Can we include the scientologists also?

Personally I don't need any more evidence to be sure they are knowing exploiters.

I don't usually endorse documentaries as a great source of information.  But the HBO special Going Clear, based on the book(which I haven't read, otherwise I might be endorsing that instead) does a pretty good job illustrating how obviously parasitic Scientology is. Not that you need to see the documentary to know that, I think most people already knew it's just a bunch of people looking to scam a bunch of other people.

Just read some of L Ron's fiction, nuf said. Believe this whole thing started off as a joke and got out of hand.

OP was really NoraBrimstone? Now there's a plot twist I didn't see coming.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

joke  should read:

scheme to make money


That's what Ron copped to in front of actual witnesses.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

With all the slacker, cherry picking, liberal, back sliding self-described christers we get here, it was refreshing to have a little fire and brimstone, even if the fire was an orange CFL, and the brimstone was  the EPA approved low sulphur shit


Hilarious

Don't even remember her.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue
