Here's what you need to know. The minute that anyone opens their mouth to talk about religion they talk utter nonsense. And that includes the "atheists." It takes a lifetime of the most careful study and reflection to even begin to talk about religion, and most folks are in a rush to get on with their important lives. So we are drowning in an ocean of stupidity and absurdity. As far as "Scientology" is concerned, someone should mention to them that you can't take one word from Latin and one word from Greek and jam them together to make a good English word. What they produce is pseudo-religion and pseudo-philosophy. If one were going to cultivate an interest in western religion it would be best to look not at beliefs but at ritual and prayer, for which the Eastern Orthodox Church is the best. On the other hand, a more cosmopolitan approach would embrace the far east, and Tibetan Buddhism of the north or the Vipassana (Therevada) of the south.
I would recommend Buddhist practice and a careful study of the complete works of William Shakespeare read over the course of a lifetime. Above all, avoid the atheists, another group of pseudo-philosophers.
I think Scientology is idiotic. Is this normal?
