ChadTower:
Sure they are, but when the beliefs include price tags, the whole concept goes right out the window.

Many religions have barriers to entry, some of them financial. Shall we ban all them, too?

Absolutely. The more you ban the better I like it. Ban 'em all, I say.

L. Ron Hubbard is quoted as saying "Want to make money? Form a religion!"
...nice.

They are being allowed to believe what they want - and society is commenting on it. No one is passing laws against their practices or stoning them in the town square. If they didn't have A list celebrities on television acting like lunatics most people wouldn't have even heard of Scientology. They are bringing the ridicule on themselves.
shardian:
It's the lunatic part that ruins their image. For instance, John Travolta has been a scientologist for a LONG time, near 30 years IIRC, and most people don't even know that. If they do, they learned very recently because of Tom Cruise. Most of them keep their mouths shut. Tom Cruise has become an image poison. I doubt anyone other than Spielberg even wants him anymore. He just can't keep his mouth shut and thinks he has the know all end all answer to everything.
...speaking of that, can anyone confirm Tommy is Tom Cruise? That would explain so much. ;D
