I don't want to hate a group of people, but they really test me.

What we need is freedom from religion.
- You do.juhls
- Have it? Not as much as you might think..TheyLookLikeUs

Look, truth is: many people need God, many people need a therapist, but everyone's journey is personal, and nobody has secret knowledge.

scientology isn't a religion
- ukit0
Sure it is, no different from any other
- small world you live ineieio
- Why do you say that?ukit
- because obviously its vastly different from the real world religions but you can't see iteieio
- Just my opinion bro, no need to get snootyukit
- its a narrow opinioneieio
- It passes the basic test of being a religion, I don't think religion can be judged on its content.ukit
- whether it passes a general definition of religion or not its still extremely different in content and intent then the real world religionseieio
- real world religionseieio
- "real world" is very subjective. You're lending more weight to mainstream religions simply b/c of their numbers of followers, social acceptability, etcukit
- social acceptability, etc.ukit
- 'real world' religions, as you put them, are simply older. All from the same pot otherwise.detritus

well at least they got some supplies there. let 'em sell their god (not that they actually have a deity to sell) if they like.
i don't see any atheist group sending supplies and touting their argument to balance things out though.
- http://www.ffrf.org/… are donatingTheyLookLikeUs
- And the Richard Dawkins Foundation.TheyLookLikeUs
- are the fuckers there though! no, they're scamming the cash, cause there's no heaven anyway.airey
- so no good vs evil, no gates of heaven, etc etc. lol.airey
- But isn't scientology's daily agenda to scam cash? And if anyone is the scammer here it's Bush/ClintonTheyLookLikeUs

Wouldn't atheists kind of not have a group by definition?
- no. they believe in no god, no no groups.airey
- But getting atheists together is like herding cats, why have a group for not believing something?TheyLookLikeUs
- i also see the irony. and i like it.airey
- airey0
and i won't even fucking start on the pope and his minions of poverty.

for ukit:
"Atheism can be the rejection of theism,[1] or the position that deities do not exist.[2] In the broadest sense, it is the absence of belief in the existence of deities."
i think you'r confusing it with the popular misconception of nihilism perhaps?
- eieio0
lots of types of atheists. some religions are atheistic religions. there is no god in scientology just a super alien or something
- airey0
i've always found the atheists the same as the religious, both desperate to be right and 'know the answer' to something we couldn't possibly know.
all i know is that the haiti thing happened due to the haarp experiment.
- And the war in the Middle East isn't for oil it's for the Stargate in the Gulf of Aden right?TheyLookLikeUs
- ukit0
Yeah thanks, I understand what it means. Do you think most atheists belong to an atheist group of some kind? A few maybe but most don't.
- ukit0
But yeah, good for the scientologists for helping. I for one am not going to hate on them just because they believe in thetans and jumping on couches.

we'll all have red faces when we meet up in the QBN bus shelter just outside the gates of xenu when the end comes. not allowed in yet nowhere else to go. an afterlifetime of this kind of conversation without the ability to kill yourself.
- flashbender0
oh man airey, a qbn with no chance of getting out... frightening.
Also, really, how is what they are doing any different than the Christian charities? They are all there to help people and spread the word of their faith in an attempt to get new members.

As long as Dawkins (the pole bearer) agrees that life on earth wasn't accidental but could have only be brought by an "intelligent" "something".
I'm fine with atheism.
