“Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot, I know of no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.” Perhaps a gunpowder treason is in order? |

Once I tried to read a second-hand book about scientology to see what it was all about. I had to stop reading because: a) it was more retarded and inconsistent than the bible, b) it was boring as hell.

Oh, dude, try Dianetics. Bullshit presented as science. As someone who reads a lot of medical and psychological journals and studies, it was like reading a comic book. I actually laughed out loud.

Why stop at parliament?
Tyler Durden: In the world I see - you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forests around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You'll wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You'll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you'll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway. This whole place needs a reboot, Scientology is just a symptom of a larger issue with mankind, people are grasping at straws and clinging to every small hope that there is something is larger than themselves, something grand and ethereal. That is the fallacy of religion and cults and self help courses, there is nothing grander than you, or me... any of us. The ones in charge of these institutions are crooks, from clergy to the Scientology auditors to the guy at the week long self help course in the wilderness that is trying to help you get in touch with something that you think you have lost. Maybe it was never there in the first place. Perhaps they all just want your money, or your time, or your ass. I hope every day for the fall of mankind, I hope that a virus or war, or invading aliens come and wipe out 95% of the population, and we start all over. That is our only salvation. Perhaps I'll be a postman... |

I saw one of the protests out in front of the Co$ building here in Vancouver
I hung out for a bit, got my picture taken by a Scifag, got screamed at and called a Scientologist for taking some pictures of the protest with my camera (if only they knew), then left to go do some campaigning for the By-Election. It was pretty funny to be honest, Scientology undoubtedly had people in masks quietly "protesting" but I try to go up and talk to them honestly and I get scremed at... I realize there's no way to convince them I'm not a scientologist outside of behaving unlike a Scientologist. Somehow, "I'm a marijuana activist for the BCMP who hates scientology" didn't cut it. Weird. |

I was a supporter for these protests until it dawned on me that this is an example of REALLY bad prioritization.
Is the CoS really as big a problem as the GWOT? Don't people have more serious things to protest about? |

Well, I seem to be late to the party, but I'll jump in anyway as I tried to do when I started a post on the topic.
I don't see any reasonable person who has read anything about religion and Scientology confusing the traditional Christianity with what anyone with half a brain can see to be a cult purely in it for the money, so I will leave that nonsensical argument for others to fight. What I can say is that I find it extraordinary how the internet has galvanized people to protest this scam. My fear is that the current under 30 crowd has such a short attention span (sorry, I don't mean to offend, but it's true). I think they mean well and want to fight the good fight, but do they have the endurance? As for myself, I confess that I am a coward and can only support the protest so far. I cannot afford to have scientology try to ruin me...I have too much to lose. But insofar as I can, I support anonymous and their fight. |
Well, since they have their "fair game" doctrine - I guess it can work both ways.
