Personally, I, too, think it is full of crap. I see it as a business disguising itself as a religion. But, after hearing about multiple protest, I begin to wonder- why bother?

I think that the "religion" will eventually undo itself. If anything, multiple small-scale protests on a large organization will only make it become more defensive, thus increasing its strength. I believe people will eventually see how weird it really is, and the organization will recieve fewer and fewer members, until it is virtually nonexistant. However, the attacks need to lessen- poking a bear with a stick won't do you any good.

Plus, if someone's silly enough to give money to such an organization, well, in a way, they deserve to be swindled. They need to realize the silliness behind the organization themselves. It's the only way.

Alright, discuss. Is Scientology a harmless religion? Is it a corporation built by lies? What do you think?

I agree with you fully. It's based on money. That's all the head honchos care about, it seems.

And you're also right about the downfall: let it destroy itself from the inside out.

I could care less. So they want money. Alright? If you're not in it, you don't have to pay money! What's the big deal? They're not the first religion to collect money from their followers. Zoom back one thousand years or so; Catholicism did the same thing. It's nothing new and I don't care about the McPherson story and Anonymous "protesting".

I could care less on what people can believe. Some can believe in Christianity, some can believe in Islam, some can believe in Atheism, and some can certainly believe in Scientology.

We shouldn't be able to shun out one religion whether or not it's beliefs sound rediculous.

i dun get eet

No seriously, I don't understand the religion at all. With most other religions, they've stemmed from some kind of old text or belief, so it's easy to track down what they're about. I'm having trouble understanding Scientology. I'm not saying I HATE HATE HATE it, but it's hard to take a side when you don't get the subject. :/

From what I can gather from society, 75% of the world seems to want it to burn in hell, 10% of the world is part of it, 10% of the world wants it to stay anyway, and 5% of the world is on the 'huhwhat? ._.' side.

Solution: Don't join the church in the first place hurrrrr

I trust there are people that don't join the church if they don't like it, right?

Scientology is just disturbing. That's all I want to say about it.
