Re: What Really Happens In The Church of Scientology
If someone puts two different cars before you and overall you don’t like either of them, you are still able to do a comparison of individual components of the two cars and in doing so you’ll find one will come out on top. Take Islam out of the picture if you’re so averse to it. If any other religion (Judaism/buddhism etc) emphasizes cleanliness in eating and sleeping …then in that aspect it is superior to scientology. You had said that if scientology and it’s practices sound crazy…so should those of other religions and that you see no difference…and that makes no sense. In everyday life, Theorist, you find yourself making a comparison between products and opportunities and experiences…and in the end you are able to discern which one is better …so why does this ability to discern shut off when it comes to comparing individual aspects of religion? I’m not forcing you to accept and follow Islam. I was addressing your view in that you see no difference at all in practices.
Even people who are atheists or who are discontent with the religion of their family and go on a search to find the truth…go through a comparison process of the practices in various religions and their fundamental beliefs. And in the end …even if they haven’t found the truth…they are still able to acknowledge which practices/beliefs of which religions they found to be more logical etc…without submitting to any particular faith.
I have seen you say that you feel uncertain about which religion is the truth…alright…fine. If you don’t want to believe/follow in any religion…that’s fine; your decision. Not wanting to follow any religion, however, should not shut down your ability to assess or discern between practices. So, if you’re uncertain or opposed to religions on the whole and you’re also going to deem all their practices equally crazy…then what is that? Stubborness?
