I'd just like to chime in on the side against scientology. I'm all for religious freedom. Scientology is...different. I don't believe it's a religion either. Tully, if you don't know about some of the darker things with Scientology, feel free to go look them up. The difference to me between Scientology and the ugly side of other religions is A: Scientology is built around these atrocities (it's perpetrated by the entire core of the religion, only the fringe lower levels are uninvolved), and it's happening today. If I were to suddenly be teleported back to the crusades, yes I'd have a moral problem with Christianity at the time. So as it stands, I have a moral problem with Scientology today. If they stopped their death threads / other forms of coercion on nonbelievers/exbelievers/opponents today, I would be much more understanding in my view of them.
