From the article:
Quote:"Cult" charges against Scientology often stem from a cursory analysis of their beliefs about aliens, Thetans, and all that.
No they don't. If the author had done even one iota of research into the "cult" charges, he would have understood that they stem from the shit like the signing of billion year contracts, the oppression of members of the "Sea Org", the policy of "disconnection" from family members not in Scientology, and the disappearances and murders of Scientology members who showed signs of disobedience or tried to escape. Y'know, the kind of behaviour you only find in cults...
