My cousin and I have lately studied and learned about Scientology, and we thought it would be interesting to see what other people know about it. I will appologize ahead of time- doing this on my iPod so I may spell somethings wrong- anyway so what do you all know about it? And is it a cult, religion, way of life (or some people think it's a business). ****We do not mean to be offesinve at all, we are just stating facts and other people have stated- if you are going to add something, please do not be offensive to this beilef****
Here are some facts:
-scientology was established by L. Ron Hubbard in 1954
-L. Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writter
-On average, it costs $6000 as a base price, and there are also "auditing" and "run downs"-an average scientologist can spend around $15000
-Many celeberties are scientologists; Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Ect.,
-L. Ron Hubbard said himself,"Writting for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion."
-While many people make fun of christanity, juddism and many other religions, several scientologists were very upset when south park had an episode about it
-Many people belive it's a religion, others say it's a cult and others say it's a business.

Scientology --- What exactly do Scientologists believe? Here is the answer. <p>
From our facts and what we know, be belive it's a cult more than a religion. For one, people worship their leaders, their devotion to the idea, people have to pay to be scientologists, and it has not been fully reconized as a religion yet. What do you guys know and/or think?
