I would like to announce that unless I'm misinformed, today was the
first day of Spring in the northern hemisphere.

Re #244: you are incorrect. From the Scientology web site:
"Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to
itself, others and all of life. The Scientology religion comprises a body of
knowledge extending from certain fundamental truths."
Note "The Scientology religion".

re:244&246 actually, it's a pile of pseudo science any educated 10 year old
could see through. It baffles me how people fall for it. Then again mainstream
religions make even more fantastic claims in their "holy" books...

the former, but i get along.

"Scientology addresses the spirit not simply the body or mind and is
therefore completely apart from materialistic philosophies which hold that
man is a product of his environment or his genes."
"Scientology is a religion by its basic tenets, practice, historical
background and by the definition of the word religion itself. It is
recognized as such by courts in country after country around the world,
including the highest courts in the United States, Australia, Germany,
Sweden, Italy, Denmark and many others."
(http://www.theta.com/csla/whatis.html)
So if all those countries and their courts consider scientology a
religion, why doesn't tod?
The ultimate criterion for a religion is that it asserts the existence of
a supernatural entity. Here's what they say about that
"Most definitely. Scientology affirms the existence of a Supreme Being,
although its dogma is unique and does not include the worship of one.
Scientology believes that only through total spiritual enlightenment can
one then truly discover and understand the Supreme Being."
(http://www.scientology.org/en_US/religion/catechism/pg008.html)
So, scientology is by definition a religion.
I am, of course, not defending scientology in any way. I'm just lumping it
in with all the other cults of the supernatural.
