"What do you mean, you don't want to answer that question? Do you or do you not have horns? Because I've heard that Jews have them."
"Look, I'm only asking as a journalist here. And since I'm talking to you in a calm voice, nothing I say should be considered offensive to you."
"Wait! Where are you going?"
"What a whack job." #scientology

I know practically nothing about Scientology, but if that's an appropriate analogy (meaning that Scientologists' literal belief in the aliens/volcanos scenario is myth based on hatred just as Jews having horns is), then I can certainly understand why the guy walked out on the interview.
Of course, maybe it's just a really crappy analogy and the guy that walked out is a nutjob for other reasons. #scientology

And we'll never have gay marriage, universal health insurance, and a black man in the white house.
If nothing else, the endless September was barely a decade and a half ago. And while the Co$ is declining in membership despite their claims otherwise, we (non-theists) are growing in numbers.
"There comes a point when you just have to protect yourself from the Chinese water-torture of not just Scientology... but all organized fantasies trying to keep humans believing in redemption, resurrection, afterlife, prayer, dogma, sacred texts, etc. "
We can want to not be annoyed by them, but you gotta let 'em talk. Ridicule is the way to combat them, not depriving them of speech. #scientology

Cult? Uhuh.
And that man is gayer than a Christmas tree. And a defensive little snit too. Seems that they often throw hissy fiits whenever they have to explain their cretinous beliefs. Time they were thoroughly investigaged by the department of Justice in relation to their tax status as a "religion" and their treatment of adherents.

This guy... he's probably just an OT III newb. A mere pussy on the Bridge to Total Freedom™! #scientology

This type of comment, this right here, is why religious people assume that all atheists are sociopathic monsters. "My beliefs are the only true ones, and everyone else is an idiot" sounds awfully similar to "you don't deserve to be thought of as human because I am the epitome of creation". #scientology

Haha, but you sure put an awful lot of words in my mouth. My opinion that people who buy into deity based beliefs are a little ridiculous in no way says that my beliefs are the only true ones (though maybe the only factual ones!), nor did my comment in any way dehumanize members of organized religion. Just made fun of them! Take a non-scientology approved mood stabilizer and calm down. #scientology

Also, wouldn't most people who follow a religion (Catholic, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, etc) be able to address their beliefs in the most basic, general way without getting offended, etc? #scientology

But sooner or later, they would answer honestly. Silly though these beliefs may be, they aren't secret. #scientology
