Also get those Mormons on the cookie game. A lot more people would be happy to see them if they were slinging thin mints and samoas.

Scientology is pretty fucked.
Southpark did it so much justice. I don't think Mormons are even bad people I just think the door to door shit is mildly annoying.

The Mormon church (LDS) asks 10% of the income of their faithful. This finances pilgrimages and bicycle helmets.

scientology is, at its core, evil in my view. at least the LDS wants to do what it believes to be good in the world, even if the things it does are highly questionable. but the agenda of the cats at the top with scientology seems purely malicious.

I consider Scientology a malicious parasite. With LDS they people at the very top believe they are doing a Greater Good. Scienmtology's top deliberately deceives for its own good, not a higher purpose, its kind of like a satanic church, it is based on fear/doubt/pain, not faith/hope/love.

Have you guys heard the Lord xenu shit in scientology? It's almost comical honestly.

Scientology was made up to sound like a somewhat believable religion by a science fiction writer/well known lier who saw the potential moola. But that doesn't stop the followers. Nothing stops the followers...

i think it's easy to lump the LDS church as a political actor in with its members; but it doesn't seem that cut and dry. the LDS church is acting for reasons that it deems good even though we may not see them that way, myself included. this is starkly different than what scientology is up to, even though a vast majority of its members are probably just as well intentioned as the mormons or really any religious devotees. in other words, even though both churches have many good people as devotees, both churches are monsters in the political sphere, and scientology is by far the most sinister, at least at this point in history. more on this below.
and i can only speak from a narrow range of experience because the girl i've been with for two years is mormon, and there just aren't that many in texas as far as i know, but she is the most selfless person i've ever met. even though we part ways philosophically from a religious standpoint, i can't say that i see any of the stereotypical traits that the media (as well as the LDS, admittedly) seems to push. i would say that her church friends are a bit rough around the edges socially, but that's how people from highly insular groups tend to be. but as a whole, generally, they strike me as people who only want to do good. i can't bash on that even if i don't buy into their belief system.
for those who haven't seen it, i highly recommend hbo's recent scientology expose going clear. utterly shocking and outrageous. hbo tends to have an impeccable sense of journalistic ethos, but even if only half of the stuff in the film is true it still sets scientology far apart from the other religions.

It is called a mission. They do not make money. They live for free usually 4 guys to an apartment. Church members help feed then.

Having lived and spoken a lot with a fairly high up former member of Scientology... the point of the religion is not so much the xenu shit... it is a technological pyramid scheme in which you can pay or volunteer with the church to gain more levels and more access to higher technologies. They specialize in techniques to facilitate past life remembrances, along with devices that use vibrational resonances in the body to remove disease/parasites... among a lot of other things we didn't ever get to - but yeah. It's about the technology not the beliefs.
As far as LDS... I grew up in a very high morman populated area (there are streets, named after the family living on it, with 6 houses in a row.. Grandparents, Parents, Parents, Kids, Kids, Kids... ) anyway.. Their religion is crazy in its own way obviously - but I have always found them to be very respectful - Never once have I heard a morman talk poorly or condescendingly of anothers religion or beliefs. They also work very hard, are kind, and focused. While not a lot of them were close friends, because of mutual differences.. They were awesome to have around for the most part and very reliable.
