Thankfully, on this comment page, among the hate-mongering bigots who've never read a Scientology book, or taken a course, who know nothing of what Scientology's all about and can only parrot the lies and distortions of cynics, naysayers and apostates, I see a few cooler heads who can address the subject rationally and who recognize the benefits of this religion to Mankind. 

So, to anyone else, who's not a narrow-minded bigot, who is also not a Scientologist, but who IS standing on the sidelines wondering what this fray is all about, I say this: 

Think for yourself. 

Read a book by Ron Hubbard instead of listening to others' often whacked out interpretations of him, his religion or his writings. 

Scientology, perennially attacked by the running dog press,  anti-religious fanatics, as well as corrupt people with something to hide, for which they could be jailed (who are paranoically afraid the Scientologists will find out), well, this Church would have long since gone by the wayside, except for one fact:  It delivers what it promises.  Spiritual freedom. 

Check it out.
