Because Scientology is clearly fake and absurd whereas Mormonism is a perfectly respectable instituter. ROMNEY '12

I know, right? They seriously think that if you have a good marriage on Earth, you and your spouse get your own planet when you die...

Like sleepyjack said, scientology is just the same as any other religion. You shouldn't judge a person for something like that, honestly I don't see what scares people so much about scientology.

Scientology isn't scary, it's just ridiculous.

But why do people seem to think less of others if they are a scientologist? I've heard of far crazier things in religion than what scientology teaches. I think it may just be that westerners are so narrow-minded they tend to forget that there are more religious beliefs than just different denominations of Christianity. They know the few major ones, but anything else just frightens them.

But anyway I understand there is a great possibilty that I am not making any sense right now... as I haven't really thought about this until right now.

All religions are not the same and scientology certainly isn't .. Most religions are older and beliefs and practices have evolved over time in the minds of their believers and followers.

Scientology on the other hand is clearly designed as some kind of human fly-trap.

  • I would have a hierarchy with several levels where acceptance to the next level is somehow rewarded f.ex by heightened spiritual awareness and revealed secrets. Progress through these levels will serve as a filter, making sure only those most devout and most vulnerable to suggestion rise to power in my church which is good for loyalty etc. Those who rise become more and more into the religion and more and more subjected to suggestions softening up their sense of reason so that they will accept more and more outlandish things.
They prey on the weak and much of their true beliefs remain hidden unless you rise within the church and progress through the hierarchy serves as a filter by excluding anyone too smart or too hard to manipulate. It also opens you up for further manipulation as you have to accept more and more outlandish things. That way, they ensure that only people who can benefit the church as it is rise to power within it.

.. So it's not designed to do good, mission or preach morale or what they think is some kind of truth. It's designed to capture and gain power over people (and their money I bet). I think it's pretty horrible what they're doing.

Forget spiders and rats and maggots and all that silly whatnot. I am afraid of rickity ladders more than anything in the world. I just discovered this today when I had to paint our two story garage on........a rickity ladder. The damn thing kept creakin and movin and sliding around and I could have swore I was going to plummet 40 feet to my death.
