It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

Pardon? Towards the French or the whackos?

Well if they're blatantly ripping people off by telling them they have to donate their cash to get to meet Xenu or whatever, than that is fraud. Now in this case, they apparently reimbursed the person, but they're still so full of crap they don't know which end it comes out of.

They didnt force her. Organized religion has been taking money for hundreds of years its just mostly in smaller bits. Who is the government to stop these people? Ever heard of tithing? For years my relatives gave 10% of their yearly earnings to the church and trust a couple of thousand could've helped with kids. Spare me this line of the government is protecting the people Scientology is a scapegoat and France wants to feel enlightened. Whatever

I like this almost as much as the LHC... viva La France!
Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.

In the early church, people gave everything they owned.
In fact wasn't this the reason the rich young man walked away sorrowful? He wouldn't sell everything he had and give it to the poor.

Well unfortunately we didn´t have civilized governments when the catholic church started laying it´s tentacles around the world....you are absolutely right, what they did back in the day was no better than this.
But the truth is that we can´t get rid of them now....they have become part of the social fabric unfortunately and are not going anywhere...but to say that just because we couldn´t do anything about the old threats that we should do anything about the new one just to maintain some sort of "balance" is ridiculous.....one does what one can.

Actually scientologists do force people to pay if they wanna be apart of the cult.
While I have no respect for christianity or the other religions, they atleast don't require you to pay them money.
If you wanna donate money to them then that's fine, that's why they don't pay taxes afterall but it is still an optional thing.
It's not in scientology. If you don't give the church everything you own, then you are out. And the christian church atleast donates some of their money to charity, Scientology don't.
They spend their money conducting espionage on the goverments(they did conduct the largest domestic espionage in the history of the US) and on normal citizens just in case they dare to speak up against them.
And on their spare time they tell people about how psychiatry caused the holocaust and other things.
So the goverment should crack down on them since it's nothing but a cult run by criminals that sucks people dry and in some cases even killed them.
