At one point, people found Christianity spooky.

No NRA ads, just trade the NRA slots fro the scientology ads.

Christianity never required pre-payment for one to be a member or kept its most holy doctrines hidden from its followers and the outside world. Scientology is a sci-fi tax scam that has evolved into one of the most authoritarian and scary groups of people on the planet.

There are evangelical churches that strongly encourage members to submit tax returns so that they make sure you are tithing enough.

Lay people in the church weren’t always allowed to read scripture.

Or even hear the service in their own language. Apparently God prefers Latin.

I am still hitting rewind, watching the Michigan coed’s tits bounce, at the end of the game.

Not really, they kept hitting the IRS legal department with so much paperwork it was making it impossible for the legal team to do anything else. Scientology forced the IRS into letting them be tax free.

Although the church repeatedly lost in legal cases which were heard up to the level of the Supreme Court, it undertook negotiations with the IRS from 1991 to find a settlement. In October 1993, the church and the IRS reached an agreement under which the church discontinued all of its litigation against the IRS and paid $12.5 million to settle a tax debt said to be around a billion dollars, and the IRS granted 153 Scientology-related corporate entities tax exemption and the right to declare their own subordinate organizations tax-exempt in future.

Why are you knighting for Scientology? Just playing the contrarian?

The truth is hard to take. It started as a cult. Just like all religions. Whether spread by Oracles, Mystics, Pastors, Shamans and Priests etc.... it's all the same. It just depends on what side of the world your are on or, what century you are in. A human construct to help understand the world around them that grew out of control.

Tithing and indulgences. Pretty terrible actually. Post-payments are much more lucrative.
