Default A Scientology question?

If they say money is the root of all evil, and Scientology is a religion based primarily around money, then is Scientology really the church of Satan in disguise?

No it is a pyramid selling scheme with some terrible and criminal activities done by its leaders.

Blaming a mythical fallen angel is just as silly as their stories about space overlords and volcanoes.

Oh Scientology isn't even as believable as Christianity or Satanism. Because it's leaders don't actually believe in it, but use the gullibility of their followers to make a profit.

Lmao...no. Both the Church of Satan and that of Scientology are useless and/or dead, but the former is not run by idiots.

Whether one tithes 10% of their income over a lifetime, or receives services for their donations over a period of a few years, it comes out to about the same. Anyone dissing about money always leaves out the fact the Scientologists receive priceless services and abilities from those services. As one gets through the states, the ability to flourish and prosper also increases. Just from the training of the basics alone, many gains are achieved. Dissenters also deliberately leave out the fact that Scientology is not-for-profit, with the donations supporting our social betterment programs and having sufficient premises to meet the demand for services. Exchange is a huge deal in Scientology. Only criminals think it's OK to get things without exchange.

Here's some data from our web site:

No, because I don't agree that what you seem to state as a fact, is actually a fact or true.
" They" say a lot of things.
Like " Scientology is a religion based primarily around money".
You are just repeating something you heard "them" say. You don't actually know yourself if this is true or not.


BTW... Who are "THEY" ?
