Xsaurus, would you lie to save your own life?
Just as Planned.

Donate. One day it could be your family.

I don't see how Scientology is any different from Catholicism. Both bow to a centralised body that has done and continues to do awful things, both have had heads that admit it's all bullsh*t, both have absurd beliefs about reality... the similarities are endless.
No offence, Joph.

Well, the Church does appropriate funds for the wealth of those in its upper tiers, but it is a voluntary donation, so I guess it's different.

Both are voluntary. You just end up in different hell equivalencies if you don't.

Call it "hell equity", say.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Not exactly fond of either, but Catholicism doesn't have billion-year contracts where you sign your life away to be on some weird private navy.

I thought giving your immortal soul to Jesus was a longer contract than a billion years.
That, and the 5% tithe was typically prescribed as the amount to be given for salvation. Not in more moderate modern congregations, to be sure. And heck, Indulgences are analogous to Auditing in function if not form.
Just as Planned.
Yea, but you're also not on a private Jesus slave boat for the rest of your natural life.
In the past, there were indulgences and compulsory tithes, but I only really care about the similarities in the context of modern times. Catholicism may be goofy sky fairy stories, but at least there's the excuse of them being culturally prescribed. Scientologist celebrities believe plane-rocket stories without any childhood interference.

None taken. I disagree but I can't see the value in getting into it.

It's amazing how rarely I leave a discussion on religion and think "Well, that certainly was fruitful..."

If you were seeking fruitful discussions you wouldn't debate politics, neh?
Just as Planned.
I don't mind discussing religion if we set up some ground rules:
1. Preaching is just as bad as lambasting believers.
2. Mormons are straight crazy.
3. The Amish make the best pies.
