Re: Church of Scientology convicted of fraud in France
That is certainly true, but in cases of religion there can't be clear expectations, it is impossible, which is why the claims this group makes, much like the claims other religions make and claim as truth, can't be actionable in court. Claims based on verifiable facts and numbers like money, invest...

Re: Church of Scientology convicted of fraud in France
Meex I see your point and to a certain extent i agree but laws ARE set up to protect the vulnerable . After all Crack and Heroin dealers don't have to push their product but the public expect that the state steps in to "save" them from that evil menace . There is no doubt about why rules like this ...

Re: Church of Scientology convicted of fraud in France
Yes, that is true, but results of spiritual and religious processes/treatments by their very nature can't be clearly defined, regardless of what they say, yet it is done by them and other religious institutes daily. That is why I mentioned personal responsibility and the fact that I am conflicted a...

Re: Church of Scientology convicted of fraud in France
I'm kind of conflicted on how I feel about something like this. Basically, someone saying they didn't achieve their religious/spiritual goal and asking for their money back once leaving the church. What happens if someone is a member of another church (Methodist, Catholic, etc.) and decides to leav...

That is the whole issue, where is the line drawn? Surely, one could say that a claim of personal benefits by believing in God, attending church...
