Bollocks. The fact that the Pope had to apologise for something that only just happened proves that we haven’t evolved that much. Christianity still teaches that we’re a special, chosen people because of our baptism (and confirmation) and that the only way to avoid death or damnation is to follow Christ.

And I assume they still have laws in the US? The victims of Scientology can go to the police or sue. I mean - look what happened to the Branch Davidians - it’s not like the US government is incapable of attacking a cult.

If people want to believe in a naff Alien pseudoscience - universally slagged off in the press and by nutters who hate it - that’s their own look out.

You see, religions centuries ago had some issues. However, we as people have evoloved and shelves such nonsense. Scientology tries to be the authoritative oppressors of yesteryear. They are simply not up with the times. While they are taught that they are a higher lifeform than the rest of humanity (hom0-novis they call it), the instead marginalize the rest of the world as unworthy individuals who can be lied to, tricked, or destroyed.

The Pope just came to the US and spoke of the recent abuses within his Church, openly, apologetically, and acknowledged the damage done. Scientology will not do that, and instead lies about policies such as disconnection, fair game, and their stalking and harassing of exmembers and critics. David Miscaviage (COB as they call him) has never apologized or acknowledged the human rights violations and abuses of his ‘church’. All he has done has been to constantly rewrite/revise L Ron Hubbards work to be resold for more money all over again, and thrown his adversaries (and his wife) into RPF (Rehabilitation Project Force, or Scientology Jail).

So the whole Christianity/Scientology analogy…not really holding water.

Ah, no. Sadly, not everyone loves Mr. Cruise. And I believe his tanking box office non-appeal proves it. My hope is that he continues to poor his ill gotten gains into big budget movies that sink like a stone at the multiplexes. Then after he & his production company go broke we’ll see the final end of his sad career & persona.

Good riddence.

They’d have to go a long way to beat Christianity’s death-toll.

Or it’s infringement of human rights.

Scientology has a very long laundry list of human right violations, cover-ups, and intimidation /harrassment.

What do you expect from a criminal organization that touts themselves as a master race of evolved beings (homo-novis?)

Scary cult is S-C-A-R-Y

I would.

The man can’t do anything to shake my crush on him - go bald, marry Elton John - I’d still be watching Legend….
