Yes they are. Hubbard needed some money, so he invented a "religion". Here are some good sites to visit.

I wouldn't say they are delusional, they are just faithful. They believe that Hubbard was inspired with the truth. Just like Christians believe that Jesus was the Son of God, or Muslims believe that Muhammad was a profit of God. Buddhists believe in Buddha as an evolved deity, Hindus believe that Shiva is a deity with multiple arms, Atheists believe they have enough data to dis-spell the existence of God and Agnostics just don't know.
Nothing delusional about Sociologists at all. They are just following a well versed profit, just like every other religion in existence.

Yep, pretty much. I mean, they may have been legitimately brainwashed into the cult, but to believe in such things is still delusional.
To tell you the truth, I have no IDEA where Hubbard got this junk. Probably from a psychadelic vision, I suppose.
It seems you pretty much know all about the ridiculous beliefs... do you know about the real danger that Scientology poses? Consider these examples (a few of many):
• Operation Snow White – Under this program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, and theft of documents in government offices. This program constituted the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history. Among the 11 prominent Scientologists convicted of this conspiracy was Mary Sue Hubbard, the wife of Scientology’s “prophet”.
http://lisatrust.freewinds.cx/scientology/snow-white/index.html
• Operation Freakout - Their campaign of sabotage and violence against Paulette Cooper, the writer who published her research and findings on several cults, including Scientology. Scientology’s official plan: to frame Paulette, ruin her career and reputation and get her sent either to jail or psychiatric confinement.
See the official plan: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Krasel/cooper/frk1.html
Free pdf of her book: http://holysmoke.org/cos/books/scandal-of-scientology-cooper.pdf
• Fair Game - the Scientology policy detailing how the organization may confront and handle critics and perceived enemies. Here is a direct quote: "Enemies may be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.”
http://www.xenu.net/archive/disk/fairgame.htm

• Violent Kidnapping - Lisa McPherson was a Scientologist, was involved in a car accident and resultantly became mentally unstable, was kidnapped by agents of Scientology, held against her will, refused proper psychiatric treatment and was allowed to STARVE TO DEATH.

• Tragic Murder - A CBS “48 Hours” special on Jeremy Perkins, the mentally disturbed son of Scientologist parents who refused to put him on the anti-psychotic drugs that would have stabilized him & prevented him from killing his own mother.

You first ask if all people merits 'a funeral' yet your final sentence says 'funeral provider'. the two are no longer the comparable. All ineffective people might desire to be disposed of in some way and that's 'the funeral' yet once you're asking no rely if or no longer all of them deserve a provider to 'see them off' then the respond is 'in all probability no longer' yet maximum do get one simply by fact people think of that that's the element to do. If somebody has been dreadful, hateful, risky, merciless, etc. to specific others then the thank you to in basic terms coach contempt for the guy is to no longer flip up at in spite of is arranged and take no section in the arranging. you won't be able to quit others arranging one in each and every of those functionality yet no-one is accountability sure to attend. i've got popular quite close kin stay removed from funerals and in simple terms bypass away others to take away the physique. it somewhat is their thank you to protest simply by fact of what the deceased did to them. it somewhat is comprehensible. the only option to having a funeral may well be to in basic terms unload the physique someplace and bypass away the animals manage it. it somewhat is against the regulation in the U.ok. as our regulation says that each and one and all our bodies might desire to be 'disposed of in a casket' of a few variety. we don't use physique bags right here yet coffins and the regulation calls for that no rely if the guy merits it or no longer. If the deceased left no money for his/her very own funeral and different relatives refuse to pay then the guy will get carry of a paupers funeral - a bare needs one.

all releigions started at soem point in time and as we say now various religions are so many years old..in a thousand years people will say scientology is a thousand year old religion.. people didnt believe in jesus straight away.. i guess "if all roads lead to rome." u can choose any road to get there whether it be through allah, jesus, buddha, krishna, ..we believ in spiritual guidance but these days people want something they can relate to and thus scientology.. wiht all the UFO sightings and alien life forms and planets etc scientology would appeal more to this generation i suppose.. but am old fashioned kinda.. i still believe in my scriptures

Yes.
(other religions are along the same ballpark, but scientology is after your money and doesn't care how much damage it does to you or others)
http://www.xenu.net/
contains all the information you need.
It's an evil cult designed to make money and nothing else . Its effects on believers are destructive.
Read "the road to xenu" - http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Library/Shelf/xenu/ - an account of a girl who escaped scientology after 12 years!
The cult's core belief - no, I am not kidding here!
"The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 5,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there "packaged".
His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants.
When through with his crime loyal officers (to the people) captured him after six years of battle and put him in an electronic mountain trap where he still is. "They" are gone. The place (Confederation) has since been a desert. The length and brutality of it all was such that this Confederation never recovered. The implant is calculated to kill (by pneumonia etc) anyone who attempts to solve it. This liability has been dispensed with by my tech development.
One can freewheel through the implant and die unless it is approached as precisely outlined. The "freewheel" (auto-running on and on) lasts too long, denies sleep etc and one dies. So be careful to do only Incidents I and II as given and not plow around and fail to complete one thetan at a time.
In December 1967 I knew someone had to take the plunge. I did and emerged very knocked out, but alive. Probably the only one ever to do so in 75,000,000 years. I have all the data now, but only that given here is needful.
One's body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body.
One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any preclear. Some large, some small.
Thetans believed they were one. This is the primary error. Good luck."

scientologists don't like anti-psyciatry meds because they are really a bunch of head-cases that would otherwise be on heavy psyciatric drugs that have serious side-effects.
Scientology is just an excuse for these people to not take thier meds and suffer the side effects.

You are the delusional one.
Or grossly misinformed at best. Where did YOU get this junk
from, certainly not from L.Ron Hubbard or Scientology.

They oppose psychiatric drugs because if people took them they wouldn't need Scientology.
