You might have noticed that America seems to be overflowing with lame criticism of Scientology.
Do you want to know just how much of this criticism you should believe?
Well, I have the answer for you - none of it. You should not believe any of it.
This criticism is ALL originating from
(1) former Scientologists - people who have failed at Scientology because they are not ethical enough, and
(2) criminals who have never been Scientologists, so they have no reality about it and have no basis to criticize it.
Such criticism from the uninformed is worthless.
The picture that most people get of Scientology is distorted by hatred and misinformation. Just because Scientology is unpopular doesn't mean it is wrong. For example, many people quote the March 2008 Gallup Poll on religions that found that most Americans have a negative view of Scientology, disliking it more than atheism or any other religion. This is a very deceptive and misleading poll.
The problem with the so-called poll is that most of the people surveyed were probably NOT Scientologists, and probably were criminals or atheists and thus have no basis for their opinions on religion. The people surveyed might not have even met a Scientologist. But the poll doesn't tell you that, thus distorting the picture. A proper survey would have surveyed opinion amongst Scientologists. The results would have been overwhelmingly positive.
The fact is that Scientologists are a minority trying to make the world better with proven technology that is clearing the planet of aberration, insanity and war. Many people oppose any social betterment activity, hence they oppose Scientology.
The legitimate source of information about Scientology is the Church itself. Anyone can borrow a Scientology book from a library, for free, and learn for themselves, just like John Travolta did. Check out the links.
