Scientology is NOT a religion. It's just something thought up by a science fiction writer, a bad one at that, trying to back a quick buck. It's just a sad day in our country that they get tax exemption when all of us honest people work our butt's off and have to pay through the nose.
It would be a good thing for the govt. to honestly look into this, but I am not holding my breath. An attach on this cult would rally the rest of organized religion to their defense, maybe even as filing as "a friend of the court". We must not forget the other cults in America, the political or academic cults. Also, the concept of thought reform as used in advertizing and marketing to try and bind us with debt and keep us as happy little consumers.
People can believe what they wish, but they need to pay taxes. If this stands true, than anyone can start a "church" for the exempt tax status! Pay your taxes people.
I belonged to this cult in the early nineties. I left with the statement, "I don't think happiness should have a pricetag." The sales dude then talked me out of my last five bucks before I could get away. Now they won't leave me alone, (junk mail) although I've called them several times and moved eight times.
The existence of Scientology proves that idiots are just a part of society. It's amazing that people actually sincerely believe this fiction that Hubbard created to get rich. This cult's tax-free status should be revoked; it is not a religion.

Lest we not forget the other wack-job scientologists; John Travolta (so sad), Kelly Preston, Lisa Marie Presley, Pricilla Presley, Juliette Lewis, I could go on, but I won't.
Any "religion" that feels a newborn baby should be born in dark silence and left alone for a week in a dark room is sick, sick, sick. Cults do all they can to weaken the family bond, and discouraging parents from those first few minutes of bonding will scar them for life, thus helping the cult in their cause to weaken the family unit.
I can't believe these people believe this stuff about scientology. But then again, in the Bible it did say that when the end days near...there will be false prophets, but you should not believe them. (not EXACT words, but it is what it means). I believe that this is nothing but a scheme to collect money and brainwash people into thinking that we were once aliens and all that xanu crap. I am just so glad that all 3,286 of us are smarter than those brainwashed spaz cats.
Scientology is a dangerous, cultist fringe group. In addition to the negative events of the past surrounding victims of scientology who have refused to take necessary medication for psychological diseases, Hubbard has used this organization, or psuedo-religion, for other motives, to extort millions and fatten his wallet. As a result, Scientology does not fulfill the requirements of tax-exempt status. In addition, it is a grave danger to the general public and to medical psychiatry.
They are psychos. I'm afraid of Scientologists because they are apt to believe anything. And do. And no, I don't want Tom Cruise to move to my neighborhood, LeeAnn.
Scientology is a cult. True religion does not measure who you are by the amount of money you have or give to the church. In a true religion, everyone is equal. Tom obviously, is proud of his status and position. After all, he paid his way on up.
By one defention religion is a set of BELIEFS, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader. On Scientology.org it says "In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything on belief or faith." Religion is built on faith in a higher power, a governor or the universe. People who have joined this cult have lost their faith and along with religion.
This so called church is just like many other churches because they do not walk the spiritual walk. Unfortunately talking the talk is what they are about. I have not seen a great deal of love comming out of the Church of Scientology. Apparently they have not ever heard the advice that my mother gave me when I was a little boy that was "If you don't have something nice to say about someone or to someone you should be quiet."
