Scientology?

I just watched a documentary about Scientology and I thought it is a quite fucked up "religion". My question to you is do you believe in Scientology? Do you believe it should be a church? Why do the "churches" look like apartment buildings?

Nah, I really don't know a shit ton about them. See the church places every once in a while though. I don't get all the hype.

do i believe in scientology? yes, it exists. though i dont share any beliefs with them. do i believe it should be a church? indifferent, people can believe whatever they want to believe. why do their churches look like apartment buildings? probably because old apartment buildings were renovated into churches.

I don't know. I read about it a bit and the bottom building was built in 1964 I believe.

OMG you are right. I've never thought about it like that before. That's actually super fucked up that their churches look like apartment buildings.

I think its bull shit they get tax exempt status, but then again it has just as much legitimacy as any other religion. Why the fuck do they not have to pay taxes again? Fuck religion and fuck scientology.

Hilariously, the Scientology South Park episode sums up the Church's beliefs pretty accurately

yes but the church of scientology is far less credible than many christian churches. It's not the belief itself that is the issue, but the organization promoting the belief.
