The only reason an intelligent man will remain religious is to appease his old-fashioned elders or to get that prim and proper pussy. There's no other explanation. They're just being nice to people who weren't as blessed with critical thought during their formative years as they perhaps should have been.

Good answer. I knew I shouldn't have come here.

Answer to what? There was no question in that. It was Just being derogatory towards people of faith

soma is an asshole

His avatar is literally a douche bag.

I really enjoy a lot of Tom Cruises movies, but I can't help but be a little creeped out by him.

That scientology shit is insane.

No more than Chrisitanity or Islam or any other religion, really.

Yeah, a bit more. Christianity is the foundation of our whole society, people have been believing those stories for thousands of years. That, I feel, lends it a certain credibility that Scientology just doesn't have (I feel the same way about mormonism).

I think you would struggle to find a religion that sounds more made up than Scientology.

I lived in a whale.

The sea parted so a few people could pass but then swallowed everyone else.

Xenu (/ˈziːnuː/),[1][2][3] also called "Xemu", was, according to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the dictator of the "Galactic Confederacy" who 75 million years ago brought billions[4][5] of his people to Earth (then known as "Teegeeack") in a DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes, and killed them with hydrogen bombs. Official Scientology scriptures hold that the thetans (immortal spirits) of these aliens adhere to humans, causing spiritual harm

I'm not saying Christianity isn't nuts, just that it's part of our cultural heritage, which makes it easier (and more understandable) to believe. Scientology, on the other hand, is very clearly a load of bullshit made up by a con man. Someone being a Christian doesn't make me lose respect for them, but someone being a scientologist does.

Also, Scientology's story is definitely crazier than Christianity's:
