So a month ago I saw the Tom Cruise Scientology video, like so many others. And like so many others I was absolutely livid that these people can continue peddling their shit, ruining people’s lives and being as aggressive as any other group to anyone trying to expose them.
In that month, lots of stuff has happened. There was an early worldwide protest against Scientology earlier this month that I couldn’t take part in, but would have liked to.
On March 15, there’ll be another worldwide protest against Scientology. Go. Every single one of you reading this who’s not okay with people not only destroying lives but actually killing people under the guise of religion. It’s never okay.
Scientology has never been civilized, has always been pseudo-scientific and will always be calculating, deceptive, oppressive and ruthless. Enough people have been hurt, enough lives have been torn to shreds and wasted, enough lies and bullshit has been repackaged as truth. Scientology deserves to be erased from the face of the earth forever. We can do this.
Couldja link to some supporting evidence?

It has been linked already, somewhat indirectly. (The March 15 link led to the Stop Scientology Abuses site (youfoundthecard.com) which provides plenty of supporting evidence.
I personally rank it as one of the most vile things on earth, while acknowledging that there are entire nations bossing around their people right now. I consider a movement trying to expand (under the guise of “religion”, even) just as heinous.
I suppose some people will try to make this an argument about suppressing personal faith or belief; that underneath the Church of Scientology’s rule there’s some sort of genuine idea waiting to emerge. I call bullshit on this — the originator of the “religion” was the very same man (L. Ron Hubbard) who put the Church of Scientology up to its current path, and the worst crimes they are trying to deny are ones made possible by effectuating especially nasty rules on conduct established by Hubbard.
