Scrabulous, Atheism and Scientology

Now I am desperate. I just clicked on a link that appears as an advertisement on the Scrabulous page of Facebook. I’m in the middle of an opening losing streak – did you know it’s possible to score better than 200 points and still be beaten by 200 points.
Ouch! No I didn’t either.

So, as a distraction from my losing ways and in order to avoid the temptation to cheat, I decided to follow the flashing golden cross that Google so thoughtfully provides on my Scrabulous game page.

Anyway the link I clicked took me to the Scientology Video Channel. I’m a sucker for new things. What I don’t know about Scientology would fill a book, what I do know is that the “only major religion to have begun in the 20th century” (I might dispute this if I could be bothered) is a crackpot cult and a dangerous sect that trades on ignorance and fear.

For example,

• The Creed of the Church of Scientology not only includes our fundamental beliefs but the God-given rights of every human being. [Such as?]
• Every one of us is an immortal soul

The flash animation is interesting it begins:

We of the church believe that all men of whatever race, color, or creed were created with equal rights.

Heard enough? I know I have. Maybe not quite.

That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write freely their own opinions.

Why then does the so-called “Church” spend so much of its precious resource (cash) to fight off and pursue critics?

I like this site where a J Drake has posted the top 10 problems with Scientology at ListUniverse Holysmoke.com (link broke?).

I also like the campaign by Anonymous to expose Scientology and its chief hoaxers like Tom Cruise.

The Anonymous campaign began in late January with this video on YouTube.

I like their style.

And this site where Scientology Celebs are outed.
