Scientology, Buddhism, the Kabbalah... if it makes people's lives better, and easier, then I'll do it. Why not? People scoffed at Christianity 2,000 years ago, didn't they?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't really go down one path. I wouldn't call myself a Buddhist, or a Catholic or a Christian or a Muslim, or Jewish. I couldn't put myself into any organized faith.
I did not want to reject religion as nonsense because life seemed to have no ultimate purpose without it, and most of the good people I knew were Christians.
There are many, many Christians who practice Buddhism, and they become better and better Christians all the time.
Buddhism has had a major effect on who I am and how I think about the world. What I have learned is that I like all religions, but only parts of them.
I've dabbled in several different religions.
I'm open to all religions. Respecting Scientology is just like respecting any other religious view.
The great majority of Scientologists I know are good people who are genuinely interested in improving conditions on this planet and helping others.
Not counting the brand of Sunni Islam practised by the so-called Islamic State, there is probably no religion in the world that comes in for more flak than Scientology.
When I got religion, I found some work to do to benefit somebody.
I'm interested in the kind of religion that makes life harder. I'm not so interested in the comforting kind of religion.
