And for the people who don't know what Scientology.

Scientology is related to science as much as a mongoose is related to a goose (Which is wrong because they're both vertabrates)

Scientology is a religion started by science fiction write L. Ron Hubbard.

It forces people to pay 10s of thousands of dollars and destroy their own lives

And it destroys anyone who criticizes the religion too.

no, but watching a bunch of wierdos in masks protest against a bunch of crazies does sound tempting.LoG-Sacrament

Depends on which country you're in. The USA counts it as a religion, whereas Germany has outlawed it as a Dangerous Cult. Places like the UK haven't yet decided.

It's not a religion, it's a violent and abusive cult (at least according to the protesters).

Since I don't really know anything about scientology I decided to look it up on wikipedia. I got bored and started scrolling through it and found this

The Church of Scientology is one of a number of groups involved in the anti-psychiatry movement, and one of the few organizations that publicly oppose the study and application of psychology in addition to psychiatry, claiming that psychiatry was responsible for World War I,[212] the rise of Hitler and Stalin,[213] the decline in education standards in the United States,[214] the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo,[215] and the September 11 attacks.[216] The Church's point of view on these issues is documented mainly by Church groups and magazines such as those published by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights and Freedom Magazine.

I just thought it was really really stupid.

Just wondering if anyone on here was going to join the protest against scientology.

Christianity doesn't force people to pay to find out about their religion. Christianity doesn't harass people who aren't part of Scientology. Christianity doesn't destroy someones life if they want to leave. No other 'religion' is like Scientology. Scientology is an evil corporation that destroys life. (I'm not a Christian btw, but I have respect for real religions)

ya, and protesting against a stupid "religion" is just plain insane.

Get a life, people, go protest against genocide or something, not scientology.

I believe in science... Not fairy tales and mythskrp008

im not saying i dont believe the big bang theory... and i sure as hell dont believe the adam and eve theory... but it just made me lul

Has anyone seen the report that was done by that one BBC reporter? (his name escapes me atm) They like stalked him and harassed him, it was insane. Believe whatever you want, but the leadership of a religion shouldn't be acting like that, so I have no problem with protesting Scientology.LiquidClear

Agreed. There are much more pressing matters and organizations which they could have garnered support against.

I wish. But no, I'm too busy. I do however agree with it. Scientology is not a religeon. The only place that considers it one is USA and that's because you could get anything done there with a lot of money and some good lawyers. Scientology needs a serious slap to the face soon.

There's no suport to raise on genocide that us internet folks can bring. The people who support it won't stop until there's a bullet in their head.

That's awesome! :lol:

And no, I won't be going to the protests. I'm not an American.

This is the dumbest thing ever.

but by protesting maybe we can convince our own government to take that bullet, put it in a gun, and shoot the person commiting the atrocities.

We are still caught up in a stupid war about ancient religous idiots, do you honestly think USA is the one to put that gun in their face at this point and time?

You don't even know what Scientology is, do you.

Wow, that would be a waste of a day. Just because you don't agree with a religion is no reason to protest it. I feel bad for those who do.metallica_fan42

I think they're protesting against the abuses the church has done.

I don't know a whole lot about Scientology(Due to the fact that they refuse to tell the public anything about it) but everything that has been made public from ex-church members is about as ridiculous as it gets. I still wouldn't protest em(You can call it a protest against the leaders of the cult, but the only people it's going to affect are the followers).
