→Changes: question for JoyousOne about a particular point raised
Thanks for your patience, Terryeo, I still want to make sure the point is in there about the contrast with Christianity. This is not to denigrate Scientology, even though I seems wrong to me, but to present the '''fact''' that its beliefs are basically antithetical to Christianity. This is pretty much in line with the goals of the website. Thanks.--[[User:JoyousOne|JoyousOne]] 13:49, 25 April 2007 (EDT)

: I wish to discuss, [[User:JoyousOne]], you state; ''On their official website, Scientology explicitly deny the power of faith''. I think the you are presenting a logical sequence, are you not?
::: (Scientology quote) ''In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true.''
::: (Dictionary quote) ''Faith - belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion.'' example; the firm faith of the Pilgrims. [http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=faith dictionary].
:I think i follow, okay? Do I understand you correctly, is that your line of reasoning that leads to, ''Scientology explicitly denies the power of faith'' ? [[User:Terryeo|Terryeo]] 14:09, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
== Beliefs ==
== Beliefs ==
How can it be said that Scientology does not have beliefs? That is pretty much impossible, or else reading their information would be like reading random typing by a monkey (and don't get me started on that). The explicitly say that they '''believe''' self-improvement is achievable in such-and-such a way, etc.--[[User:JoyousOne|JoyousOne]] 13:57, 25 April 2007 (EDT)
