I find it very difficult to understand why people would fall for Scientology. It is based on a science fiction novel! L. Ron Hubbard was a science fiction novelist before he decided to start a religion.
The really interesting thing is that a few years before he released his book "Dianetics," he was quoted as saying in an interview that you don't get rich as a writer, if you really want to get rich you should invent a new religion.
And then he did. And he got enough stupid famous people with deep pockets to buy into it that he died a very rich man. Meanwhile there are people paying hundreds of thousands of dollars on "auditing" sessions while waiting for the mothership. Good luck with that.

Avery clever non secular chief sneaked off to Jesus one time and began asking Him non secular questions.Jesus instructed him that a guy or woman should be born of the Spirit of God to go into into the dominion of God....to comprehend non secular issues this is why each at times a guy with a pair of doctorates will say that query would not make any experience.there isn't any answer. And a 5th grader who has been born lower back will say" i'm getting it, this is basic compliment the Lord ! there is no longer something incorrect with springing up ones suggestions or doing a huge quantity of analyzing in different fields and matters.that's a different tale whilst one strikes out of the area of religion, and faith is what pleases God, and tries to intellectualize each little thing.It would not artwork.

Every stupid says Buddhism is Indigenous Religion no one knows it is modeled after Hinduism, Gautama Buddha, preacher of Buddhism was Hindu, he Lent and studied Hinduism perfectly and went on to preach his own Religion.
Hinduism is not a Religion it is a Philosophy, it does not give importance to God or Idols but gives importance on How to lead an Ideal life.
It is a Philosophy not every ordinary can understand , but if you have interest you can understand it.
Hinduism was not created by one person like Christ or Prophet, or Buddha, it was developed by scholars in every generation from 600 years back till one.
It has been peaceful till now because it wants its followers to aim at leading IDEAL life.

I'm with Bad Buddhist, Emptiness cannot be understood. But that doesn't make it false.

Christianity. How anyone could believe that a all-loving deity would burn people in hell for eternity just for not believing in him.
