Scientology is the most controversial ‘new religion’ the western world has seen in centuries.
Some call it a verified religion. Some cal it nothing more than a commercial enterprise and others simply label it a fanatical cult.
Scientology literally translates to mean, “the study of truth” and the organisations founder L. Ron Hubbard and the hordes of American celebrities affiliated with the group, most notably Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Isaac Hayes ,have certainly generated many channels in the last 10 years of spreading that truth. But what are they talking about?
The Aims of Scientology – Taken form Scientology.org
-A civilization without insanity, without criminals and without war, where the able can prosper and honest beings can have rights, and where man is free to rise to greater heights.
-Nonpolitical in nature, Scientology welcomes any individual of any creed, race or nation.
-We seek no revolution. We seek only evolution to higher states of being for the individual and for society. We are achieving our aims.
-After endless millennia of ignorance about himself, his mind and the universe, a breakthrough has been made for man.
-The combined truths of fifty thousand years of thinking men, distilled and amplified by new discoveries about man, have made for this success.
-We welcome you to Scientology. We only expect of you your help in achieving our aims and helping others. We expect you to be helped.
-In a turbulent world, the job is not easy. But then, if it were, we wouldn't have to be doing it.
-We respect man and believe he is worthy of help. We respect you and believe you, too, can help.
-Scientology does not owe its help. We have done nothing to cause us to propitiate. Had we done so, we would not now be bright enough to do what we are doing.
-Man suspects all offers of help. He has often been betrayed, his confidence shattered. Too frequently he has given his trust and been betrayed. We may err, for we build a world with broken straws. But we will never betray your faith in us so long as you are one of us.
Following the release of the latest scientology diatribe from Tom Cruise the religion has once again been given some media attention. The video is really quite frightening. Not only is the manner in which Cruise delivers his ideas and beliefs frightening but the way that he speaks in such general terms - constantly repeating the same phrases of spiritual babble - is what really made me tremble in my seat .
The religion/organisation/cult has some very scarry moral superiority overtones. The way that Cruise speaks as if he and other scientologists are higher beings is worrying, frightening and of real concern.

It seems to me that if I find a pot on the street that has decayed over time ... and I start to tell you how that pot decayed, and how it will decay in years to come... and how I am omnipotent as far as that pot is concerned, and as far as you are concerned where information concerning that pot is concerned. I have earned my Scientologicalness.
As a reader of religions, I tried to read their 'Bible' once and ended up with a headache and nausea for three days, although I really like Battlefield Earth, that was pretty schmick ... and in my opinion more believeable than the whole cult put together, especially Cruise.
