Well, I havenâ€™t heard of any Christian or Muslim organisations getting their leaders convicted on criminal charges for running covert operations against government agencies, so there is that difference.

Well, islam was founded by a a person who was basically a gangster. He ran protection rackets and had people murdered, to give just two examples.

Hmmmmmmm guess you don’t know as much about Islam as you think you do hun lol

Re Scientology and other religions – this does present me with a bit of a paradox. On one hand, Scientology has exactly the same amount of evidence to back it up as any other religion, but on the other hand…you can say what you like about Christianity or Islam, but at least they weren’t invented in the 1950s by a hack science-fiction author and known fantasist.

Ha! Jesus and Mo are laughing at idiots, but they’re idiots, too!

And I’m laughing at them!

Wait…

I guess the only way to avoid this trap is to believe in nothing without evidence.

And, I like the “stupidity-Tax” idea.

It could be progressive tax, with the heaviest being applied to fundamentalists. All current Bush supporters would be in the higest bracket as well.

I like to refer to myself as an agnostic with latent atheistic tendencies. There is no objective evidence, so the lack of thereof goes against such a being.

Observing the state of humanity, I’d say there is no god, or there is an evil god, or the universe is run by a committee of incompetent gods, none of which agree with the others. In any case, none would be worth worshiping.

On the example of scientology it’s quite obvious why religious organisations should not be tax-exempt: they are all somekind of business, acctually they should be required to pay something like a “stupidity-tax” that should be used to fund public schools and universities.

Btw.: what a boring video!

Actually, I’m a strong atheist. There’s very little that Richard Dawkins and PZ Myers say that I find is going too far against theists. So, no I’m not the point. I just didn’t make myself clear enough.

Yes, I know, a religion is just a cult that has been around for long enough to make a claim for respect. I begrudge Scientology their claim on the respect given to religions, even though I do not have respect for any religion.

There are criminals in every large organisation and obviously when your business model involves parasites that legally take money from gullible fools in exchange for promises that will never be kept, well, watch out.

I still maintain that getting your organisation itself convicted on criminal charges puts Scientology a cut below the rest.

When someone can prove that any religion is not a superstition, I’ll
give it a thought. But, hey, I can PROVE that spitting on bait will get
a fish to bite. See, this was on the Skagit River, and we . . . .

Oh, never mind.

JohnnieCanuck (if still around) Enlighten us on something? Do you have a religion? And, if so, do you see yourself as a possible POINT to the whole cartoon?

“they are just a personality cult with overtones of organized crime.”

LOL

Sounds like the U.S. government. Only, in the case of president Cheney and his sock puppet G.W. Bush, I would say, a personality cult fronting for for their own organized crime.

Christian: the RC church and its systemic hiding of priests who rape altar boys.

Muslim: Al-qaeda, for starters.

Well, I hope Jesus and Mo would look at the mirror and say this to themselves! Along with their respective flocks!

Well, I haven’t heard of any Christian or Muslim organisations getting their leaders convicted on criminal charges for running covert operations against government agencies, so there is that difference. They take shunning to a higher (illegal) level than most religious cults do, as well.

Many countries have rejected their claim to be a religion. To me they are just a personality cult with overtones of organised crime.

Mo is being very insightful today… too bad he can’t see all the implications of his wisdom. Really, is Scientology any different from Christianity or Islam?

Then you watch this and stop laughing.
