One of the banner adds at the top of the page just had a really vivid Scientology advert.... i feel really really sick now Im all for Viagra, Russian brides, and being told i am the Winner "click here" but Scientology :S

Cults have banner adverts?! WTF?

Sorry that needed an urgent fix

LOL

I see your point, but whether or not we like it, Scientology is a full-blown Religion and is recognised as such by governments. If you actually read their manifesto it is no more crazy than Christianity or Islam.

True, but I still like the fact that France doesn't see it as a religion.. they see it as a cult. Who knew the French would have the right idea?

Can't argue with that. I just can't stand Scientology more so than any the others. Though I do have to commend Scientology on one thing: they keep the idiots in one place, if you are dumb enough to pay to gain some level of 'spiritual enlightenment' its nice to know someones keeping tab.

I can block banners. Click on it next time and pass me the url behind it so i can block it for the future!

I'm worried though that if i click the banner, the computer will take over, and scan my face. Which concerns me as the main issue with Scientology is that they perform black bag ops, and ill have that midget tom cruise and his lackys jumping out of van and taking me away to that same warehouse where they store the arc of the covenant in the Indiana movies.

Gotta hand it to Tom though, he managed to go through 10mins of video without saying anything...

YouTube video
(pretty sure thats the uncunt uncut one all i think when watching this is, when the bloody hell is the song gonna drop )


My view; Like pretty much ALL over religions (mostly) they are all based on a Fictional Book written by man; in the case of Scientology... its a science fiction book.
I'm trying to find the south park clip where they explain the religions concept in full detail.

I think Scientologists would scan your bank account rather than your face, before they commit to any black bag ops.

Fair enough - I am just curious (and I am assuming you are an atheist here - you certainly strike me as one) as to why you think that a religion that wants money and makes it part of its practice of worship is somehow worse than a religion that wants money but lies about the fact. If people choose to find "spiritual enlightenment" through a process that costs them financially so be it. It makes equally as much sense to me as any other method. As I say, its not like the Church of Scientology is being dishonest - far from it in fact.

I'm not an atheist, to be honest I don't know what I am, I don't really mind religion, I have no problems with people following religion so long as they don't make me see what they see. I don't really believe in god but I do think that theres gotta be something out there, if there isn't then it makes it even more depressing the way we're carrying on down here.

Go on! Look at it!

yes, look at it...and see how christianity saved us during the dark ages. sure, history proved they're filthy, filthy rich, bloodthirsty and a bunch of others.. but back then, their support for arts was pretty much what kept us from going back to the stoneage.

To be honest with ya I think its a case of 'I just do', no real reasoning behind it, I just can't stand them. Quite the cop-out, i know but I can see ya point about it.

Comparing scientology to other religions is rather silly since I can see why there is so mystery behind the other ones since they are so old. With scientology there is no mystery, it was recently created from a science fiction writers mind. I'm an atheist but to say that religions cause more evil than good is rather ridiculous, the evil is just more publicised than the good (religious fundamentalists are more interesting than the majority of normal people)

In history religion has held things back, and still does, especially in the eastern world (Islam is slowly becoming more like Protestantism, but both Islam and Catholicism still has a way to go yet). I'm pretty sure that most Protestants believe in evolution etc...

I can be confident in saying that religious people are more likely to give to charity than atheists or agnostics, pretty sure the statistics were like 90% of religious people vs 66% atheist.
