being the mild mannered person that I am :)
