What is you thoughts on this fraud business claiming to be a church, but destroying its members lives, and stealing their money?
And if there are  scientologist ( I doubt it. )  on here please explain to me how you can follow a story book writers version of evil lord Xenu, sole catchers, and all the other apparent bullshit this cult leader brainwashed you into believing, while his follower take your money, and feed on your fears, and doubts?

If there are others out there who feel like i do, please express your thoughts on this matter.

Most of the things in the Bible though (except things which are obviously metaphors like creation in a seven day period) can be backed up with archaeological evidence and ancient government records from places like Egypt and the surrounding areas.

Not if you go to my church. At my church you either have to be on drugs or had to have used drugs, been molested or raped, poor, gay or bi, have had an abortion or promoted abortion to a women, drink or have been a drinker or done time in a correctional facility. 

If you can't meet at least one of those criteria, you're out

sure, a lot of it can be backed up... sort of. Like the flood, yes, but confined to only a small area, not the whole world. Little things like that, sure.

Women cant teach

men cant "trim the corners of their beards"

stoning your kids for not believing

on and on and on

It was probably the shit at one time

but come on, it has turned into something outrageous, if not dated to say the least.

keep it to your church, dont go out on missions trying to recruit people and 'spread the word' thats called brain washing

plus your motivating people by pain and pleasure, avoiding hell, and getting heaven. If the christian god needs to dangle heaven in my face to get me to join.... and threaten me with hell....

All of the legalisms you quoted have been purposely twisted or are from the old testament, so they don't apply any more.

Hell is a made up place. Get on some hebrew/greek translations with some Jewish history and that is apparent. Hell at worst is a place that those who are hate filled are exterminated, and why not?  Heaven would be hell to them, so it's actually mercy. But the whole eternal damnation thing is extra biblical and a hateful idea.  Either way, love based on fear is not love, and out of God's character. More like human manipulation.

The cross is a symbol of God's love to his children. Where do the scriptures ever have Christ threatening anyone except the crooked religious leaders who were harming the very people they had pledged to uplift, and those who ignore the poor? You'd think if God's message was one of wrath He would have let loose a few times wouldn't ya. But he didn't, it was a message of love.

Now if you'll please excuse me, I gotta go back to working on my plans to burn down religious institutions in America
