to be honest, David, it seems Europe has much more balls when it comes to standing up to Scientology than the US.
I guess I must have missed something...
It's not like they are Heaven's Gate or in the Manson family or anything. Their beliefs of rejecting psychology and what not are no more outrageous than the beliefs of young earth creationist Christians, and they aren't a cult, are they?sergeriver wrote:
I dunno, maybe a bunch of assholes following a nutjob leader (watch the videos). This can't be considered a Religion, not yet. Maybe all Religions started as a cult. In fact, Scientology is not even a cult, but a business.
Creationism is really scary IMO. I don't know what they are man.SenorToenails wrote:

Do you buy music CD's or DVD's from labels and studios represented by the RIAA and/or MPAA? If so, do you support their litigious practices?miley wrote:

Some people call me apathetic...but at least I don't read Dianetics.
Do you have a real reason to label Scientology as a cult other than your own personal distaste for them?sergeriver wrote:

Thanks for the link, I know these fuckers are here too. And this wasn't a US bashing, this was a Lowing-like thread. Kinda you can't say Islam is invading Europe as you can't say Scientology is invading the US, sadly you missed the point.GunSlinger OIF II wrote:

iLulz at you. Cause Islam is far more like Christianity and the jewish religion. Scientology is far different than Islam will ever be.David.P wrote:
Because people here in the US have the balls to stand up to it. Unlike in Europe where the few that do are given death threats and branded as racists.
There really is no difference in the way Islam and Scientology operate.
Scientology has little hold on the real world. It is only significant because it's celebrity allegiance and shady cult-like ways. Plus, it has been caught in several lies as to bloating it's own image and grasp on the world. Making grand claims and being controversial is gonna draw attention, no matter how little the curch ACTUALLY is.
It has power, but no where near what it claims. Think of Hitler in the final stages of the war.
Still Scientology could be seen as the most succesful cult of the past 200+ years.
Celebrities deny, and definitely DON'T KNOW of the crimes the upper echelons. Whether the crims are real, or don't exist, is another matter.
The Majority of Scientologists refuse to even acknowledge any accusations, refuse to even try to looks at any other point of view, other than what thiey are told by the curch. THAT's the biggest problem, and one of the many reasons" brainwashing" is labeled to the CoS.

Take it easy there haus. My point was that while this is certainly not nice behavior, it is not unacceptable.miley wrote:

Whats funny is that UScientology is actually closer to the truth than Eurabia.
From wikipedia:
Cult typically refers to a cohesive social group devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture considers outside the mainstream, with a notably positive or negative popular perception.

Funny that the Vatican is one of the largest real estate owners in the world. Not to mention their art collection. But, I guess that is not business, it is what Jesus wanted.sergeriver wrote:

This post by sarge cements his disillusioned perception of the United States. You can shut the fuck up now. Thank you . Have a good day.
Scientology can suck a big brown piece of excrement out of my anal orifice.

Funny cam you're so quick to insult scientology when the group mentality calls for it, But you refuse to do so to Islam and infact you go outta your way to debate those speaking out against it. Tell me cam have you ever met a scientologist? I mean really met one, Not on the street passing by a guy selling dianetics books.CameronPoe wrote:
