Too late, Justin's stalker realized that she should have concentrated on Steve Phillips. #scientology

"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

That being said, the only person who can decide whether or not he's an addict is Phillips himself. But when your behavior turns your life upside-down, like it did in Phillips' case, it may be time for him to consider that he has a very real problem. #stevephillips

If you get caught cheating in grand style at work, a lot of things you listed can happen. But again, that's not necessarily addiction. It happens all the time and not all those folks are "addicts". Just because you are on, you can't assume anyone else who acts like an ass in this case is also one. #stevephillips

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
