It really pissed me off when I saw their huge stand at Collegefest - which is a thing for Boston college students where you get to win prizes and get free stuff. There were a lot of people listening to them speak too...I just wanted to shout "It's a cult!"

A cult is a church without political power

I view nearly all religion as cultish, but scientology more so than most others.

Everything I've read about it has led me to believe that it's a abusive nutjob cult.
