No More Mr. Nice Guy!

Scientology is a cult

A 15-year-old boy in England has been charged by police, under some sort of hate speech law, for calling Scientology a cult.

By Xenu! How incredibly stupid. The international criminal conspiracy known as Scientology is far worse than a cult. At least cults are usually started by people who are sincere, if insane. But the corrupt, sinister and dangerous cabal of Scientology is a criminal enterprise that has ripped off millions of dollars from its victims by cynically wrapping itself in the cloak of religion and recycling the space-opera potboilers of some has-been hack as sacred mythology.

The sorry spectacle of British bobbies harassing a teenager for speaking the truth is a perfect example of why it is so harmful and wrong to give religion a special place of privilege in society and exempt it from valid criticism. And the cosy relationship between British Scientologists and some of the top policemen in London makes this prosecution all the more outrageous.

Let me say in solidarity with the victim of this abuse of police power:

SCIENTOLOGY IS A CULT!
