Or something.

As I’ve said here before, I’m all for the clams being a religion. They have as much claim as any other sky-fairy worshipping loons.

However, don’t piss off the nerds, for they have skillz.

With any luck, Peaches Geldof possibly joining the scientologists won’t be enough to save them.

This massive article, seeded by some leavers,  is well worth ploughing through and might even encourage you to an anonymous protest.

Some choice nuggets:

Physical violence permeated Scientology’s international management team. Miscavige (current leader) set the tone, routinely attacking his lieutenants. Rinder says the leader attacked him some 50 times.

To prop up revenues, Miscavige has turned to long-time parishioners, urging them to buy material that the church markets as must-have, improved sacred scripture.

Staffers are disciplined and controlled by a multi­layered system of “ecclesiastical justice.” It includes publicly confessing sins and crimes to a group of peers, being ordered to jump into a pool fully clothed, facing embarrassing “security checks” or, worse, being isolated as a “suppressive person.”

But, as I’ve said before, Scientology, based as it is on totally made up stuff, ranks right up there with the rest and should therefore be recognised as a religion.
