mLine 29:
Line 29: − − == Scientology, while internally consistent as far as I can tell,... == − Is almost certainly bullshit. Let's look at a few easily verified facts (this was all done from memory, but Wikipedia verifies most of this. The article there is much less active than here, because it's been locked and all edits must be submitted for extensive fact checking. As a result, it is pretty trustworthy): − − # L. Ron Hubbard, the man who founded Scientology was a science fiction writer. He found little success though. − # He once told a friend that the best way to make a million dollars would be to start a religion. Less than a decade later... − # Scientology conceals many aspects of the religion from it's own members until they have "progressed" far enough. − # Becoming a Scientologist costs a fair amount of money. One must pay for E-meter tests, which don't actually cost more than a few cents to perform, as well as pay an entry fee, buy several books (all printed for a profit by Scientology owned companies, not public domain like nearly every other religion's holy book/s), as well as numerous other "hidden fees" in cell phone commercial parlance. − # L. Ron Hubbard, rather than being involved in or even practicing his religion, has allegedly committed several acts of larceny and fraud, and at the time of his death was a fugitive. − # There are many instances of Scientology using various means, legal and otherwise, to exact revenge upon anyone they view as a threat. − − Basically, Scientology is a semi-fraudulent money making venture masquerading as a religion.

The fact that some Christians take the story of the flood literally does not indicate that they are corrupt. It does indicate an appaling lack of intellect.--[[User:1048247|1048247]] 15:23, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
