Let's look back and discuss why sientology is any different from Christianity or any other religion. Christianity and many other religions are just different interpretations of the bible. Some idealist came up with an idea on how to control people and promoted it(the bible).
IMO, scientology has as much credibility as christianity or any other religion. Some crazy, broke, power hungry individual created it to control the minds of masses. Organized religion is only a form of mind control.
I am not a fan of organized religion but I do believe that some people absolutely need it. I have seen religion pick people up when they have no where to turn and have turned their lives around. For these people it is an amazing thing. I just have trouble supporting anything that promotes it's own beliefs in the name of a larger figure when really it is a cash grab and mind control

Good post.
Someday in the far distant future someone will create a book of religion ripping off L.Ron Hubbard's Dianetics the same way the Bible has ripped off what the Sumerians in Babylon wrote on tablets over 5500 years ago. Yes that's right... 3500 odd years before christ. just about every event in the bible is written on these tablets yet the catholic church refuse to believe that they are being deciphered properly...hmmm wonder why?
The day people start believing in "people" the day the world will be a safer and better place...until then, unnecessary worldwide death and gloom.
