Oh! I see! This is some sort of little 1.1 trolling game you’ve got going on because you’ve got some sort of bee in your bonnet about Scientology, or not? How silly of me not to realize this eh?

Vinaire, its theoretically possible, but not, I believe, under the current management of David Miscavige. But sure, things can turn around in the Church of Scientology after he is gone. There is some policy that would have to be thrown out, like Disconnection and Fair Game, but I take a long view of things and believe its possible.

Look, Christianity was founded on Jesus Christ, who said, “A soft answer turneth away wrath”, “You are your brother’s keeper”, and “Love thine enemies”. Christianity started out as a kind and gentle and caring philosophy, a non-materialistic philosophy, replacing the “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth” philosophy that people had been operating on for millenia. It was actually quite revolutionary. So what happened? Well, the philosophy became a religion, and a thousand years later we had the Crusades and then they started burning and torturing people who were considered heretics. What did this have to do with the original philosophy of Christianity? And if you don’t believe that Jesus existed, that’s fine, but then, SOMEONE put forth these revolutionary datums about caring and loving others as oneself.SOMEONE dreamed up this stuff, so if it wasn’t Jesus, it was somebody, you know?

Any religion can go very far afield from its fundamental core philosophy. Look at the Salem witch trials in this country – these people were nuts. Where are the Puritans today? I haven’t seen any around. Point being, no religion which does not have compassion for human frailty, which does not truly care andoffer help and succor and a safe space – no religion like this, is going to last. Its just a matter of time before word gets around and people withdraw their support. You can control people with anger and fear but its just a matter of time before they leave if there is no love or caring.

Maybe the Church of Scientology could turn around too after acquiring enough wealth.

Cat Daddy, thanks, I’m familiar with the basic purpose of the NOI and have no problem with it, and I can definitely see beyond the racist talk. My issue is that they are being ORDERED to do Dianetics, and then, afterwards, presumably, Scientology, and how can the tech work on someone who isn’t studying these on their own determinism? You see?

Its definitely still there, no argument. What I’m wondering about is what keeps it there? I personally do not think it is their Mest that has kept them there.

I think they still exist despite strong competition from other religions because they toned down and became kinder and gentler, more helpful and tolerant, and they began using their Mest and resources to actually feed, clothe, and house people, to truly help 3rd World countries, to take care of orphans, disabled war veterans – stuff like that. They reversed what was formerly their flow of “must be contributed to” and started outflowing their enormous wealth in very tangible ways – giving, for real, with no strings – food, clothing, housing, medicine. For whatever it is worth, that’s my opinion of why the Catholic Church is still here, .

Just one of your friendly Chicago Anons of 2008 vintage, Dave, one of the guys in the masks out to enturbulate. That’s why you and Sindy are my favorite SPs.

See past this african American’s racism. It is actually what the Nation of Islam was build on.
