The Human Condition 5: Attacking Scientology

I find this fascinating. I really do. I've been reading up on Scientology lately, perusing various websites in search of what it is they stand for, what it is they adhere to. And the results are unsettling at best. I've read most of the books in the "Left Behind" series, and the parallels between this religion and the one described within the novels are staggering. Establishes man as God? Check. There is no truth established save for that which we establish for ourselves? Check. Whatever you want to believe is fine, as there is no preset deity to worship or not worship? Check. Seriously. The posture of this "faith" is unnerving, riddled with contradictions and lies. Its not surprising it has grown to the size that it has, seeing how it seems to tell people exactly what they want to hear about themselves. And I believe that in the near future, the very near future, this "church" is going to surface as a major enemy against the Cross. Well placed and influential people already flock to it, granting Scientology a measure of status and power that most cults could never dream of. And the ambiguous nature of this establishment allows it room to grow, to breed, to enfold different sects and cults that, while they may not call themselves Scientologists, fit neatly into the frame of the "church." Seeing as how there are no limits, no deities to pay respects to, and seeing that tolerance is one of the cornerstones of the structure, I wouldn't be surprised to find that many cults of Satanists or Wiccan have already pledged allegiance to this nightmarish institution. For those of you concerned with spiritual warfare or the welfare of the church, I would look into this little band. For those of you who are not Christians, or who may very well be Scientologists themselves, I implore you to read the following. It is my hope to expose the loopholes and lies that I have already found (after only about an hours worth of study). Scientology is a fresh evil, and I fear it will only grow stronger without real intervention (via prayer and supplication) by the followers of Christ.
