Are orthodox Christians scared of the spread of Scientology, a fast growing faith among 'No-religion' people?

Answer 1

The 'No religion' people are not attracted to wards Scientology as a substitute to Christianity. Hence, there is no question of fear psychosis with the orthodox Christians vis -a vis the Scientologists.

Answer 2

What is an orthodox Christian? Why would any Christian be afraid of the nonsense being spread about by a few who are swindling money out of the weak minded among us? You call it a faith, but say it is for no religion people. That is contradictory. The people who should be afraid are those with no faith and no strength to resist these charlatons.

Answer 3

No, Orthodox Christians are not scared of the spread of Scientology.

Answer 4

I don't believe we are "scared" of the spread of Scientology. We might be sad watching people join cult like organizations; but not scared of the religion. Christians have no reason to be scared of Satan!

Answer 5

Fast growing? PT Barnum was right. Scientology has done wonders for Tom Cruise box office numbers.

I'm not scared. It's more of a hard belly -laugh I get.

Answer 6

Hee-hee. That's a good one. Afraid of Scientology, uh no. The only people who have something to fear are those who don't accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I'm secure in the knowledge I will be spending eternity in paradise.

Answer 7

in the area of newshounds on its good website the LDS church quite states that it makes no declare to be the quickest growing to be Christian church. EverydayCatholic probable gave you the respond you have been finding for (even however those stats are old as a results of fact the LDS church basically clocked 13 million individuals) yet those issues are complicated to decide. maximum church homes do no longer save precise club information. There are a myriad of little autonomous church homes, many times evangelical, which might settle for one yet another as Christian and could be growing to be yet do no longer determine in the statistics. i think of it quite is uncomplicated to declare that: The evangelical/pentecostal church homes are growing to be very quickly, yet are no longer amassing or collating suggestions on club and don't of course define what club is. The Catholic church is growing to be yet many times as a results of beginning expenditures in Catholic families, and because entire international places of human beings stumble on themselves as Catholic without ever placing foot in a church. The LDS church is growing to be progressively, and does save precise and clearly defined club information, yet does no longer distinguish in the figures between people who're energetic (attend church as quickly as 1 / 4 or extra often) and people who're much less energetic. My experience seems to be that some million/2 our ward are energetic.

Answer 8

Well I have trouble being "Scared" by a bunch of nuts who believe that we humans are the result of aliens implanting seeds of souls in an interplanetary war and are waiting for the spaceships to come and take them.......

Answer 9

I hope no I'n a Scientologist and a Christian too.

THIS IS SCIENTOLOGY

1. What is true for you is what you yourself observe to be true.

2. Man is his spirit not his mind or his body.

3. The spirit creates his own mind. Please, do not confuse the mind with the brain that is a physical thing. The mind is composed of mental image pictures as explained in Dianetics. These pictures serve the spirit to give him knowledge and experience. These pictures are composed of energy. The energy in the picture can affect the spirit. You can feel better by remembering something that you like or angry by remembering something else. These emotions are actually energy waves emanated by the picture. You can actually feel pain by remembering a pain memory. Sometimes these pictures are accompanied by ideas or considerations. Lets suppose that you father beat you mom up in front of you. Your father was the dominating figure so you might conclude that you have to act like your father in some situations. This is what we call on Scientology an aberration (a conclusion that is imposed to you by a mental picture). This picture is what we call a engram (a pain memory that affects your judgment and free will).

4. You can discharge the energy in these pictures through communication. This is Dianetics Auditing and is the oldest of hundreds of Scientology techniques used to improve the individual.

5. The Spirit creates his own emotions. Are you happy? Are you sad? Are you depress? Maybe you think that something external of you is creating your emotions. Maybe you believe that you are sad because you had a bad day or maybe you believe that you are happy because you had a great day. And this might be true. But who made the decision that you had a good or bad day? You did. You decided if life was good or bad, and adjusted your emotions to respond to your own consideration. You created your own emotion.
Some people are born with everything they want and are still unhappy. And others are born into humble means and are happy. What's the difference? The only real difference is each person's ideas and considerations.
Scientology uses hundreds of processes in order to help a person get a better understanding and a better outlook in life by using his own observations.

6. Scientology Ethics. Ethical people take full responsibility for their actions. Un-ethical people blame others for their actions. "Wrong doings" diminish and deteriorate the freedom of the spirit because the need to justify the "wrong doing". So the spirit is enslaved into repeating the "wrong doing" in order to justify the original "wrong doing". The road to freedom lies within taking full responsibility for your personal condition and actions, past, present and future. Scientology provides the tools to help the person able to be fully responsible over his life thus rehabilitating his ability to be good and self determined.
Also Scientologist base their conduct on a non-denominational code of conduct. http://twth.org/eb/?id=16664j

7. Scientology and God. Scientology acknowledges the supreme being and promotes the individual search for closeness to God trough religion.

8. Scientology vs Psychiatry. Psychiatry believes that self awareness, feelings, love and faith is merely cellular activity. Basically they think that you are your brain and you are not in charge of your behavior but your cells are.This is a totally materialistic point of view that denies the spirit and God. Psychiatrist is a pseudo science because it is based in principles that are false. Psychiatry have never proven that any "mental illnesses" (like they call it) has any connection with a physical illness. Any Neurologist will tell you there are no medical test to identify a "mental illness". All Psychiatrists base their diagnosis on opinion and opinion alone.

Happiness, exhilaration, depression and psychosis are states of mind, not diseases. All what you have to do to stop being depress is change your state of mind. How you do that? By changing your ideas and considerations. Scientology provides the tools to achieve a better state of mind in accordance with your own point of view.
Also Psychiatrist excuse the most horrendous crimes as mental illnesses. This is actually creates a sense of irresponsibility in society because it tells people that they are not responsible for their actions. Second they promote that drugs are the answer for your problems. This message promotes the use of drugs to find release from life and creates the current drug addiction problem in society. Drugs will only give you temporary false release but will never solve the source of your problems.And actually drugs will keep you away from finding a true spiritual release.

Note: Scientology doesn't have anything against Psychology or Neurology. Also the mere awareness that you are a spiritual being and not a body makes you better person.

9. Scientology is a force for good in society. Scientologist fights Psychiatry, the pharmaceutical companies, criminality, http://www.criminon.org and drug addiction. http://www.narconon.org Also Scientology fought and won against the FDA and the IRS. And Scientologist initiated the social reform group "Youth for Human Rights" http://www.youthforhumanrights.org and the movement "Say no to drugs and yes to life". http://www.notodrugs-yestolife.org
Scientologist are some of the more intelligent, able and successful people in this planet. Including Jenna Elfman, Kelly Preston, John Travolta, Priscilla Presley, Sofia Milos and Leah Remini. Even Danny Masterson from the that's That '70s Show is a Scientologist.

10. Scientology and aliens. The story of Xenu is just a fable like the story of "Jonah in the Whale" in the bible. Fables are not intended to be taken seriously. The story of Xenu doesn't have any significance on Scientology beliefs.

11. Scientology is so advance and so different that people can't understand it. People think that they know everything there is to know about life. And when they see Scientology they jump to conclusions when in reality they don't have a clue what are they talking about. The reality is that man attacks what he can't understand.
Anti-Scientology propaganda is just that, propaganda. It is false, bias and untrue. If you wanna know about the lies in this propaganda machine see my blog: http://www.myspace.com/129727315
