A lot of disrespect in this thread for religions such as Hinduism/Christianity/Islam, but lumping them in with Scientology just shows that you have no nuanced understanding of religion. | ||

To gain enlightenment you dish out more cash and disclose dark secrets or some shit. And if you ever try to leave the cult then they will basicially just blackmail you. | ||

When I saw that I thought that it would be a full video of scientology lemmings goodness  They should have taken some lemming level were you had to blow them up to get through walls or the one where you have to create blockers which you later have to blow up to win etc. | ||

Religions just ask for donations, you don't have to give to be a christian but they do sort of put a stigma/guilt trip on you if you dont. | ||

Anyone can be brainwashed; intelligence isn't a factor. It's all about when and how you undergo their conditioning. Hate the organization; pity/help the people caught up in it.

There is a big difference. Normal religions use a degree of conditioning and ritual presentation as part of their mythos. This helps promote the faith. Scientology is very different. Ignoring even the financial cost of becoming a member of the "church" (no other religion has mandatory payment requirements. They may say you're supposed to tithe, but they don't throw you out for not doing so), the big problem with Scientology is how they indoctrinate members. Normal religions give you a book. Maybe you undergo a ceremony or two (baptism, etc). Judaism may have it worst with the whole circumcision thing. Scientology is on a whole other level. It is indoctrination, plain and simple. They take people, separate them from their families, psychologically break them down, and then rebuild them as "good Scientologists." They tell them that anyone who isn't in the church is to be shunned, that psychologists (people who are trained to help break conditioning and indoctrination) are the epitome of evil, and so on. It exists to propogate itself while giving nothing back to its members. Most religions promote what we would consider socially acceptable behavior among its adherents (excepting those who've taken it too far, of course). They preach a moral code that is at least semi-reasonable and fairly compatible with human society (to varying degrees). There is nothing in Scientology that is compatible with human society. It is a cult; a group of people who are brainwashed and segregated from their families and former friends. | ||

A little caveat so as not to give the wrong impression - at least in Germany the church tax is only paid by members of the respective churches. i.e people affiliated to a church, who are not member of a church tax-collecting denomination, do not have to pay it. Like you say in Scandinavia it depends, in Iceland if you are not signed up with a religion it goes to their university system. I am not sure if Sweden has a way out of this and I think in Denmark and Norway it's obligatory one way or another. | ||

One thing people must begin to realise is there is extra terrestial forces in the universe and there is groups who know about them some have sold themself for power and wealth to part take in agendas scientology does fit such a description. So dont asume your alone and think there wackos for believing in Aliens because it could very well be that extra terrestials have infuelenced it development with a agenda in mind that you may live to see. Maybe you should study cultures warnings about 2012 and what it may hold... | ||

Bad precedent. Members of other religions do the same shit and are just as fanatical. | ||
