January 21, 2008 at 9:07 PM #140311RaybyrnesParticipantI am familiar with most of the statements made about scientology. But as a chatholic I am going to throw it out there that as unrealistic aliens might be how do catholics come off explaining the immaculate conception, Moses splitting the red see, Jesus urning water into wine.
Additionally I will throw out that the Catholic religion is based on the Crucification of Christ. Pretty morbid .
Last but not least, how many died in the Crusades over the Catholics faith mission to convert the world.
With that said I still hump it over to Sunday Mass with my fmaily. Not because of the faith but rather the belief that as with all religions there is an idea of right and wrong.
If putting horn on the devil and wings on an Angel helps someone understand this better than so be it.If a scientologist believes that there are aliens and this helps them to live a good life than I’m OK with that aswell.

January 22, 2008 at 9:57 AM #140625AnonymousGuestMy first piggington post ever! And it’s not even about real estate…
Anyway, regardless of one’s views on religion in general, there is a special silliness to Scientology. Part of the (possibly apocryphal) story of its creation was that Hubbard bet Heinlein that he could create a religion. In a way, believing in Scientology could be considered the most sacriligious sort of thing because it’s an ironically-derived religion. That sets it apart from other religions which at least have some history of true believers in their origins. Of course, perhaps history has lost record of such things in other faiths…but it’s doubtful.
Oh yeah, that and the legal redresses for “libel.” That’s a new religious twist!
What doesn’t set it apart from, say, Christianity or some other major religions are wild claims in its scripture. Nearly every religion has some version of scripture or oral tradition that, taken literally, tells of things that could never have happened or cannot be. Hence the conflict between reason and faith, eh? (trying not to offend…)
