Hey aren't scientologists worshiping a false god, a.k.a. Mankind?

Question

You know science is fun and dull after awhile like most human things. Yet, don't they understand they've gone too far? If I'm wrong, may I choke on my words, but I've lived soo long and I'm soo old and I still believe in Jesus. He's a good man, you know. He isn't dead as long as he is in our hearts and prayers.

Answer 1

I suppose.

I can't even begin to imagine believing in Scientology, and only that my entire life. With no hope...

Hmm
Sad=/

God Bless

Answer 2

I am an ex-scientologist and I feel you got the question right even though I dont think you meant to.

Scientologists believe that Jesus was a good man. In fact, the vast majority of the earth does. Most major religions (christians, alt-christians such as mormon and moonies), all of jewish faiths, all of the islamic muslim faiths, and scientology... all of them believe in God and in Jesus as a prophet. Even some of the eastern religions such as Confucious and Buddha I believe. Its only the christians that move him higher than prophet but most of the earth agrees in God and Jesus as a "good man".

However you could say that Scientology is a religion of mankind over God. They believe in God but not in prayers or miracles or "giving your life to God for guidance". They are into man learning how to be better man thru self-help courses and helping each other to overcome obstacles.

Answer 4

I agree, Jesus was a good man.
But I'm not sure what this has to do with Scientology.
Here’s a factual description of Scientology for you from an actual Scientologist, because you seem to have confused it with some kind of science or worship.

Scientology is an applied religious philosophy. By “applied” is meant that it is for use in life and living. It is about knowledge and knowing.You actually use it in your day to day life to chande and improve existing conditions. It is a practical religion.
All religions if you study them have a basic philosophy, but they also have certain dogma, rituals and observances and a certain faith or belief is required. There is nothing wrong with this , but Scientology is not that kind of religion. It acknowledges the principle of God or the Supreme Being but does not try to define or describe this principle, leaving it up to the individual.
It is also not a messianic religion. This means there is no worship of prophets or messiahs.
It is not belief or faith based. In Scientology a truth is true for you according to your own observation and experience .
The dictionary definition that applies:

Religion: The spiritual or emotional attitude of one who recognises the existence of superhuman power or powers.

The most basic principle of Scientology is that YOU are your own immortal soul, that this is not a thing you have but what YOU actually are.
Scientology believes or considers that Man is basically good. This is different from many religions that promote that he his natively evil or bad unless “made” good.

The whole purpose of Scientology knowledge application and procedure is to increase an individual’s understanding and awareness of himself and to rehabilitate his native abilities and potential.
When you do this there sphere and zones of his positive influence increases and moves outward into his life , his family and friends, his groups and Mankind of which he is part .

How this result is achieved is the “technology” of Scientology, which was developed by L Ron Hubbard from discoveries he made after extensive research into the field of the mind and the human spirit.
Some of this knowledge was already existing in the ancient texts of the Veda or Vedic Hymns going back 10,000 years. New and additional discoveries were made and fully recorded and codified .
Hubbard published 18 basic books from 1950 to 1953 to fully communicate these basic [rinciples and the path of his research. He completed all his research before his death in 1986 and left all his materials and copyrights to the Church of Scientology’s Religious Technology Centre along with most of his personal estate when he died.

The Church of Scientology is currently established iand operating internationally in over 160 countries world wide. However it is still a new religion, less than 55 years old.
The true story of Scientology as a religion goes like this:
1. A philosopher developes a philosophy about life and death.
2. People find it interesting.
3. People find it works.
4. People pass it along to others.
5. It grows.

This is just an overview.
L.Ron Hubbard explained fully the theology and technologies of Scientology in more than 500,000 pages of writings, including dozens of books and over 3,000 tape recorded public lectures. Hope this helps to clarify.

Answer 5

If you've got about 400,000.00 bucks, you too can be "clear" maybe... They believe that man is a God and Jesus was just shy of clear, the ultimate goal. Next time you go see a Tom Cruise or John Travolta movie - remember that. I do and I don't.
