Google "Scientology."
And don't pay any attention to "lost_one." He's nuttier than a fruitcake. Get your info from a reputable source:

Scientology is a strange religion that believes that aliens will one day come back to earth to get us all. They don't believe in taking any medicines for mental illnesses like depression. I don't know if they think the aliens don't like it or what.

It is a religion founded by a science fiction author, and its tenets include bettering one's self, resorting to violence when necessary, and harrassing the hell out of people in New Yor subways and trying to get them to pay for 'stress-tests' that are completely made up, and always tell you you're unhappy so that you will pay htem hundreds of dollars to tell you what the religion is.
I'm pretty open minded and tolerant, bust scientology makes about as much sense as an underwater bathtub.

Its a "religion" using the term loosely, made up by aliens that were here on earth some time ago. NO really, it is based on some alien teachings founded by a science fiction novelist named Ron Hubbard. On a personal note, the foundations of this religion(aliens), is totally proposterous, no ricoculous!!! Read the bible and then make up your mind.
God bless~~

Scientology is a cult.

It's a cult that really has nothing at all to do with religion. It's about money and power.

I am a scientologist.
We believe in forced drugging.
Forced ECT
We believe that most disobedient children have a mental illness and their problem can be corrected by drugging them with stimulants.
