If Oscar considers his question answered, that's far enough for me. To put it clear, Scientology is a cult started by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard, that he created to make himself lots and lots of money. It uses brainwashing techniques (like getting followers to stare at each other without blinking for hours) to indoctrinate people into its beliefs and devotion to Hubbard's teachings. The lower levels of Scientology can seem sensible and beneficial to new members, but at the higher levels, sufficiently indoctrinated members are taught that all human problems are caused by millions of souls called "thetans" that are stuck to their bodies. These "thetans" were deposited here millions of years ago by an evil alien overlord called "Xenu", a tyrant who put billions of people from other planets into volcanoes on earth and blew them up with nuclear bombs. If that sounds crazy, you're right, but I am not joking, and it is what Scientology teaches. He was a science fiction author, after all.
Of course, I also think lines should be able to move in double rank without having emotional breakdowns.
look at all these anti religion circle jerks popping up. What is this Reddit?
Faggots will burn in hell anyway, who cares.

My big problem with it (besides the actual beliefs broken down into laymen's terms being just ridiculous,) is that it is clearly a scam. If you read into the creator of it, and his exploits, it is undeniably a cash grab. I'm all for people believing what they want, and if alien spirits is what makes sense to you that's fine. But the amount of money these people demand is just outrageous, I can't believe how many people can fall for shit like this.

If you pay taxes to be in the church, i know Catholicism does this for a fact, then that religion is just a scam.All organised religion is just a scam for easy money and political power.
