The relevance is that Scientology is for mad people. :(

But, but... Xenu and the Thetans! The Alien Confederacy! YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME IT ISN'T REAL ARE YOU!?
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.. ...
the other day my roomate started going on about scientology and asking me if id seen the videos on youtube and heard about the underground hacker gang called anonymous. sigh.
scientology is a pile of shit for this reason:
catholocism: based on the principle that the blessing of christ is passed down from bishop to bishop therefore maintaining a direct link to the original blessing of christ.
scientology: based on the fantastical machinations of a science fiction author.
Now thats only comparing it to catholicism. if you compare it to other major religions youll see that scientology is just as rediculous.
now if you feel like rebuking this dont try to rationalise it by saying "yeah but religion cant prove anything anymore than scientology can so scientology has every right to be a 'religion' too"
no because scientology doesnt have a mega huge ass history. scientology is the only religion where members have to pay to be a part of it, shouldnt faith be free? shount help be given freely?
also: seaorg lol
You need to establish a direct connection, or its as incriminating as to say, that he is a cellphone user and all celphone users are dangerous.
On topic: There will always people who buy stuff over shopping TV chanels and peope who join strange moovements. Its a freedom of speech and mind thing, until it can be prooven to be a danger.
Scientology is not exactly worth our support, but we dont want to dictate peoples life and what they are allowd to do in their privacy.
@Deimos: Every year, I get a letter asking me if I am still proceeding with my education, or if I am finished, so they can collect the church tax. There is no big diffrence between general religions and scientology. I do not think that any of us are able to draw a distinct line between a righteous blieve and and one that lacks.
What is an issue is the manners of these communites members, which are with some sects very openly malign and with other sects not so openly malign or not at all. If they are out to harm the public, if they are antidemocratic and violent in their acts, or put forth any other simliar kind of outrageous behaviour, they will be put to a stop.
Groups like these will likely drive their members into forsaking their former social contacts, including family; So will conservative chritian ones as well as islamic. Its tragic, but once again, you dont want the right to choose your own social environment be takne away form you as well.

Now you know...
Meh, leave people to practice mad religions on their own.
Whatever arguments Scientologists make, what it really is, is not a religion, but the worlds most successful scam. What I can't believe is that people actually fall for the bullshit. I mean, yeah, celebrities, but they'll leap at anything (And spend any amount of money...) to give their pathetic existences meaning. Thankfully it's not as widespread as it could be (Probably due to those fees), but how could anyone truly buy that the reason we do evil is because an alien overlord murdered a bunch of people on some mountain on earth, and their spirits (The 'Thetans') are the reason we do evil? Please! My five year old sister routinely comes up with better excuses then that!
Why would people believe in Scientology? Simply because there's a bunch of celebreties like Tom Cruise in it.
Why would those hollywood stars believe it in the first place? People with fame and power will get tons of freebies for just being in this "religion". Free travels, cars, hotels, houses...money money money. They will gain things without doin much but say " I'm a scientologist". This "religion" is doing this as a way to advertise their beliefs and make those "noobs" believe them.
How do they function? The believers are meant to pay a certain amount of money everytime they want to participate or get their mind "cleant". A certain whatever jumbo brainwashing session will happen as the believer pays a fee and blablablablablbala. it's a bunch of sound and then talking........at the end, the due will think some kind of miracle happened and they were relieved of their pain...woot?
Who started this religion? I dont recal the entire name but it was something Lafayette..a big liar who said so have gone some PhD while their where degree mill ( like...i call some dude and they send me a phd ceritficate ) and said he had accomplished X stuff. 99.99% of his claim were proved wrong already but scientologists denied them all. So ya, stupid ppl keeps believing them and.....and....it' stupid..
omg!! Xenu!!
I know your point and I knew someone would point that out. However this person seems to be part of a cult AND a serial killer. The thing is that I didn't even know there were scientologists over here until I checked it some days ago. Serial killers aren't really that common either.
Problem with Scientology is that that's what *they* want to do. They want you to give them money and keep shut about anything concerning the organization unless it pictures the "church" in a positive way.
Scientology is a criminal cult, and for that very reason is why it is illegal in Germany.
Scientology did the largest known infiltration of the U.S. government with the purpose to remove documents that the church did not agree with.

This is not simply some religion, but a dangerous cult.
And here is some more things that they've done:

These are dangerous people.
Anonymous has to take action and bring them down, now.
Down the those bastards.
I have no ****ing clue what anybody just said. What the **** are ya'll talking about??
Tom Cruise better watch out
and anyways I think the Illuminati/Freemasons are a bigger threat than some Scientologists
If you don't know who they are -> research
Wait, this is real? OH SHI-
I thought their website was a joke. D:
Hopefully, they don't really mail me anything...
They won't....
Right?
People said on the news how they were horrible.
Anonymous is bringing justice to the people and to society.
Anonymous is awesome.
Did you even read anything about them infiltrating our government? I'm not talking about simply trying to influence. I'm talking Cold-War KGB style infiltration into our government.
Hell, Hubbard himself, on his death bed, has said that Scientology is a big scam.
And that Scientology is outlawed in Germany is not "wrong". It's a cult, and cults are outlawed in Germany for very much the same reason that it's illegal for the Nazi party to be in Germany.
They use "religion" as a cover.
This is a criminal organization.
I can't make a large post as I'd like because I'm on work break, but here are two places to get started:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciento...nd_allegations
And yes, it's wikipedia. Which is why you look at the sources.
Yeah, that's their newest one.
I suggest you go to the actual video than watching it here though.
