Seriously, don't you think the world has, uh, slightly BIGGER problems that the spread of Scientology??
WTF?

shouldn't be kept in the dark because there are other problems that we are already failing to resolve. If you check my diary history I've already spoken out on many of these. Not to mention others have as well.
I wonder if you have included this same complaint in the last 2000 anti-hillary diaries as well? Or have you chosen to say it here because the mood strikes you?

what the sudden obsession in the blogosphere is with scientology.
This is a recent phonemonon, all these seemingly well-meaning people suddenly cluttering up blogs with these kinds of "OMG! Scientology! We must top it!" sorts of posts.
WHERE is this coming from? It's a sudden trend, and I see it everywhere.

Operation Clambake has been around since the 90s, and there's been heat-ups due to lawsuits (in both directions), reports of subversive and illegal activities by Scientologists against those they "fair game", copyright lunacy related to Hubbard's science-fiction holy texts, celebrities hitting the spotlight for this profit-driven cult, etc.
It's been going up and down for years.
This diary offers an interesting background and context for the upcoming demonstrations.
Your complaining sounds odd.

Europe has been aware of the same issues since the 1980s, to the point that in Germany Scientology was put under observation by their Constitution Protection Service.
I still haven't made up my mind on what the real story is. One of the sides is obviously running an elaborate propaganda campaign. I just can't tell which side.

i have watched it grow for a while. they are good caring people, with noble intent.
as to why they have targeted Scientology? Its probably a practice run for something much Much bigger.

I had hoped this would make the rec list but it's not looking good. Perhaps I should put an update in here bashing Hillary or Obama. That should be worth at least 300 recs.

OK, do you remember that Tom Cruise Video from the beginning of the year? Anonymous and/or The denizens of 4chan.org (warning - link is NSFW or anywhere else for that matter) got their hands on it and posted it to Youtube. It got spread around the web for a couple of days before CoS issued a DCMA takedown to youtube stating that it is proprietary church materials. That pissed them off, as they are trying to raise awareness of the cult, and believe in the freedom of information online, so they declared a war to remove the Church of Scientology from the internet (which as the originators of LOLCats, they believe is their domain), and to dismantle the Church organization as it now stands. They have no qualms with the faith, as it seems no more silly to them than any other religon, but believe that the CoS destroys lives and kills.

to vomit upon the world, write a diary.
Stop being a concern troll.
McCain just flushed his own campaign by his appearance at the FBF on Aug 16th, 2008.

Because no combination of words in entry were Troll worthy.
For the record, I think $cientology is a cult, and mock them at every opportunity.
First Gore, then Edwards, now Obama. But that's it!!!
