But how do they feel about fluoride?

I think we should cut these guys some slack. When you get right down to it, as hilarious as it is, this stuff doesn't sound that much sillier than the tenets and beliefs of most other religions. It's just that it's newer and not as familiar to us.

As if spaceships and E meters are that much more crazy than dudes walking on water and flaming bushes serving as God's microphone.

Most of us don't have friends or relatives that are Scientologists, but we have plenty that are Christians or Jews (or subscribers to any of the other 'real' religions), and so we don't pay Scientology as much mind. But it's no more laughable than any of the others.

They're all adult-versions of Santa Claus. And while most of them work to instill good morals and altruism, mostly they just succeed in deluding us and making us feel superior to they that believe in 'the wrong God'.

I got my mom the Barnes & Noble E meter for Christmas. I think it's called a Nook.

human in training, while I agree with you, I think the answer is not to ease up on 'scientologists', but rather put more pressure on the other religions as well.

@ frankieb:

Agreed. That's pretty much what i meant, despite the way i started off my statement -- that we should treat them all equally, as they are all basically the same. And it appears that i offended a few characters in doing so...Sorry that i'm not sorry, folks.

Fluoride was put on Teegack to burden humanity with body thetans and teeth.

What's with all the making-up-names to insult?
This article reads like a middle school kid trying to sound cool.
The Scientologists may be brainwashed but the way this is written, it turns them into martyrs.

this stuff doesn't sound that much sillier than the tenets and beliefs of most other religions.


This above is a standard line that scientology sock puppets use to distract. and it is BULL.

Hey Suzanna -- you're a dumbass.

Clearly you only read the first couple lines of my comment, otherwise you would've realized that i am quite far from being a "scientology sock puppet". Much like your skills at reading comprehension, i think Scientology is bullshit. My point was simply that it isn't alone in its realm of bullshitness, as it has great company with its pals Christianity, Judaism, Islam, etc., etc.

And are you seriously challenging my statement about the water-walking/talking, flaming foliage vs. spaceships/e meters thing? A couple of those things sound reasonable to you, do they? Are you one of those that thinks Jesus broke his mother's hymen on the way out of the womb and that all women are descended from some dude's rib, yet you dismiss as hogwash stuff that is just as outrageously and hilariously fictional simply because it's found in a book outside of the Bible?

Scientology is different from other major regions. "I am a tad old-fashioned: I think that a charity should be charitable. And charity is at the heart of all mainstream religions. St Paul assures us that we are nothing, if we ‘have not charity.’ To the Buddhist, the Christian caritas — caring for another without want of reward — is an essential teaching. Muslims believe that the giver should be grateful to the beggar, not the other way round. Jews, Jains, Zoroastrians and Hindus all teach charity as a principle virtue. Only Satanism and Scientology do not…"
