It looks as if this religion is trying to become more mainstream, since they are doing superbowl commercials. Please share personal experiences and opinions on this religion.

The Scientology Religion

Copenhagen School  Religious Views: Its all bullshit to keep you handing money to the usher.
SCAM!!
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Then I met a taxi driver joked about Scientologists and went on the search for Sylvester Stallone. Somehow I ended up in some scary place under a bridge giving a homeless woman all my change. Twas a strange day. 
No, it's worse than a scam. Scientology is fucking evil. And I don't use that world lightly. Satanism is another point of view. Drugs can fuck you up but who doesn't experiment. But the day one of my kids goes to a Scientology church is the day I lock them in the cellar and go burn the place to the ground.

I've always thought it's just another cult, but I don't think that qualifies as evil for you ... does it? 
Its just a meet up place where people can cheat on their spouses!!

On the other hand, lots of christians carry a torture device on their necks. I see many reasons for them to try to go mainstream, religion is a sure way to quickly get money, power and previlege.
 Quote:The Church of Scientology claims, based on its original study of cases and continuous affirmation from ongoing subjects, that a human is an immortal, spiritual being (termed thetan from the Greek word 'theta' meaning life force), that is in a physical body. The thetan has had innumerable past lives and it is observed in advanced Scientology texts that lives preceding the thetan's arrival on Earth lived in extraterrestrial cultures. Based on case studies at advanced levels, it is predicted that any Scientologists undergoing auditing will eventually come across and recount a common series of events. Truth be told, it is no stupider than any of the others. Granted, they have set the bar pretty low.

There's a culture of intimidation, both physical and psychological, underlying their organization. On top of that, if you're part of their organization and start to question them, they will punish you by basically turning you into a slave. There's some extremely nasty things going on behind their doors.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
