Scientologist Dictionary:Religious Intolerance: Criticizing Scientology in any way. Is in no way related to religions other than Scientology. Used as a red herring to divert attention away from the criticism of Scientology. Used to evoke sympathy for a corrupt organization.Google Scientology Cult for more information

I'm an agnostic, and I prefer the scientific method so we can build a belief system on things we can demonstrate. :)

"charismatic figures to spread a completely untestable set of beliefs"Umm...isnt that kinda what all religions do?Thats what gets me people prosecute others before looking upon their own beliefs.not that I am saying you do or dont its just what people do in general.for all I know you could be atheist.but honestly what makes your (your as in every one reading) religion better? the vast majority of religions have history of a terrible oppressing past far worse than that of Scientology.

Oh and dont put words in my mouth, its a dangerous thing to do.

I dont know if your Christan but remember that Christianity and its many roots were forced upon thousands and thousands of people allong with many other religons. Now look all I am trying to say is that your comments are hypocritical and intolerant, you have no way to defend yourself especially against me.Its obvious that what you say is fueled by propaganda, people here and I'm sure around the world freely choose to be scientologists. You where wrong thats all their is to it.

When it comes to the American bit. Well you said: your a sick twisted person and if your are American, you have no right to call yourself American.Im my mind that means that you would like to decide whos american or not, insted of courts and places of birthright, being american is open to debate? Just wondering cause the issiue seems infected.. Maybe you are one of those people who think Dixie Chicks deserve to die because the said something negative about Bush. A lot of "real americans" did

I see Religion as a philosofie. Free of charge and open to debate. Scientology is not. They try to force, intimidate and harm those critical to their point. Scientology has been forced by law in many countries to rejekt thier claim to be a church. In USA they are welcome, in a way, because IRA forced their higher levels to be conducted at sea on international waters.Tom Cruise uses his Hollywood stardome to promote scientology, if Hollywood like that,OKIf they dont, they should not hire him.

Well I'm very happy places out side of the United states have religious freedom. Dont get me wrong though I am not ignorant, and I did know that religious tolerance existed outside of the USA before you so graciously reminded me.I dont see what your point is in saying what you did. and Just because you are not American does not mean what you said was not disgusting. and your rant on "freedom of religion" was ridiculous considering you kinda said "hollywood sees this and frezes Cruise out!"

And Tom Cruises hard earn money? He has been a dollar millonare since he was a teenager!As I stated, I wonder were his so called religion will leave him if he would not have had millions...maybe in the twisted,mentaly fragile, financially poor state that the other people who has left the "church" has been in...I dont care if people see Mickey Mouse as a god as long as they dont harm people.Scientology will stop at nothing to gain power and money, just like the Nazis.

dear forresnIm not American, USA is not the only country in the world with freedom of religion. In the rest of the civilised world its not only OK to be off different religious belife, its also OK to criticise them. Im proud of not being American.
