why don't atheists support scientology?

[leodeo]

Scientology gets a lot of bad rep from the media, but hey every religion has it cooks.

I been checking it out and I think its helping me a lot. YOu can go on their website and see local churches close to you (usually in bigger cities.)

Check out this video its only 1 minute long but its what motivated to give it a try:

see? Scientology is a quest for knowledge, just like atheism.

And i been going to the church and they havn't tried to take all my money - yes they sold me a couple books but nowadays the church has evolved that you dont have to spend all your money on auditing you can get a "self analysis" book and fix the negative energy within you urself!

its just a great community and the people are really firendly, please just the watch the video!

its just like atheism, int he video they talk about knowledge, non comformity, thinking for yourself, being a free thinker.

Are you kidding me? Seriously?

You expect a rational, skeptical person to buy into the woo-woo scam of Scientology?

You must be a troll. You are certainly not skeptical.

well im not saying u have to believe all the spirtual aspects - but isnt it just like atheism in the sense that its a "quest for knowledge" and finding out what is true for you?

[Faith No More]

Asking why atheists don't support Scientology is like asking why doctors don't support cancer.

well i just meant in the aspect of searching for knowledge and being a free thinker they are similar - also u dont have to necessarily believe in a god

[Faith No More]

Are you aware of the horrible things that go on within that organization? Have you heard any testimony from ex-Scientologists?

For your viewing pleasure...

[Doubting Thomas]

If you're really, truly searching for knowledge, you don't join a cult.

Yeah well, so much for politeness from scientology. Shame on them, spamming their propaganda.

[Sword of Christ]

There isn't anything particularly new in Scientology it's essentially just some of the elements of the esoteric/occult Western tradition repackaged in science fiction and delivered as an expensive self help course. The E-meter was originally developed by C. G. Jung as well. Throw in some hack science fiction about aliens being blown by nuclear bombs inside volcanoes. If you really want to know the truth here are the essentials you need to utilize on your spiritual journey.









I'll include the last one as that will build a sense of community and grounding in the world. All of this is free of course, or at least not as expensive as an auditing session would. And a good and much cheaper alternative psychiatry and self help courses.

Is this guy even trying?
