Well, it's been a few months since Anonymous declared its internet war on Scientology, and I'd like to know what everyone thinks of this religion, cult or whatever it is. Here's some relevant media to react to:

The original Tom Cruise video that set Anonymous off:


A reporter encounters some followers of Scientology, with interesting results:


A segment on the militaristic 'Sea Organization', the innermost circle of Scientology:

Wow. I think those people are crazy. Some Scientologists tried to bring into that stuff. These people basically followed me from a Movie Theater to a Coffee Shop and tried to push that crap on me. I just think that what they are teaching is more self enlightment bullcrap. But I believe the people who are carrying that message are crazy.

Tom Cruise is the Last Samurai who Feels the Need for Speed who can Handle the Truth. I see no point in commenting.

I understand people have the right to believe what they want and all, but this is one of few religions that truly scare the hell outta me. In a freaky way. The examples that they have just seem so freakishly insane for cryin out loud! And the talk REALLY weird.

Scientology is the one thing I have zero tolerance for. Its an idiotic cult founded by a hypocritical and mediocre sci fi writer and it seems to only exist to collect money and stroke celebrity egos, I don't care what anyone has to say about it, if you are a scientologist I will automatically dismiss you as a moron

I think Mormonism is in the same boat.Any religion based on things that we can prove scientifically and historically untrue is a joke.

Would Jehovah Witnesses fall under the same category? Or would they be more classified as Christians?

 Right, well nothing against them. All religions have there good points, and bad points. Not sure about the Buddhist..they never do anything bad. They're like Cananda..just there and not hurting anyone. lol


This song pretty much sums up this thread.

Well all religions do have their bad points but some more than others.Scientology and Mormonism are an absolute joke to me.If anyone on this forum is part of that religion..I'm not trying to diss them but I just don't see how any intelligent person can believe what they believe unless they don't believe everything connected to the religion like someone Christians don't believe certain things in the bible.There are however people who believe the bible 100% and I believe there are some things in there that make no sense.

Like radical Muslims, Christians, etc. Even hard core atheist that wish to ruin things for every one by trying to get rid of Christmas, Easter, and God We Trust and Under God.  I myself go by a live and let live way.

they a big joke. i agree with everything else except thee 100% belief. these are the goofy ass people one might call extremist or something less but all the same. the bible as many other stories of the past should be taken symbolically and not literally. after all it's jus a story people wrote in the past. and not just that... it's been altered ever since. that's why we have one origin of the judeo christan faith that some how spawned 100's of other christian based religion. same goes for any other religion in this world. or just about every other. mormonism is an apple too far from the tree and scientology is a leaf that just blew away into the wind. in fact, it didn't even come from the same tree.

Yea I can't stand that either.The thing that pisses me off the most about radical christians is that they don't ever know what they are talking about.They act like because of there faith everyone should be like them and the b#tch and whine to try and get laws changed to suit their morals.It's so annoying.

Whining, complaining, and throwing hissy fits as it were is not the worse. Holy wars and all that are caused by that, not all by that most of all wars are caused by greed, and power..which kinda go together.

I try to be tolerant about all religions but I really don't know what these people are thinking.  Did you know that when Hubbard refused to pay taxes he stowed away to a yacht that traveld the world (called SeaLand or something) and made his employees on board sign one billion year contracts?  (This was a symbolic gesture, but seriously whats the severance if your employer breaks a one billion year contract?)

Believing in a religion is fine, it brings people comfort and security. But unfortunately people get obsessed with them sometimes, they believe that without it there life has no purpose or meaning, whcih is just wrong. Thats when you get religious fanatics, when you see videos on the net off people who believe in these Cults  like scientology so strongly they come across as disturbed people or crazy (in my opinion).

Personally,I think MANY of you are being FAR too harsh on Xenu....his ship is hovering above Earth as we speak, 'Scientology' is his creed, demand,and given L. Ron is Captain of that ship these daze...you best all watch what you say....for his eyes of influence are universal....
