Well, it's clear religious intolerance is alive and well in Germany. The government bleats about anti-democratic actions and in the same breath denies its own citizens the right to believe as they choose!! Do they know that's a human rights abuse? Surveilling a section of the population because they choose to believe differently - the German government should know better given it's horrific past of human rights abuses.

We support and accept retrictions on 'freedom of speech' therefore it is hypocritical not to allow restrictions on religion.

So, because we have wrongfully accepted restrictions on some of our human rights and freedoms, we should wrongfully accept restrictions on all of them?That makes about as much sense as pouring gasoline on a forest fire to put it out. Didn't your mamma ever teach you two wrongs don't make a right?

I guess by that logic, since it was 'okay' for Nazi Germany to kill off millions of people who didn't share the government's approved beliefs, it should be 'okay' to discriminate against Scientologists because they don't believe in the government sanctioned religion?

Your straw man argument is worse than ridiculous, it's evil. Try to force your beliefs on an American and our legal system allows us to throw you in jail. And that's the way it should be. People have the right to believe as they choose - period.

In the spirit of the above post I along with the sane people in the World believe that the Americans make the Nazis appear respectable.

You're no more a Scientologist than my cat. At least try to understand what you're impersonating.

As a Scientologist, I look forward to a world where human rights and dignity are restored, and the gross violations of human rights are brought to an end. What does 'Clearing the Planet' mean? It simply means restoring the ability of man as a race to be humane to himself. For nations to truly resolve matters instead resorting to guns, bombs, economic slavery and pain. I don't think everyone has to be a Scientologist for that to happen. But it certainly wouldn't hurt to know the technology for making such a dream a reality, and use it.

I care about the world my children will grow up into. I know that I will have to come back and face this place again in the next life. So I want to leave it in good condition, the best I can. I am especially thankful to my Church for refusing to allow us to be crushed down into the dirt by those who rabidly support the status quo.

SCientology is what we call a sect .Call it a religion if you want but it is in fact nothing more than the wild dream from a failed lunatic science fiction writer .As so many sects it(s goals are making money and brainwashing it's disciples.THe answer to this is simple,ban them and root out their influence .Does anybody realy think that we have to give tax benefits to any moron claiming to represent the only true religion.Nice try but no ,find better arguments to spread your nonenses

Scientology is a cult, not a religion. It employs mind control techniques and follows an ideology so ridiculous it will make you laugh out loud when you read their materials. L. Ron Hubbard was a phony, a fraud, and just a general train wreck for unleashing this pretend religion on the world.

For information about the truth of Scientology, go to xenu.net.

Scientology teaches that a person is an immortal spiritual being, endowed with abilities even if those abilities are not currently realized. The creator of the universe, one comes to know personally through Scientology counseling. Scientology encourages that one walk the path to that discovery, and has a method of doing so. As a result the beliefs of Scientologists about god are quite diverse.

Sorry, but that qualifies as religious belief, no matter how you try to deny it.

Because you don't understand nor bother to find out what our beliefs really are, yet insist on attacking them, you'll always be viewed as a hater and a bigot. You simply have no control over what Scientologists believe and never will.

'CHRISTIANITY is a cult, not a religion. It employs mind control techniques and follows an ideology so ridiculous it will make you laugh out loud when you read their materials. CHRIST was a phony, a fraud, and just a general train wreck for unleashing this pretend religion on the world.'

Scientology is no less legit than Christianity.

Wouldn't you be better served by your religion if you made up your own rather than subscribe to somebody elses.
