Scientology is NOT a religion. It is an interesting philosophy and supposedly was developed "into" a religion for the tax write-offs. Scientology did not get 501-c-3 status until the 90's when John Travolta convinced people in the administration to give it the status. The IRS had been after the group (actually groups, they make it very difficult to follow a money trail) for decades.

PS and yes, I've studied it; I actually find Dianetics very interesting, in particular. I don't subscribe to Xenu, though.

Both!

L. Ron Hubbard is reverenced as god by Scientology, which is very very deceptive organization that puts on a front of philanthropy and religion and uses certain celebrities to PR it's image, while engaging in extreme deception, greed and unfeeling ruthlessness which reveals it's true nature.

Below are just a few of Hubbard's unholy "Beastly-attitudes":

"Show me any person who is critical of us and I'll show you crimes and intended crimes that would stand a magistrate's hair on end." - L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Bulletin, 4 April 1965

"Somebody some day will say 'this is illegal.' By then be sure the orgs [Scientology organizations] say what is legal or not."- L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 4 January 1966, "LRH Relationship to Orgs"

"If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace." - L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 15 August 1960, Dept. of Govt. Affairs

"The purpose of the suit is to harass and discourage rather than to win. The law can be used very easily to harass, and enough harassment on somebody who is simply on the thin edge anyway, well knowing that

he is not authorized, will generally be sufficient to cause his professional decease. If possible, of course, ruin him utterly."- L. Ron Hubbard, A MANUAL ON THE DISSEMINATION OF MATERIAL, 1955

"When we need somebody haunted we investigate...When we investigate we do so noisily always."- L. Ron Hubbard, MANUAL OF JUSTICE, 1959

"So we listen. We add up associations of people with people. When a push against Scientology starts somewhere, we go over the peopleinvolved and weed them out. Push vanishes." - L. Ron Hubbard, MANUAL OF JUSTICE, 1959

"A truly Suppressive Person or group has no rights of any kind and actions taken against them are not punishable." - L. Ron Hubbard, Hubbard Communications Office Policy Letter, 1 March 1965, HCO (Division 1) "Ethics, Suppressive Acts, Suppression of Scientology and Scientologists"

I think it's more like a cult, you must follow the rules or else. I believe the same thing was going on back in the 1970's only it wasn't called religion, it was called mind control.

Yes ask Tom Cruise.

Yes, it really exists. Have you actually read any books about what it really is or do you feed your nightmare with the beliefs of people who have never studied it?

Yes. Weird, huh?

L. Ron Hubbard made up this "religion," just to see if he could. Apparently he could.
