I should re-word my thoughts.

A cult and a religion using textbook definitions are almost the same thing.

Christianity is equal to Scientology.

They have the same amount of concrete eveidence.

They both take you money.

They both have unprovable ideas behind them.

They were both made up by man, and if you say christianity was made
by god or jesus proove it.Dont think that i will recognize religious figures as facts just because so many others do.

Explain to me how Scientology is different from Christianity.

Is that your prom picture?
Did you go alone? I don't see a girl in the picture?

Tell you what, you believe what you believe. You don't really know anything you are talking about regarding Christianity. Any noted intellect or philosepher could tell you the same thing. Scientoligy is a joke.

You don't really want to know anything. You are trying to start a debate. What will this accomplish? You are wasting everyones time trying to make yourself feel better about the the choice you have made that lets doubt creep into your mind. You sit at a computer and try to make yourself feel better about it. You won't because you are wrong.

If you really want information or explanation, do some research. Find out what Christians really claim before you throw a faith in with a cult and call them both fiction. These "religous figures" like Jesus that you do not recognize exist. Ask a historian or an archeologist. There is more than ample proof that Jesus existed. This is not some made up story...it actually happened. Documents from secular (non-Jewish or Christian) government historians recorded the same things the Bible reveals with no contradictions. Jesus rose from the dead...Tom Cruise didn't.

Christianity believes in Christ. Scientology believes in "aliens", BIG diffrence there.

Scientology is new, Christianity has been around at least 2000 years.

I know alot about cults, and I think you need to look up the definition of it again. Good example of what "fits" a cult:

as a "cult" directly in North American English, a "sect" in British English or any equivalent foreign language word;
as a group in that organizations and sets of individual practitioners, including those named by their technical practice of cults, qualify as groups;
as such within the last 50 years;
as named by reliable sources to have not existed independently prior to 1920 in its substantially present form of beliefs and earthly practices;
as not qualifying as a personality cult (heads of state), fancult of popular culture, or group that doesn't have an actual following (fictional or self-nominated groups).

Prophecy. How could I demonstrate that I am above all the others and I am above the laws of this universe. A creator God would not be subject to the laws of this universe. He could violate them at will because He is outside them. He can manipulate the laws because they are subject to Him. He illustrates this by telling you things that will happen before they do. Prophecy is strong evidence that the God of the Bible is the God of this universe. Do a study on fulfilled prophecy to find out more.

"Explain to me how Scientology is different from Christianity."

L. Ron Hubbard is on record for stating that he created his own religion as a get rich scheme.

Neither Christ nor His Apostles Created Christianity for monetary purposes.

Got news for you. Christianity does not take your money. Where have you gone that they charge admission or demand payment? If you know of one, do not darken their doors. They are not Christians. You should willingly give your money though. How are they to pay their Pastor, the light bills (which are huge), and give to the needy. No, God does not want or need your money, if its so important to you. But his offer still stands, he is willing to give you the free gift of salvation. He paid your sin debt on the cross. All you have to do is accept it.

Allah says in Holy Qur'an in Surah Dhariat, Ch. No. 51, Verse No. 47 ‘It is We who have constructed with power and skill, the firmaments - and It is We who make the vastness, and the expanding universe’.

Allah says in Holy Qur'an, Surah Sabah, Ch.

The science discovered Water Cycle.
Allah says Holy Quran, Surah Al-Zumur, Ch. No. 39, Verse No 21 ‘Sees't thou not that it is Allah who sends down rain from the sky, and seeps it in the sources in the ground - in the springs in the earth, and causes sown seed of various colours to grow’.
