Here's something to consider for those of you that are not religious or on the fence.
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
Logically either all religions are either false or only ONE is true since they conflict.
If one is true and the world is being run by evil that is lying to us then that true religion would be disproportionally attacked while false ones would be left alone or encouraged.
I can only think of one religion that is attacked above all others.... Christianity.
If it's being attacked / misrepresented by the people trying to enslave / kill me then it must be a threat to them / their plans.
Ergo you should examine Christianity.
Scientology most attacked by a mile
Thats a cult started by a sci-fi writer 70 years ago. Religions require a belief in god(s) not aliens.
Basic category error.
As Asimov so eloquently wrote in his Foundation series: for religion to exist all you need is a rigorous system firmly in place and a differential in knowledge coupled with dependence and awe.
Your view expressed here is a perfect examples of this. You have no clue as to what faith is. Faith is the interior awakening of the Spirit of truth. It is the effect of a cause, a cause setting in motion a chain of events within you, that will lead to awakening.
It is not based on a religare, or religion, but on the discovery of the eternal truth within you. Religion is meant to keep you in your place, to control you, to actually prevent the process of the discovery of self.
You prove my point perfectly. You "know" certainties about the "cult" but you have never studied Hubbard's words extensively nor participated in it's practice. What you know is what others have told you about it and those others have been every source of mainstream media information available. And it's been done for several decades. No, no brainwashing involved here!
I don't need to join scientology to know it's a cult. I have studied it however. I'm one of the researchers for the podcast Cultish.
I didn't prove you point, you just assumed your way there.
