I think Scientology is a cult… a greedy one… and it should be banned or something.

Discuss. Serious business.

cults should be taken seriously I think… I mean think how much money people pour into it and all the misinformation they are made to believe…

I mean if it’s very cult like… it’s mega serious business, ultra.

When it comes down to the bare bones, I think Scientology is just like any religion – people within the same faith use religion for different reasons, they put emphasis on different elements of the religion, and most importantly – they have religious believes that can be entirely independent to themselves. The god of a pro-choice Christian is not necessarily the same as the god of a Pro-life Christian. Your faith is always something unique and personal to you.

And in this sense, you have different kinds of Scientologists. For instance, you have Tom Cruise (probably THE poster boy of Scientology) who publicly lashes out at and browbeats any opposition, jumps up and down on Oprah’s couch, smiles wide for the paparazzi, etc., generally drawing negative attention to the faith. Adversely, one of my favorite musician’s, Beck, is a Scientologist, but practices in a dignified, solemn way, and is more concerned with how the religion helps it’s members than how people judge him for practicing, etc.

In the end…I can understand, and, in some instances, agree that Scientology is a cult, or exhibits cult-like behavior. But Scientology is also one of those cases where people judge it based on a generalized overview, and ignore it based on the personal, popular level.

however you try to look at it they still remain a cult.

They tend not to like any critique against them. I haven’t heard of the Vatican suing people for mocking their religion or calling it a cult in the 21st century.

Scientology doesn’t take no for an answer and doesn’t respect people who decide to leave Scientology because they have opened their eyes and decided not to believe in their theories. When I quit frequenting church I didn’t haven’t been stalked by my church even though most people there knew me and my family, neither did anyone bug me (unless people pbuming greetings to me qualifies as bugging), nor was I spammed mbumively by the church except for the collective Saturday evening suppers for which I specifically asked to be bugged for since I out of student-principle do not refuse an occasion for FREE FOOD.

The Holy Catholic Church also respects the secrecy of confession: never have I heard any secrets of any friends leave the confession booth, nor has any friends of mine ever been blackmailed by a priest. I’ve never even heard any secrets from friends in non-catholic churches leave the building even though I know many members often share secrets with reverends at the church for advice and yet in most countries in non-catholic chuches secrets are not even legally protected concessionary secrets.
