I agree he has gone kind of looney- but what I don't understand is these people who are trying to sound so intelligent and bash scientology keep calling it a religion when it isn't nor does any scientologist including L. Ron Hubbard claim that it is.

Huh?

http://www.scientology.org/
What is Scientology?
Scientology is an applied religious philosophy.
The fastest growing religious movement on earth, Scientology has become a firmly established and active force for positive change in the world in less than half a century. In a word, Scientology works.
And if you were to ask any Scientologist they would tell you it is a practical religion, with practical answers — tools that can be applied to achieve greater awareness and purpose in the here and now.
Clearly Funkmasterr is nuts. Period.

$cientology is the last refuge of a broken mind, because you would have to be insane to fall for their crap. Inform yourself of the menace this cult represents. http://www.xenu.net

I will have to look for the direct quote I have from the founder of it aslanna, because he clearly says that its not a religion. I personally think people are making a bigger deal out of it than it really is. I am no scientologist, but it is far from a cult.

Then why did he seek status as a religious organization? I mean other than the 100% tax break and the lack of having to declare your donation income.

you might be thinking of the claim that scientology is non-denominational. scientologists don't care if you're a christian or a jew or a muslim; as long as you have a savings account they can drain.

it's absurd to think any scientologist claims it isn't a religion though.

Tom Cruise recently fired his publicist and than hired his sister for the position, since that time he's been making statements like a lunatic.

I hate to break the bad news to you but $cientology is a cult and once you spend enough money you find out that it is based in a guy named Xenu who brought billions of galactic citizens here to earth and nuked them inside a volcano and all the worlds problems are caused by their souls messing with humanity as body and thought thetans.

That is $cientology and $cientology kills, they think it is a religion, the closest L Ron came to denying it was that prior to it being formed he wrote that starting a religion would be a great way to make money.

Rotten writer, rotten messiah, loser L Ron Sickfuck

I've never met anyone who claimed to be a Scientologist myself but my sister tells a story of working with a girl out in California that was a dedicated, almost fanatical scientologist.

Apparently this girl would work 10-12 hour days at the staffing agency they worked for then go put in another 6 hours at the Scientology conclave in their area. She also claimed to donate 40% of her salary to the Church of Scientology she attended and lived a very sparse lifestyle outside of that.

I'm sorry but the only entity that can take 40% of my salary is the US fucking government!

I'm not sure how you could make that statement with any knowledge of them. Fit's all the descriptions of a cult fo me. Xenu.net and most of other sites are very factual, they have to be as the scientology lawyer brigade keeps a very close eye on them.
In religion and sociology, a cult is a group of people (often a new religious movement) devoted to beliefs and goals which may be contradictory to those held by the majority of society. Its marginal status may come about either due to its novel belief system or due to idiosyncratic practices that cause the surrounding culture to regard it as far outside the mainstream.
Scientology is a system of beliefs, teachings and rituals, originally established as a secular philosophy in 1952 by science-fiction author L. Ron Hubbard, then recharacterized by him in 1953 as an "applied religious philosophy."

If you look in the "Origins of Scientology" section of that article it's pretty clear why Hubbard created it. Money.

The ones running the show are not nice people, their "indoctrination methods" have killed more than one person.

Wish I had thought of it. I could use some extra cash for fancy gizmos.

It's a cult like any other "belief" that preys on the weak minded. I may become a scientologist and sell Amway on the side at the meetings. The same people that fall for this crap fall for pyramid schemes, chain letters and the like.

Yeah xenu.net has some golden information on scientology.

Snippet:
The founder of this enterprise was part storyteller, part flimflam man. Born In Nebraska in 1911, Hubbard served in the Navy during World War II and soon afterward complained to the Veterans Administration about his "suicidal inclinations" and his "seriously affected" mind. Nevertheless, Hubbard was a moderately successful writer of pulp science fiction. Years later, church brochures described him falsely as an "extensively decorated" World War II hero who was crippled and blinded in action, twice pronounced dead and miraculously cured through Scientology. Hubbard's "doctorate" from "Sequoia University" was a fake mall-order degree. In a I984 case in which the church sued a Hubbard biographical researcher, a California judge concluded that its founder was "a pathological liar."

Hubbard wrote one of Scientology's sacred texts, Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, in 1950. In it he introduced a crude psychotherapeutic technique he called "auditing." He also created a simplified lie detector (called an "E-meter") that was designed to measure electrical changes In the skin while subjects discussed intimate details of their past. Hubbard argued that unhappiness sprang from mental aberrations (or "engrams") caused by early traumas. Counseling sessions with the E-meter, he claimed, could knock out the engrams, cure blindness and even improve a person's intelligence and appearance.

Hubbard kept adding steps, each more costly, for his followers to climb. In the 1960s the guru decreed that humans are made of clusters of spirits (or "thetans") who were banished to earth some 75 million years ago by a cruel galactic ruler named Xenu. Naturally, those thetans had to be audited.
