Christianity

Let's say for the sake of argument there is no difference. So what is your opinion of Scientology?

Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, who was the Son of God. His teachings are of love and helping others through His etwrnal love and sacrifice.
Scientology is a fictional belief that was created by a science fiction writer, and isbased on brainwashing and bullying. The two are as different as it gets.

Well, the two big things - Christianity worships Jesus Christ - a man who actually lived, performed miracles, and rose from the dead. And before anyone gets it into their head to argue this, don't. You'll make yourself look foolish. There are many atheists who have tried to disprove these facts and can't. It's been proven.

Scientology worships an alien created by a science fiction author who only wanted his creation to become a religion for tax purposes.

And the second - Christians don't force you to study the bible for more and more money per book. They don't have a PR department to spread lies. They don't separate parents from children and demand you disconnect from anyone who doesn't believe in God. They don't send out teams to follow people in dark SUVs and harass them on the streets. And they don't extort every penny they can from you.

I guarantee you, if I walked in to my church on Sunday and announced that I was leaving, I would have people wish me luck on my next step. How do I know? Because I've had friends who have done this and the reaction they got was nothing but supportive. Try that in Scientology and see where it gets you.

Or any other religion for that matter?

If you look at conventional religions, they have a supernatural being that is worshiped- one definition of religion I read said it involved a supernatural being. Christians have God, Muslims have Allah, Buddhists have Buddha, Hindus have several deities. The Greeks and Romans had several gods. $cientology involves man as god, which is contrary to most historical worship.

Most definitely. In Scientology, the concept of God is expressed as the Eighth Dynamic—the urge toward existence as infinity. This is also identified as the Supreme Being. As the Eighth Dynamic, the Scientology concept of God rests at the very apex of universal survival. As L. Ron Hubbard wrote in Science of Survival:

“No culture in the history of the world, save the thoroughly depraved and expiring ones, has failed to affirm the existence of a Supreme Being. It is an empirical observation that men without a strong and lasting faith in a Supreme Being are less capable, less ethical and less valuable to themselves and society....A man without an abiding faith is, by observation alone, more of a thing than a man.”

Unlike religions with Judeo-Christian origins, the Church of Scientology has no set dogma concerning God that it imposes on its members. As with all its tenets, Scientology does not ask individuals to accept anything on faith alone. Rather, as one’s level of spiritual awareness increases through participation in Scientology auditing and training, one attains his own certainty of every dynamic. Accordingly, only when the Seventh Dynamic (spiritual) is reached in its entirety will one discover and come to a full understanding of the Eighth Dynamic (infinity) and one’s relationship to the Supreme Being.


What an absolutely stupid question. You are watching the show, right. Otherwise why would you come here to comment? You know the differences already you are just trolling!

While Christianity does encourage the members to give a tithe to the church (usually 10% of their income if they can) or a mission, they don't force it nor do they keep track and pester you to. They don't force you to pay to play in other words. They wont kick you out if you refuse to donate, they wont encourage or force you to disconnect with your family if they leave the church nor will they force your family to disconnect from you if you leave, most will say their door is open for when you want to come back. They are also very open, at least the churches I've been to, to open discussion, debate and criticism about the bible. That's what a lot of Bible studies are, to discuss what you and others think certain passages mean and how it can be used in your life. Yes there's a huge business involved, yes there's a lot of books, classes and other things you can get to help further your education or faith but it's not required. They wont turn someone away for lack of money, they are probably much more involved in actually helping the poor than Scientology. I can think of quite a few Christian and Catholic charities that do locally but never heard of a Scientology one. Another huge difference is that Scientology seems to have a very relaxed and accepting view of divorce and abortion. Christians openly oppose abortion and while they don't condemn someone for getting a divorce it's not something that's openly supported unless it's extreme like abuse. If I had to sum it up I'd say a Christians main goal is to serve God, a Scientologist main goal is to serve the church.

I don't know enough about Scientology to state the difference between it and my religion. I can see how someone without faith would look at others and question the validity. My being a Christian doesn't hurt you or others so I should be free to believe what I believe. I think Scientologists should be allowed to believe what they believe.

To me this isn't about the religion - its about people being taken advantage of. People being held against their will and abused is wrong for any group.

People want to hand over all their money or - if they're an adult - sign over their life to a religion who are we to say they can't?

Christianity is a religion based on Catholocism with a holy text called The Bible that was designed to be initially confusing.

For example holy texts are often confusing but on certain aspects a clear message is easily conveyed. For example "think with a pure heart". Some things in the second part that Jesus said in a time and place for a specific reason may make even that thought initially confusing.

So because it's confusing extra compared to most religions (because they would be confusing too, but then you stumble on gold) there is a lot of information to be conveyed by the Catholic Church to explain why Jesus said that from a particular saint that beared certain weight and the thoughts and information that was conveyed on this saint can be checked by many people studying the information.

So there is an entry point through a saint for example that is dead and presumed to be good or a hero, something like that, to explain.

If someone was a child molester, they would be slowed down and drawn away from it by giving them all that information but at least you can get away from a specific person.

In a Protestant church anyone can go up there and say anything but the guy that wants it most is the child molester, so he's more likely to have an even bigger influence on the collective mind... if he was involved in a Catholic church though, he would still have to spend all this time learning all this stuff that gets checked against many others, and at least that would slow him down for what could be prevented given the initial belief system... Better trade.... someone could win at least individually.


But that's just fluff. The defining aspect is that Christianity like Islam has the Old Testament in front of it. It is a ten commandments based faith.


It is based on the teachings of a Masonic Jew, a Jewish guy that thought of himself as a servant of the god of the Jews, an Egyptian Warlord, that could rise through a single jew at any time... A lot of Jews were slaves in Egyptian times but since their god was the other guy's god of war, the other guy knew they could still get from the slaves if their lord of war was to rise through the slaves.... so that was the flavor of this Jewish East African slavery system.

Jesus was a masonic Jew. There is a god to the jews within me that exists across the universe, he would be in me too, but not my god, more of him in the North Star for example, more of him in Palestine for example, and the Jews had complicated practices of worship.

Jesus believed that the easiest way to reach real jew status was the 10 commandments. The ten commandments is a system of ten things to uphold and if you break one then try to save the other... so someone born gay that engages in homosexuality, or the thoughts of homosexuality, now he has a sin that gives him a power to uphold something else.


Since it is so easy peasy to gain understanding and worship the egyptian warlord that I can say but won't cuz I'm not trying to turn people away from Islam, Judaism, and Catholicism (only Protestantism so I could say his name, but I'm not sure it's the best political play to get my way attacking only Protestantism... Since I can say his name now he has someone that can convey his greatness and only NOW can he have glory... So I don't feel bad not making him my God.

Because people have to not make him God to sing praises of his name and glorify him, so I feel safe not making him my god but now out of respect he can't be my personal God.

10 commandments since there is so much to run to is the easiest way of worship.


Now someone that worships this deity could worship any deity as a god, L Ron. But then they are only worshipping the real god within L ron, the Egyptian warlord, and you know what, I changed my mind. I will say his name because I already declared my intentions and why I can say it, Jehova.

But then they only REALLY believe that that specific Egyptian Warlord within L Ron is God.


L Ron is god of many but on earth he was primarily trying to be God of people and fish. He is a space traveler as a deity but he figured out that the nicest way that people can be to fish is to check the prayer. His defining characteristic as a God is that he checks the prayer of what the worshipper is praying for against the worshipper's internal standard, to make sure that worshipper is praying for the right thing. He gives warning but he would even attack the worshipper before he helped in a harmful way, at least relatively. Since no God was around that checks the prayer, the mind programming the first thing, among other things he tried to do, he tried to create a God that checks a prayer.

So there are many shades of this L Ron as a space traveler. He could be a cheat. He could be a charleton. He could be within the ten commandments. As a space traveler he only explores the agreed to spaces as a deity but that means there are many ranges of the man.

You try to pass a lie detector test. He has a lot of external force which means he was quite sickly. He took a bunch of schizo pills to have super anxiety but if the E Meter according to Leah is a lie detector, he turned it around, and that poisonous medication was giving him a way to pass a lie detector in a way that has emotional control.

There's a controversy regarding what he may have done in his lifetime but since he is a god of ranges, the question would be is he trying to uphold something good? What was the eternal effect? The question is since he checks the prayer regardless of whatever he did to uphold good values, is that a more important eternal effect as a deity?

Scientology as a church appears to be highly organized and not freely taught because they can only teach a few people relative to the desirable capacity. So self learning from books and stuff like this over time of L Ron is one thing, but the church has standard organized religion issue (systematically there may be reasonings to limit corruption but it's still a lot of people) but because of the limited relative capacity it's probably going to cost a fortune, time and/or money, to get more hands on with it in modern times.

By books, learning with others, I guess there's a way to do it, but officially, time or money, because of the limited relative capacity, it's going to cost a fortune.

I might be wrong about some stuff but I'm pretty sure this is fairly accurate, except for minor things that might not be precise on the button.


Now beyond this, I personally believe he had an idea that you can't make Noah's Ark because then it would be twisted but it's an idea that by working on relationships between humans and fish on earth, he does most to help the earth.


So he came up with this revolutionary idea to audit the prayer as a deity, and we worship today and for all times on earth beings from other dimensions or places or imbued in the nature of creation, and none of these creatures that we currently worship audit the prayer.


I don't know if he ever found of a dead deity that tried to do this, audit the prayer, and he became an avatar, or a human representation for it, but if he ever did it, he would become that... but did that deity reach earth before this?

But that was his idea and that is why he's roaming the galaxy for God.... but whatever fact or fiction was before a certain point, I tried to keep it relatively factual but a little imprecise to not get carried away... but that's my personal thought, how he in an immortal state is trying to get a following... go to planets, and try to work on relationships between the two prevailing species that he deems is the most good to save that planet... and maybe he is worshiped in other parts of the galaxy or other dimensions for this revolutionary idea that in modern times has not been reached by humanity at large (audit the prayer) by a deity. And working on relations between the two species that improving relations will improve that planet is how he's trying to gain a universal/multi-dimensional following.
