" Every other religion doesn't charge money for you to move up in order to find out their actual beliefs."
"Tithe".
Almost every religion requires some kind of sacrafice in one form or another to find out their actual beliefs. The pope probably knows more about christianity than some lowly workaholic in new york city(of course that depends on how you look at it), and a buddhist monk who gave up all of his life's possessions might know more about "buddhism" than you(that's probably a better example).
"Every other religion doesn't use threats to keep you a member of their group."
You're going to hell.
" It is ignorance in my opinion to compare it to other religions or say it doesn't seem any less wacko."
I said, "About as wacko as any other religion out there"(semantics). Are you saying no other religions have wacko like tendencies, that only scientology has a little bit of wacko?
"Every other reilgion wasn't made a few decades ago by a science fiction writer who claimed the way to get rich was to invent a religion."
That sounds more like money grubbing than wacko. Wacko would generally provide some sort of craziness factor.
Please provide us/me with more information on scientology, I'm interested in learning about it. I do find it hilarious that people blow up scientology to be abig thing, then most of it turns out to be misunderstood.
My point in it being wacko was that the people who believe it don't really know what they are believing and probably don't really care. Scientology is actually a very good example of that, but so is damn near every other religion, it's just a bit more subtle.
Intergalactic walrus? That's hilarious. Are you guys sure scientology isn't just some kind of joke taken too seriously? Also, he said women shouldn't breastfeed. That's also hilarious to me for some reason.
