    Default Discuss Religion Here

    I just thought it would be nice if instead of clogging up several threads with discussions about church being evil etc that perhaps it was all done in one place. The end.

    Golf is, in part, a game; but only in part. It is also in part a religion, a fever, a vice, a mirage, a frenzy, a fear, an abscess, a joy, a thrill, a pest, a disease, an uplift, a brooding, a melancholy, a dream of yesterday and a hope for tomorrow. - New York Tribune, 1916.

    It involves Thetans and Xenu, the intergalactic dictator. This article should assist Jack.

    There was only ever one religion around my way growing up and there was only one Wombat. Do not worship false idols.

    Same as Christianity, they just got to the party a bit late and find acceptance hard to come by.

    That's pretty harsh on scientology Moe. At least they have stuck to their guns and defend one version of what they believe in. As opposed to splitting into strict versions, watered down versions, re-written versions, pc versions, convenient versions - and then having random people interpret them all in 1000 different ways depending on who you are and where you live.

    I kind of admire them really. Their story is no less believable, but they are generally 100% committed to it.

    So you think scientology is a religion?

    I prefer cult.

    Have you read and observed what people have said when they exit from it.

    Why is scientology any worse than Christianity? Why does it get labelled a cult, while Christianity in its various forms is considered a religion?

    Nobody can disprove the beliefs of either groups, all are equally as farfetched and without any basis or reason. However, Christianity is responsible for far more atrocities against the human race, a fact that cannot be ignored.
