Though what they stand for sounds reasonable their religion has some thing to do with aliens. Now I don't mind people following such a thing, I mean atheists will say christianity is total bullshit aswell. What I have a problem with is that the religion was set up to make money. The founder is quoted as saying that being a writer won't make one rich you have to create a religion. From what I understand, people must donate a set ammount to be included in the religion. Their "Bible" is copyrighted and they have threatened to sue when someone posted a section of it on slashdot. Even worse are the stories about their intimidation tactics.
I am not completley happy with mine (and others) arguments againts scientology (it becomes somewhat tricky as I am Christian, and weigh up how my arguments could be used againts Christianity aswell). I just have a bad feeling about Scientology.
