I am not a fan of scientology - but at the same time, I can't condone what these people are doing. Imagine if it was aimed at Jews or Muslims. We would all act differently.
Again, I can understand where they are coming from - scientology is strange and you can argue that it's not fair to the lower ranked members in the group. But it's no one groups place to decide that another group shouldn't be allowed to exist.
Right on dbl-D. The opinions on right to persecute - based on faith (or lack thereof) appear to be highly subjective, don't they? Herd mentality the way I see it.
I'm not a scientologist, but I've studied some works and applied several bits of their information to life - no regrets. As I do with most "religions" and church doctrine, I take what is of benefit/use, and ignore the rest. I don't berate people or their beliefs if I don't understand them - unless fired upon first, and that's not even a given.
Pretending that Scientology is a religion is just stupid.
And people may have a 'right' to be stupid, but that 'right' does not protect them from being mocked and derided for their stupidity.
...and it's one case where "you get what you pay for" does not apply.
