Christianity is the same as Scientology
#9
RE: Christianity is the same as Scientology
The figures aren't quite right DP. Scientology will take a lot due to the mandatory buying of auditing by its followers. Christians are strongly encouraged to tithe, however ever since the reformation they do not need to buy God's forgiveness. I'm aware of a number of people who have been financially supported by various Christian churches.

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK


"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
