Is Scientology a Religion?

[weused2luvhim2]

Won’t be long Trumpism will be a religion. It will be good, the very, very good, the best religion ever. Everyone will know so much about it’ll be the greatest ever. They’ll build a wall around Mar a largo and they’re going to make Putin pay for It.

In the meantime, you can settle for a Trump-autographed Bible, if you can afford one. That's one heck of a collector's item. I wonder if he signed it with the same hand that he uses to grab women by the *****.

You leftists don't like Christians when they are overly prudish. Still don't like them when they can overlook locker room talk for successful, effective leadership of their country.

Sounds like Christians are more liberal than "liberals" these days.

Of course the real issue is they are the primary competitor of your chosen regressive PC religion. That, plus you are all infected with terminal TDS.

Scientologists:

* Have a rigid moral code based on a belief in a higher supernatural being or beings
* Believe that the supernatural permeates our lives through sacred (and profane) people, places, and things
* Perform various ritual acts (praying, singing, giving money, etc.) that often involve other like-minded followers
* Have tax-exempt status as a group as of 1993

Why wouldn't Scientology be considered a religion?

No religion should have tax exempt status.

I mean he did write the Bible. Only right he autographs it.

Here's my limited knowledge of the "Church" of Scientology... Give us your money...then we will determine how far up the CoS food chain you go up based on the amount of money you provide to the "Church" of Scientology.

Now, someone break down the CoS beyond that...

Once you're in, It's VERY difficult to extract yourself from it. Leah Remini did a documentary on her time as a Scientologist and the struggles she had.

Or the same one to fake a weather map

Christianity was a cult too until it gained more and more political power by adopting popular aspects of other cults in Rome gaining more followers until it was recognized by Constantine’s “conversion”.

Same with Islam. Same with Judaism. Scientology is on the same path.

Nah. Jesus Christ’s historicity is challenged by very few historians. Not saying you have to believe, as there is not much (if any) empirical evidence of a higher power; however, to act like Christianity is no different than Scientology is insulting and complete BS.

You know what’s really insulting?

An inability to accept that the historical Jesus wasn’t white.

Everything else you claim is just you unable to accept the hard truth and history.

Not really. Jesus was born in the Middle East. Not hard for me to accept.
