as high as you would have to be to believe in any religion. They are all cons/scams intended to prey on the weak minded and the weak willed.

Interesting nickname you have chosen for yourself.
The answer is "drugs" and "belief" have absolutely nothing to do with Scientology.
Here's why:

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. When I say "applied" I mean you actually use it in your life to change or improve existing conditions. This is different from a religious practice. All religions if you learn about them have a basic philosphy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances, and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this, but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It does not intrude on anyones faiths of beliefs particularly in the area of God , the Supreme Being, or the Infinite. This area is left totally up to the indivdual, which is why you can be a practicing Jew,for example and still use and apply the priniciples of Scientology in your life. It does not conflict. If anything it will enhance your understanding of your chosen religious practice.
You can have no specific religious beliefs and still benefit from using it.
And it is only true for you according to your own observation and experience with it.
It is a non denominational religion . The dictionary definition that applies:
Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a "thing" you HAVE but what YOU actually are.
The whole purpose of Scientology is to increase an individual's understanding and awareness of himself. And thereby his native abilities .
When you do this the sphere and zone of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life, his family ,his friends, his groups and mankind which he is part of.

How this result is achieved is the "technology" of Scientology, which was developed by L.Ron Hubbard after his extensive research and the discoveries he made, about the human spirit. The basic religious philosophy and knowledge of Scientology is very old, going back 10,000 years at least to the Veda or Vedic Hymns from the East. The developement of the technology is new.
He completed his research before his death in 1986 and left all of his results and copyrights
to the Church of Scientology along with most of his considerable estate., when he died.

He published a book in 1951 to communicate the basic principles he discovered called: " Scientology The Fundementals of Thought"
There are currently over 8 million Scientologists in more that 150 countries world wide. However we are a new religion, only 53 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

Note the absence of anything about "aliens".
Maybe if you got up off the TV couch and didn't rely entirely on the TV and media, or various bogus websites for your info
about life you wouldn't be asking questions like this one??
(But then again.....maybe you would anyway)

EXACTLY BUDDY!!! I have been asking that since the whole buzz hit the scene!! I mean Come...On!!

What kills me the most, is that when ever its referred to they say "Scientology, (Formed, Created or Led) by SCIENCE FICTION writer L.Ron Hubbard".

I mean if the guy wrote/writes Science fiction, don't you think that there could be some (or All) FICTION in his SCIENtology.

Compared to what other religion?
At least they arent asking anyone to believe in it. You can even attend their services nd take their courses without converting. So again I ask, compared to what?

Somewhere between thinking that you can fly by flapping your arms and thinking that you can't lose by buying that extended warranty. Roughly somewhere in the middle of that.
