This ragtag collection of &#8220;defenders of the faith&#8221; (some of them no doubt doing an &#8220;amends project&#8221; for some transgression, others doing it to gain &#8220;eligibility&#8221; for their OT levels) comes up with the craziest stuff.

					<description><![CDATA[Someone sent this Instagram post to me recently. It is the perfect example of scientology saying one thing publicly to be “acceptable” (Hubbard called this an “acceptable truth”) and what they actually believe and practice. As you may have noticed, they also make a big deal about celebrating Christmas but do not believe in Christ. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Is scientology homophobic? There has been considerable discussion about this.  In today&#8217;s world,  where it is no longer socially acceptable to be anti-gay, scientology has taken steps to attempt to portray itself as tolerant and welcoming of the LGBT community. But similar to scientology&#8217;s claims that disconnection &#8220;doesn&#8217;t exist&#8221; or is simply a &#8220;personal choice,&#8221; the [&#8230;]]]></description>
