What exactly is Scientology?

Answer 1

I personally belief scientology is a pseudo-science and a pseudo-religion. I think the Church of Scientology is a cruel dangerous cult that takes your money and your ability to reason enough to see so. See the links to important information on the internet about scientology.

To find out about the beliefs of scientologists from a neutral site go here:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/scientology
And more here:
http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/xenu

Then go here to find out what this critic things of scientology.

To quote south park creators: "This is what scientologists really believe!" in this controversial episode of South Park:" http://www.xenutv.com/cruise/sp-closet.htm

Now if they told you about Body Thetans, Implants & Xenu before you spend money 'getting rid of your problems' would you believe them? This is where the Church of Scientology steps in and is a dangerous destructive cult and is no longer just a belief. To Scientologists it may be their religion, I'm sorry my opinion offends, and hey if thats what they believe then thats fine with me, I don't have to believe it.

However the Cult of $cientology is another matter.

"The Church of Scientology is a vicious and dangerous cult that masquerades as a religion. Its purpose is to make money. It practices a variety of mind-control techniques on people lured into its midst to gain control over their money and their lives. Its aim is to take from them every penny that they have and can ever borrow and to also enslave them to further its wicked ends."

See here for the whole site, it is very interesting but horrifying reading, there is a wealth of critical information on scientology.

The CofS has been investigated by governments and taken to court many times. "Some European governments (including notably, Germany, Belgium, France, and Austria) do not consider the Church to be a bona fide religious organization, but instead a commercial enterprise and / or a cult." wikipedia.org/scientology

Here are the court files:
