    scientology is also a scam. they are the same. manipulation of people for money and power.

    the guy who created scientology was a sci fi writer who actually declared he was going to create a religion for monetary reasons, and then did so.

    Credit where credit is due, at least scientologists are the better educated of the bunch. Fuck them both, though.

      Yes. They at least have an aurora of a scientific organization.

        No, they don’t. Just because they have “scient” in the name doesn’t mean they have anything to do with science.

        They’re exactly as scientific as the Victorian spiritualists who talked about “vibrational energies” and such, which is to say, not at all.

    Personally, I don’t really feel that scientology is particularly worse than other religions. So you could just say that Trump supporters are more religious than political, really. Though, I don’t think that’s unique to Trump supporters, really - modern politics really is a lot more like a sort of religious thing rather than about the actual policy for a lot of people.
