Re:Why not declare war on religion in general? (Score 1)

That's a good point. I find that people who have a real problem with Scientology either have problems with religion in general, and find Scientology an easy target, or are Christians who are don't want any distractions from the Savior's message. Notice the anti-Mormon and anti Christian posts here on this topic.

I am a Scientologist. I am because I have read and applied the information I found freely in books and other published materials of Scientology and found it to be workable and worthwhile. I am fully aware of the controversies and problems surrounding our religion. I feel profoundly for those who have been victims of either bad people and/or bad policy. And yet, I remain. Why?

Why is a Catholic a Catholic despite pedophile priests and the Inquisition? Why is an atheist an atheist despite the legacies and atrocities of Stalin, Marx, and Mao? Why is a Muslim a Muslim despite radical Islam? Why is a Baptist a Baptist despite Televangelists?

Because there is something profound and meaningful underneath all the BS that rings of Truth.

I have studied religion and biological science deeply. I found that Truth is universal. To me, Scientology helps me organize that Truth.
