I guess the people who argued over keeping a pedophilic album cover on Wikipedia have some obscure moral standard.

If you're in community college, I see a brilliant essay coming on. Title: Grostesque aspies on the net for for freedom and what they believe in.

Scientology... Ziontology... Sci-Ontology...

Anwho, no mention of the Mossad (Mossad Leefkeedeem M'tooskaleem)?

Also, did you know that these folks own a huge chunk of all the commercial properties in Hollywood?

I guess Scientology will now have to make all their edits anonymously.

@Joe Rider: Other religions have done some good too, and for better or for worse, did their part (over the centuries) on the path to what we have and what we are today.

Meaning: you can't just open up a bunch of store fronts and hand out a bunch of pamphlets and say "we should be given the same respect as Christianity".

I am anti-religious, but I'll give it to major religions: we have to put up with them... history is history. But fuck me if I'm going to accept to deal with a brand new pain in the ass with absolutely zero history to back it up. I don't want to hear about this Scientology shit, period.

Scientology is the stupidest made-up religion ever. Worse than the fucking polygamy loving, counterfeiting founders of Mormonism. Tom Cruise and Travolta should get the hell over themselves and come out as the gay power couple they secretly crave to be. Who on earth takes their messiah complexes seriously? I guess they have their heads up their assholes so far they really believe this badly-aging, bargain basement sci-fi pulp bastardizing America's freedom of religion, that this crap has a shred of credibility. It's the worst kind of opportunism, foisting a laughable mix of 1950s Martian mania and drugged out hippie "spirituality" on the mentally ill and wannabe actors looking to blowjob their way inside the industry. The fact these people have somehow bribed their way into tax-exempt status is a shame on America's rights and traditions.

I can never quite pinpoint just how I feel about Ol' L. Ron Hubbard. Part of me knows he's a giant asshole, performing home-abortions on his wife in front of his children, protesting psychiatry out of his own warped personal experience, in which psychiatry was an enemy working explicitly to destroy everything L. Ron ever made. ([www.xenu.net] Operation Clambake presents: The H-files, consists of all the letters Hubbard wrote to the FBI in his lifetime, note the egotistical paranoid madness! It's all commies and conspiracies!)

Another part of me is completely 200% jealous. There are lots of people out there who would love to create a religion and not have the competence to do it. In his reality, maybe he was right! He died with a fierce following and left behind a cult enamored in his image, preserving his twisted words and beliefs, even reissuing them to mask some of the original vitriol and hate of Hubbard. He didn't just hate psychiatry, he hated the gays, and had a genuine distrust of minorities!

So am I jealous of Hubbard? I don't know, not really? It must be nice though, to have people treating you like Jesus and then giving you their money! Is he any wronger morally for selling an invented contrived religion than our priests and rabbis? It's as though his madness gave him an evolutionary advantage, something we try to medicate out of our society turns out to be advantageous for some people!

Asshole, Entrepreneur, Faith Leader, Evil Megalomaniac, Paranoid Schizophrenic, Father, Prophet. How many of us can pull that off?

tldr; starting religion - inquire within

@LeeroySpitzer: Well, you seem to have emulated Hubbard's ability to use a huge amount of words to effectively say nothing at all..... so there's that.
