What is your opinion of Scientology??

I read up on it and it sounds very off-the-wall..to put it lightly.
BTW,
I have NO intention of joining. I am Christian.

No such thing.

It shouldn't be considered a religion. It is a bunch of crazy people trying to turn science into a religion when I believe that they should be kept separate.

I think it is unique and if it makes the followers happy and they are comfortable than hey! more power to them. But it is not for me

I think it's quite sad that a religion is actually based upon a science fiction writers theories of how life should be ran.

Unbelievable in every imaginable use of the word. That's just my opinion, of course.

Man's feeble attempt to justify his sins.

It is not Bible based.There is no concrete proof of that religion.

the same as any other religion,a good message,used by a few to control many,Religion should open your mind not close it

Flakes,wackos,tom cruise on today show,need i say more.

It's bizarre to me that people would give the amount of money those people do to "advance". And the whole anti-psychiatry thing: psychiatry saved my brother's life. I also don't know how they deal with celebrity church members not being held up to the same standards as regular members. That would be like saying the Pope doesn't have to watch his sins as much as regular Christians do. Ridiculous.

I think they are a bunch of wackos myself. I mean, I think Christians are out there with all their talk of lambs blood, people coming back from the dead, and just magic in general. But at least their beliefs are based LOOSELY on reality. The Scientologists are just plain out there. L. Ron Hubbard obviously pulled this stuff out of his rear and told a bunch of idiots it was true.

This religion in particular worries me. I've read plenty about their practices of harassing people who are critical of them. I can picture these people being a major religious player in a thousand years or so when L.Ron Hubbard has faded into mythological Jesus/Muhammed status, and nobody is alive to dispute the facts of what they claim. Think about it, Tom Cruise could be akin to one of the twelve disciples. And all of us get to be the Philistines. Yay.

Im easy to make happy these days. ANY RELIGION THAT DOESNT ADVOCATE FOR MY DEATH, AND PERPETUATE HATRED FOR MY CULTURE, IS FINE BY ME. More power to the Scientologists, there not so bad. Im agnostic, and its not for me, but let them do their "audits" in peace, worry about the religions that want to kill you.

i think that its a business more than a religion

The originator who is the semi-famous science fiction author "L. Ron Hubbard" started it. Remember the movie "Battlefield Earth"? it was based on one of his books. He has been known to say "If you can create your own religion then you would be rich..." his Dianetics seems to be a mixture of pseudo Freudian pop science. It is a cult.

All religion is based on what we would now call science fiction. Invisible men in the sky watching... perpetual motion... immaculate conception... all of it reads like a science fiction novel.

Religion:

1. beliefs and worship: people's beliefs and opinions concerning the existence, nature, and worship of a deity or deities, and divine involvement in the universe and human life


2. system: an institutionalized or personal system of beliefs and practices relating to the divine


3. personal beliefs or values: a set of strongly-held beliefs, values, and attitudes that somebody lives by


4. obsession: an object, practice, cause, or activity that somebody is completely devoted to or obsessed by
The danger is that you start to make fitness a religion.


5. Christianity monk's or nun's life: life as a monk or a nun, especially in the Roman Catholic Church



It's all religion.

Be more specific

Biology
Chemistry, or
Physics ?

Many will be DECEIVED,The Lord said even the ELECT if they don't watch they will fall.

This is one of the false religions the bible warns us about.
