Glad to see a decline in Scientology, but seeing Buzzfeed, a purveyor of kitty humor, become a preeminent source is too much to bear. The snark of that first paragraph is atrocious.

On the right path.

Maybe it really is time to recognize that tax-exemption of religion is a privilege that can be revoked if it’s being abused for hilariously obvious scams.

At least France got it right in not recognizing this comedic cult as a ‘religion.’ In the U.S. the taxpayers actually fund this fraud through the tax code.

That was a sad day in 1996 when Scientology successfully sued and took over CAN, the Cult Awareness Network. Imagine being steered from one cult to another. Isn’t Scientology the biggest scam there is? Well, next to Obama.

Is Scientology self-destructing?

I always thought the definition of Scientology was “self-destructing”.

This is one of the reasons, in addition to the recent antics of more TV preachers, that my lifelong Christian-conservative father told me outright that the church ought to be taxed. Tax-exemption for religious institutions has led to that much abuse.

Only if we’re lucky. On the bright side, they’re parody gold. I’m convinced they are the template for the Mindhead scenes in Bowfinger.
