Both religions were founded as cults and the Jehovah's Witnesses remain so.
However, Scientology is just stupid at a level that even Joe Smith couldn't get to. A bloated, pill-popping author of second-rate science fiction made it up as a joke.

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

I agree. When I read that I thought "bullshit". Especially about the JW's. *NM*

I beg to differ. Scientology is more ridiculous than the other religions mentioned.

To you, perhaps. To me it's a wonderful fantasy like the rest. No more or less believable.

The view of history is not monolithic. You are entitled to your views.

Right. Unlike Christianity, which has harming your neighbor as one of its central precepts.
