I've been a little curious lately about the Scientology cult,although some would like to call it a religion.
I personaly don't know much about it to be quite honest,but all i do know is that its a religion made up by the Science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.
According to
wikipedia:
Quote:
In May 1950, Hubbard published a book describing the self-improvement technique of Dianetics, titled Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health. With Dianetics, Hubbard introduced the concept of "auditing," a two-person question-and-answer therapy that focused on painful memories. According to Hubbard, dianetic auditing could eliminate emotional problems, cure physical illnesses, and increase intelligence. In his introduction to Dianetics, Hubbard declared that "the creation of dianetics is a milestone for man comparable to his discovery of fire and superior to his inventions of the wheel and arch."
In mid-1952, Hubbard expanded Dianetics into a secular philosophy which he called Scientology.In December 1953, Hubbard declared Scientology a religion and the first Church of Scientology was founded.
So do we have any believers here or someone who can tell me something more about this strange belief?..I choose to call it a belief as that what scientology is,its not really a religion.
So lets get this discussion going,so if your a fan of Tom Cruise or John Travolta then tell us why they are right to follow Scientology?

Quite honestly i strongly believe scientology and its tenets are all rubbish. However if a belief in something helps you feel good and do good in life then there's nothing wrong in accepting it.
As is the case any with religion there is nothing wrong with what you believe and follow unlees you become a fanatic and actually end up doing more bad to yourself then good.
On a lighter note, you should watch south-park episode "trapped in the closet"

Scientology is what humans wants to believe tru facts. Scientology is made up by humans, and humans makes mistakes.... thus Scientology is not perfect.. thus I don't believe in it, just the science... heat can fry stuff, I fry my food, food is good, good food I eat, than I sleep..

I wouldn't say any religion was perfect - no way - but like clank says, if it makes you do more good than harm then embrace it.

Strange one Scientology, don’t they believe in an alien race or something? (Well I believe in alien life but not in the same way).

I think they believe we are actually aliens and we were planted on earth to colonise or something.

Each to there own, i guess it will end up being reconised religion some day, after all all religions must start out like cults in the begining.

I could never believe that Scientology thing.
Pretty little Katie had to give birth without any medication and no screaming, something to that effect.
Drugs/medication is science right?
