[Haunted]

Haw! I should be tolerant towards religion due to a number of factors, but I can't handle Scientology.

Break down the name: It means, "the study of science." Er... If I'm not mistaken, science, even radical science like Quantum Physics tries to purge itself of anything that can't be tested. Religion can't really be tested by science, so science doesn't give religion a whole hell of a lot of credit. So, calling a religion Scientology just opens yourself up to a bunch of shit from many different perspectives.

My roommate in college was a huge Travolta fan, and like me has a BA in Religious Studies. We took a class together called: Cults and Religions on the Fringe. Our final was an essay where we were to pick a fringe religion or cult and do a research thesis on this community. She chose Scientology. By the end of her thesis she told me that not only were these the creepiest people she'd ever heard of, but that she'd lost all respect for John Travolta.

Personally, I've never seen a "religion" flaunt the use of brainwashing techniques, and then get away with it.

So...why in the hell are people still picking on NeoPagans? Go fuck with the Scientologists!
