    Forgot what?

    It is true that it is not banned in Britain. Most European countries were looking to ban it. I am just trying to figure out what they mean by "real Religion". Is Satanism a "real Religion"? Because as far as i know it is not banned in Europe, at least on the surface no official banning AFAIK.

    Ha ha. Were it that simple. Your general lack of knowledge in power and politics in this matter is glaringly obvious. This post doesn't really deserve much more of a response other then a simple statement to say that any discussion of this idea is way off topic. We would see the Vatican burning before it would happen in most civilized countries. You haven't got a clue to the true power behind the Papal throne and the (IOR). . . . and neither do I.

    You're missing the point. As usual.
    Being a for-profit organisation isn't illegal. Nor did I imply it was.
    But claiming to be a religion (and getting the subsequent tax breaks) while not being a religion is not allowed.

    That does not come under any definition of religion.

    Er, obviously the courts do (at least in this case). Idiot.
    What's your definition of a religion?

    By the way:

    It was obviously designed as a religion. Hubbard sadi so, he had ,many good ideas, he had many visions. You cannot say it is not a religion, no one can say it is not a religion.

    Who is to say ehat a real religion is and what a real religion is not. You tell me.

    False.
    It was designed as a money-maker for Hubbard.

    Well he would, otherwise people wouldn't pay him.

    Name one.

    Wrong and... wrong.

    Try to look up the definition of religion. Scientology doesn't fit.

    At least you're nearly on-topic. You may be a crank, but you're hardly influential. Although with a lot of effort you may be in a few years.

    Er, which part of SCIENTOLOGY itself claimed to be a philosophical, NOT A RELIGIOUS organization.
    FFS, get a clue or sod off.

    Why dont you answer the questions to back up the little snippets (you get from any old web sites. do you know there are billions of pages on the internet that can claim anything?) in your posts.

    I did, try reading.
    I forget, you don't bother to look at links do you? In case you accidentally learn something.

    Dywyddyr,

    This is the quote you lifted:

    I asked to explain the difference.

    I don't need to explain since it was their own claim.
    They stated they weren't a religious organisation.

    So what?

    That depends on how you look at it.


    Philosophy or Religion. Makes no difference.

    Since BY THEIR ADMISSION they aren't religion, what do you mean "so what?"

    Wrong.

    It has been suggested to me that you're a really clever troll and not actually as perniciously stupid as you appear to be.
    I still can't decide. What do you say, are really a troll doing this for fun?
