Before scientology, L.Ron made a statement: If you really want to get rich, start your own religion. guess what,.... a couple years later up popped L Rons new religion, Scientology, based on the premise of toleration, that anyone should be able to choose their own Idea of what God is and worship that. It does not lead anyone away from Chirst, but, it does not lead anyone To Christ either, you simply worship whoever and what ever you want, and pay your tithe to the church. this is not a safe place to worship. might find it all for not one day.

"What are the excuses/motives of/for coming up religions?" a faith supplies a measurable survival benefit to its individuals. type of like how an ant colony reward from communal habit, and the member ants do more desirable proper too (on popular). "What intrigues the most looks the excuses scientology replaced into created?" LSD. almost were given one with "Stranger In a wierd Land", yet Heinlein's spouse kiboshed that, if Heinlein himself might want to have enable the funny tale run on lengthy sufficient. "Are the applications themselves stated interior the religion?" no longer in such various words. to well known the objective, is to think about options, and then motives of a artwork it is often attributed to God, yet is in reality penned with the help of guy. "Is enlightenment of the Buddha a reason for faith," Buddha would not say so... "basically as a lot relativity of Einstein is the reason for the present status of physics?" Enlightenment is amazingly like revelation, it is authentic. lets be in a diverse position with out Einstein, for particular. If faith did not disallow homosexuality and abortion, international populations might want to be a million/10th what they're in the present day. in view that Earth is suffering lower than more desirable residing, quivering meat than this planet has ever considered in heritage, faith is killing the planet. So faith very a lot shapes the international in the present day. And technology is straining to shop us all alive...

to get people to read dianetics and think they are really screwed up and need the "classes" scientology offers at an outrageous amount of money to get themselves and keep themselves straightened out. I have read dianetics and it was obvious to me that it was an attempt to scam folks out of their money by blending self help psychology and semi religous overtones into a manifesto of self empowerment ,

Money, Money, Money!! Must be funny!! In a scientology world.
Thats why they aime for the film stars and people at the top, they have money and want to jam a load of 'scientology' crap into your fixated brain.
If youve watched the Simpsons, the same thing happened to them.
The Leader took money of the people of Springfield and tried to build a 'space ship' but really stole all their money.

Scientology is a cult. The only significant thing about it is that it leads many people in the wrong direction while lightening their bank accounts.

Hubbard famously said that the only way to make real money would be to start your own religion...a few years before he started his own religion, funnily enough it's one where you have to give money to the church....

Scientology is all about getting your money. And your mind. Tom Cruise is living proof of that.
Scientology is nothing but an occult.

Money.
Don't have a whole raft of experience with it, but they are smart and excellent at targeting vulnerable people with the right information, presumably that's how they seemingly get so many converts.
