How does Philosophy become a Religion? "Have A Nice Day" is a Religion?


I love this show because it take a bravery to walk away from believing in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the Easter Bunny and face life without crutches. You can't be happy if you don't respect yourself enough to spit in the eye of these worthless God to whom you sold your soul.

Your belief is worthless if it isn't the truth. It's worse than just a lie.

Life is what it is, folks. The worst thing you can ever do is try to be perfect or good because you will be ruthless and believe the ends justify the means because your GOD is on your side.

Where ever you are NOW is the place to be. Seeking a perfection outside yourself means YOU can never get THERE without little old you, just as you are.

Scientology is such a crock of *beep* Made up pseudoscience by a hack sci-fi writer to see how stupid gullible people were. And the crap about aliens and volcanoes and so on.

Any sane person would choose to reject this as a religion even if it were true. Who needs it? Just because something is an idea or even if it were real, you don't HAVE to worship it.

Weak-minded insipid fools dressing up in suits, signing over their paychecks, and for what? To be pet on the head like sheep by bunko artists?

Any truth where you have to go through a priest or a learned person to TELL you what to believe, really has sapped your will to think for yourself, to develop as yourself. That is all you can ever truly be, no matter how closely you stand next to a fairy tale and prey to wear your Master's Robes.

To answer your question, by going to war against the government, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White.

Although this operation was eventually discovered, Miscavige stepped up the war against the IRS in the 1980s and in 1993 the IRS caved. If you google Scientology IRS 1993 you cab find multiple articles.
