This adds more fuel to the fire against the church. They really need to figure out what they stand for.

-Brainwashing, lies, control, and opression...just like any other church/cult.
This is advertising. The church of scientology is a business...instead of selling cars, food, or something usefull, they sell lies. In that sense, their actions are a bit like if Coca-Cola edited the Pepsi page to read, "has been shown to cause rectal cancer in 56% of users"....then edited their own page to read, "Only know cure for AIDS".

The Church Of Scientology and its members are vile and must be destroyed - it wouldn't be so bad if these psychopathic wackos just kept to themselves and left us in peace but they won't - they are sloly trying to foster a plan of world domination. They've begun with Hollywood , easiest way to control the media , next it will be politics and then McDonalds - they will control everything that is vital for normal sane people to survive ;) lol

I Live in Buffalo, NY. I have a friend I knew since high school, probably 15 yrs. He and his family were all Scientoligists. In his mid 20's he was diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. Being that Scientoligists don't believe in mental illness or Psychiatry his parents treated that illness with vitamin supplements. That didn't seem to work because shortly after he murdered his mother in his kitchen. I'm still the only one who even visits him or even seems to know he's really a good man. Feel free google Jeremy Perkins if you think I'm b.s.ing. Thats just ONE thing Scientology has wrong with it.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
But for a few years now and from several people I have heard that Scientology came about from some dude who wrote a fictional story.
People believed in the book so much the religion sparked up.
The author is the obvious leader collecting millions if not billions.
I heard on TV it costs lots and lots of money to join.
I have never figured out the tie between religion and money and how it flows ever so unrestricted. Next thing you know this massive over priced church is built that you can see for miles. I am not saying wrong, I just don't understand.

"Some dude" is L. Ron Hubbard. He was a science fiction author. He also wrote Dianetics, which not intended as fiction, but explains his philosophy and beliefs.

Religion is a BUSINESS- nothing more. The sweeter ones sermons are, the fatter the collection plates. Through out history, every civilization has come up with basically the same business model- central meeting place-mystical writings and shamans ,and enough people gathering to support their life style.
As DRokKer so well put it- "only sheep need shepherds."

Truth lies in the history.
Religion ages ago was used to gain control on the population. Now it is government.
This thread could go on forever talking about this stuff.
If freedom of religion were true then sacrificing little children wouldn't be illegal.

All you naysayers had better stay anonymous because if you cross them you are "toast". Their "Security Forces" will getcha. No bad words please. Do some research on their tactics but stay mum. Hide under your bed!!!

And if I don't pass this on to ten of my best friends, I will suffer tragically, tomorrow. Bring 'em on! It seems that no one is defending them at all. You'd think there would be one nut posting here.

The membership of this cult obviously have better things to do .. like banging on peoples doors along with mormons and other totalitarian groups tubthumping and trying to draw sad and lonely people into their "churches" of division. Where difference and open questioning is frowned on, and anybody who says anything different from the book or the priest is a heretic and should be burned at the stake.
Don't I know this one.. I get it even on sites where difference and diversity is a cornerstone of the rules. ALL are supposed to be allowed a voice and an opinion.. but don't tell a christian they are being "superior" without any other justification than their belonging to a particular cult (all religions are cults) or you will be censored and your posts not approved... My mistake was to object to being replied to as if without my consent I was also something to do with a fictional god.. and that's all you need to be.. different.. to see the abuse these people will use against you.. I would love to out that particular person to their church and see how many more sunday brainwashings they are welcome to attend... because their church sees them as as much of an "affront to god" and "an abomination" as I am.. yet they act as it's apologist.
Wikipedia should have one page for religion.. and one page only .. with the large words..
Religions are cults.. they promote and support lies over facts. They encourage hate and division among people.. they seek to enforce their prejudice on others through manipulation of lawmakers.
That's all that really needs to be said about any and all religions.. They lie and twist and force.. and as such should be consigned to the dark ages where they belong.
So consider.. some supreme being who made the whole universe (and by that logic made itself also) decided to tell this to some goat farmers scratching about in a desert .. and didn't give them any proof.
Apparently if I laugh at that nonsense then I will be burned alive for all eternity in some place by some angel who was thrown out of somewhere by this all loving and all forgiving supreme being who supposedly made me in it's own image (so this supreme being was transgender eh? .. where does that put this supreme beings non intersexed creations who say they are made in the image of this so called god?.. inferior that's where) even though I know I'm evolved from a bacteria .. errrr.. yeah... right
excuse me while I walk away wiping away the tears of laughter.. I worship the great pink elephants .. seen them with my own eyes XD
oooooooo.. wouldn't it be a lovely place without all these religions.. where people have to be responsible for their own actions and don't have any fantasy creation to blame for their ignorance and prejudice?
Time for the human race to grow the f--k up and get into the 21st century and out of the 6th

Gotta love the massive generalizations there!
List of Religions with more than 500,000 members:
1.Christianity: 2.1 billion
2.Islam: 1.5 billion
3.Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion
4.Hinduism: 900 million
5.Chinese traditional religion: 394 million
6.Buddhism: 376 million
7.primal-indigenous: 300 million
8.African Traditional & Diasporic: 100 million
9.Sikhism: 23 million
10.Juche: 19 million
11.Spiritism: 15 million
12.Judaism: 14 million
13.Baha'i: 7 million
14.Jainism: 4.2 million
15.Shinto: 4 million
16.Cao Dai: 4 million
17.Zoroastrianism: 2.6 million
18.Tenrikyo: 2 million
19.Neo-Paganism: 1 million
20.Unitarian-Universalism: 800 thousand
21.Rastafarianism: 600 thousand
22.Scientology: 500 thousand
Then there are the many different "sects" of each religion: For example, several years ago there were more than 30,000 Christian faith structures.
Several of those top religions do not even believe in an "all-knowing" Godlike being and most have very different creation myths.
