Scientology ought to have some appeal to atheists seeing as it contains much of the word "science" the thing they worship.

And plenty of the petty sniping that you christians seem to enjoy so much.

Amen brother! These unsaved trash heaps worship science with all those facts and repeatable experiments and peer review and all that logic. They only have science but we have Jesus.

And in the words of Pastor Deacon Fred, "you don't need facts when you got Jesus".

That reminds me, I forgot to sacrifice a goat to Stephen Hawking and tithe 10% of my income to NASA. Forgive me Einstein, for I know not what I do!

The great thing about science is that it doesn't require worship.

Whatever you have in place of God in your mind is your Golden Calf.

Scientology ought to have some appeal to Christians seeing as it contains much of the same cult mentality that Christianity has.

At least we would know a golden calf were real. But why anyone would want to worship it is beyond me.

It should appeal more to atheists as God is entirely irrelevant to it. Or perhaps Raelianism would appeal even more, God is an alien, perfectly scientific and nothing at all supernatural about it. Though if God was a created being there's the classic question of who created God and who created him and so on. Atheists like to try and apply that to an eternal God who always existed without understanding the point.

This guy here is technically in the same camp as you. Does he look like the a figure of enlightened reason? This is what what can happen when you start to claim God doesn't exist or is irrelevant, daft cults like Scientology and Raelianism.

Science is real it just isn't God. It's a tool to understand the creation of God.

Worship doesn't have to mean waving your arms around and blowing a trumpet at something. It's what you're ultimately invested in, your Holy of Hollies the ultimate truth, the be all and end all.

Well, their version of god has the same amount of evidence the christian god has: Zero, Nada, Nyet, nothing.

I love that line "find out what is true for you" when it comes to learning about the universe. It essentially means, "I believe what I want to believe and say it's true."
