    • And Christianity is guilt free?!?
      All of things Scientology is accused of, Christianity has done as well. Why is noone threatening investigations and litigation against the Roman Catholic church?
      Most religions are pretty power hungry. Most religions zero in on money. The major ones also tend to be homophobic. Come to think of it, those that don't zero in on power, money, and encourage homophobia don't seem to get the respect they deserve from the other religions. *sigh* It's all a little too high school for me.

    • It's a slippery slope when you draw a line anywhere as to what justifies religion. It's so difficult to define and being one of the most important liberties to Americans I think the line should rarely if ever be drawn. No institution however, should ever be exempt from liabilities for civil or criminal activites.

    • Religions are an important step in the transformation from animal to human being, in order to achieve a secular ethical conscience ...
      Everyone has their own way to go, there is only one way for everyone, each person has different needs and must make his way ..... if you need this or that religion is and should be your choice

      traslated from
      le religioni sono una tappa importante nella trasformazione da animale ad essere umano, per poter giungere ad una coscienza etica laica...
      ognuno ha la sua strada da percorrere, non esiste una sola via per tutti, ogni persona ha esigenze diverse e deve fare il suo cammino..... se ha bisogno di questa o quest'altra religione è, e deve essere una sua scelta
