Scientology is no less believable than any other religion. It's only bad because they scam you out of thousands of dollars. Though if your rich I guess it doesn't matter either way.

Anyway.. atheist ft.

The second link talks about a former Scientologist who dealt with Tom Cruise.

They don't blow stuff up or molest altar boys, so it's probably less harmful than mainline religion. And anyone who believes in talking donkeys and parting seas has no business ridiculing other religions.

They actively recruit celebrities with their "Celebrity Centers," so it's really no surprise there's so many celebrities involved with Scientology. From what I've heard about Scientology, the possibilities for financial ruin, psychological issues (since they think Scientology can "fix" all the psychiatric problems in the world), and possible physical harm (the Sea Org's prisons for bad Sea Org members being one example) is high. Let's not forget about Operation Snow White as well, which Hubbard's wife was personally involved in and did jail time for.

More dangerous than Wicca less dangerous than Catholicism.

I give it a 5.8 on the danger scale and a 9.7 on the silliness scale.

About as dangerous as any other secular religion.

A lot of celebrities are in it CZ it makes them feel smart when they say "I'm a Scientology's!" (celebrities aren't smart)

It denies the existence of God, that's bad enough.

I don't think it's dangerous, it depends how you use it though, as with anything.

it's just evil.

go ogle their fair game policy if you have free time and you'll see what i mean.

^this is why anonymous wears masks, because if they know who the picketers are they will hunt them down and keep you from picketing.

The real danger of Scientology is that it has too many front organizations, whose purpose is to trick unsuspecting people into joining them.

Right now they are trying to recruit people in Middle East and Asia. Those people don't know what Scientology really is.

Probably if you asked all the celebrities that are "in it " why, they would tell you that it works for them.

How dangerous do people think YOU are BTW ?...
