whats your opinion on scientology?

(I'm NOT a Scientology's by the way)

never had one what is it anyway

Like all organized religion, it's just a story.

*******

Just to add, L. Ron Hubbard (the founder of Scientology) said, and I am paraphrasing a bit, that if you want to make money the best way is to start a religion

Its not a religion/just a lot of hot air. MONEY MONEY MONEY.

I have looked into it and I think it is pretty much good common sense I am not gonna go out and join the church of Scientology but alto of things they teach I think are just common sense.

My opinion of Scientology is that is a cult of the mind. From what I have read, you have to pay huge amounts of cash just to hear their rhetoric. It scares me. Tom Cruise scares me. Kirstie Alley scares me. Perhaps the scariest of all is the fact they don't believe that any type of medication can help the mentally ill.

it's somewhat what i believe in after looking into it but lots of things don't have my vote on it's right. Lil Scientology's was in that movie the exorcist and final fantasy. Lil they also in bugs bunny when it was talking about gremlins.

Scientology was 'invented` by Sci-Fi writer L.Ron Hubbard.

There are several letters to fellow writers that he wrote prior to him starting Scientology that mentions that he may create a religion because there is more money in it than writing... Go figure !

As long as it `believers` are happy and they dint hurt anyone or pressure anyone into their madness then its just fine by me.

If it's good enough for tom cruise than ...............I DON"T want anything to do with it.

My opinion on Scientology ...you actually wanna know...?? Sweet .. its a bunch of BULLSH*T ...that's right TOM CRUSIE you religion was made up there were no aliens that got thrown into a volcano or anything like that. For the love of GOD !!!! L.Ron Hubbard ..created a religion outta thin air...he was a Sufi writer people. that means that that religion is totally made up.. like superman and spider-man and the rest of comic books. Comics do a better job tho. ( in fact all religion is made up, oh wait you didn't ask that) ....That means people that follow Scientology are as FU- Jed up as old L. Ron !!!!!! They even have to pay to be apart of the retarded religion... Scientologist go worship a tree save itself a giant pile of cash...Beside the name is misleading to if its science it can't be religion ..religion is something you believe in science is something you can prove. Its a scam!!!

And go watch SouthPArks trapped Ianthe closet espoisde that explains it all !!!!!!!! its funny too

Need I say, "Xenu"?

Just read the article on Wikipedia, and you will be amazed that celebrities so commonly adopt this religion.

Also, how weird are the questions they ask you on surveys? "Do you get nervous when asked to make a decision? Do you prefer to follow rather than to lead?" Do you prefer to belong to a religion that won't even tell you key elements of dogma until you have already become deeply embedded in the society?

I think I'd like to know what I'm getting into before I'm already there.

Tom Cruise is crazy, but Katie Holmes is crazier for having that man's baby.

Scientology was a religion created by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard. Primarily from what I have seen, it exists to gather a large amount of money out of movie stars.

I am a Scientology's - and it is fantastic, it has improved my ability to communicate with others, my attitude to life and just about every aspect of my life. L Ron Hubbard was an inspirational man....

I personally belief Scientology is a pseudo-science and a pseudo-religion. I think the Church of Scientology is a cruel dangerous cult that takes your money and your ability to reason enough to see so. See the links to important information on the Internet about Scientology.

To quote south park creators: "This is what cytologistsSSallyLyelieve!" in this controversial episode of South Park:" http://www.xenutv.com/cruise/sp-closet.htm

Now if they told you about Body Thetans, Implants & Xenu before you spend money 'getting rid of your problems' would you believe them? This is where the Church of Scientology steps in and is a dangerous destructive cult and is no longer just a belief. To Scientologists it may be their religion, I'm sorry my opinion offends, and hey if thats what they believe then thats fine with me, I don't have to believe it.

However the Cult of $cientology is another matter.

"The Church of Scientology is a vicious and dangerous cult that masquerades as a religion. Its purpose is to make money. It practices a variety of mind-control techniques on people lured into its midst to gain control over their money and their lives. Its aim is to take from them every penny that they have and can ever borrow and to also enslave them to further its wicked ends."

See here for the whole site, it is very interesting but horrifying reading, there is a wealth of critical information on scientology.

The CofS has been investigated by governments and taken to court many times. "Some European governments (including notably, Germany, Belgium, France, and Austria) do not consider the Church to be a bona fide religious organization, but instead a commercial enterprise and / or a cult." wikipedia.org/scientology
