The other thing that needs to be said is that yes, religion as a general term has some shady reference to it. Why? Because for thousands of years "religion" has promised to save people, to help people, to be the path that will answer all those unanswerable questions. These things have been promised, but never delivered. For those reasons, a large ercentage of the population reject religion. Scientology makes similar claims, but the difference is, for anyone who cares to check it out, answers are reached. Results DO occur. For all those who claim different, I ask, " What is it that you have done to the Church of Scientology that you wouldn't want others to know about? Answer that question honestly and you will find the root of all hostility towards Scientology.

What have we DONE to the Church of Scientology????

Nothing.

I have a clear conscience. So, that ploy won't work on me.

Have you learned some Scientology technology, then laid claim against it? If not, the question didn't apply to you.

Okay, you guys don't come across as being good, decent people to me. I don't give a rip about your "Scientology technology," either. You seem to spend a lot of time trying to defend your beliefs rather than spending time doing good things while on this planet. That's scary. Very scary . . . Kinda reminds me of a Stepford wife. . .
