By the way I dont know of any cases where scientology directly caused death. But I do know if you dont take medicine for certain illnesses you will die.
Yeah when you put it in perspective religion is almost always the underlying reason for war. This is one of the main reasons why I am agnostic.
But sometimes the reason people join a religion is because they believe it can help them with whatever problems they have. When you believe that everything happens for a reason, and your life is in "god's hands" it makes life a lot less stressful. So if people believe that they can seek refuge through scientology then I am completely fine with it and wont criticize either way.
Diablo fenatic you should probably just stick to your countdown. I am not automatically labeling scientology as a fraud or bullshit religion. Like I said before, I completely respect scientology as a practicing religion. All I'm saying is that I disagree with their beliefs with regard to psychiatriy and psychology. And that their views about psychology and psychiatry are unreasonable.
Yeah some of their views are a bit extreme. The whole medicine thing its just absurd. Tom Cruise if you want to live as a scientologist then so be it, but dont go around encouraging people to not take drugs when they are sick. I personally think Tom Cruise is the creepiest person ever. He just gives off this frightening, creepy vibe. And for the scientologists who think that people are misunderstanding them, then get different spokespeople because the ones you have are ruining your reputaion, and are making you look like nutcases.
I just dont think they should ignorantly criticize psychology and psychiatry. The arguments they are giving against these fields are clearly unreasonable. I have no problem if scientology helps people get through stresses in their lives. If it helps them then im 100% for it, and I will respect anyone who consults scientology for help.
I just dont understand why Scientologists have such a problem with these fields of study. Psychologists can't even prescribe medicine, only psychiatrists can.
Many people go through traumatic experiences and life and go through talk therapy with a psychologist and it has helped them enormously. Im curious to know what kind of treatment scientologists provide to one another when they go through a traumatic experience. If anyone knows I would love to hear it.
I believe psychologist live a very rewarding life. You get to help people when they go through hard times. You can save their life and get the chance to make it better. It is also fascinating to learn about the functions of the brain, behavior, how are memory works, and how we perceive things. Its a great career. I dont know why scientologists are so offended by it.
And by the way calling psychiatry or psychology a psuedoscience is just completely bogus.
How do you guys feel about scientology? I think its completely bogus, and as a psychology/philosophy major I am frankly offended about their views any form of psychiatry or psychology. Watch this clip and look at how ridiculous this interview gets (especially from 3 minutes in the clip is only about 5 minutes long).
Also, Tom Cruise's latest interview is downright creepy. He claims that when he sees an accident if feels inclined to help, because he thinks he is the only person that can actually help. The whole thing is just bizzare.
