I Have A Question
1. Can you summarize your beliefs in a few sentences to a paragraph?
2. What is most misunderstood about your religion?
3. What do you have to say to those who think Scientology is dumb/inaccurate?
.
The answer is easy. Religion can best be described as that which answers the aged old question of what are we, where am I going, is there more to me than my physical body? These questions are ancient. Scientology answers these questions. That is it. You are a spirit, and you follow certain laws as distinct to the physical universe laws. When you know what these laws are, life becomes easy. It is that simple.
2. The most misunderstood thing is that people do not know what religion is, and that there are two subcategories of religion.
The first is that man is a spirit, and that he is answerable to those who speak from God. These are revealed religions. The other subcategory is the natural religion. This is whereby a man or men have tried to fathom and get answers to what are the universal laws that govern man as a spirit – that is, what is man, what is this spirit, what is this life force that we all answer to as “I”, and how do we relate to the allness-of-all, or creator of creations.
It is that simple.
3. If someone thinks Scientology to be dumb, I cannot think badly of that person because that person almost certainly could not tell me what life itself is, so how could I expect them to think well of something that studies life. Of course they cannot. For example, if I was a nomad tribesman and I had never seen a car, and some person told me he worked on cars, I might think him stupid too.
If you gave me more space I could spend more answering your questions, but these are good questions.
I hope this helps.
