I can better tolerate barmy Scientologists than barmy religionists.
At least Scientologists don’t waste their time believing in a god.

It’s also interesting to compare the invention/spread of Scientology with Mormonism, which is also well documented.

@Maggs

The only difference between a cult and a religion is whether the amateur group (cult) has gone pro (religion).

The only meaningful difference is the degree of control of the members – that what we deem to be a “religion” has a more subtle control over thoughts and behaviours where the people appear to be engaged in the mainstream world than the cults who openly keep members from mainstream and often birth family participation.

After all, the various Church groups that organized the vote against gay marriage in California certainly exerted a lot of control over people.

@molto_sostenuto: I needed a “sarcastic” smiley. You are quite correct, as was I.

If the book was a stinking pile of excrement, what on earth was the film? I honestly thought that was one novel hollywood couldn’t make worse. Scarily, I was wrong.

Listening to the BBC news today on Conservative MP Philip Hollobone and his trouble with burkas, it occurred to me there is a solution to this mess that just might work: I call it…

Barcodes for Burkas!

NBH you appear to be another one of those reality deniers I lump with Flat Earthers: the Climate Science Deniers.

Anything passes for science or religion these days. Soon they will have a theological institute at East Anglea who’s dogma will demand blind unquestioning faith from desciples, massive titheing, and sport commandments carved in stone for the chosen to see. The profit will part the red ink on financial statements allowing selected carbon based life forms to pass on to massive returns on minimal investment.
