20th century: Nazis. 21st century: Scientologists?

[Eli]

I don't know, just if you ask me whenever I look at Scientology, I immediately think "Nazis!" straight after.
Seriously, these guys are either going to help create the next world war and kill us all, die trying, or will fizzle out soon.
I sure hope they just fizzle out soon because their growing masses are making me feel at danger. It'd be alright if they kept to themselves, but I reckon soon they'll be kidnapping and forcing people to convert.

What do you think on this disturbing matter?

Even though it sounds a bit harsh to call them Nazis, I don't think they're above it.
If given enough power, it wouldn't be much of a stretch (to me) to see co$ forcing people to join, taking their money, and going beyond stalking people to intimidate them. The basis of the way they treat people is very nasty and frightening, and it's almost impossible for people to speak their mind about co$ without having to watch their back for several years.

I read on one of the anti-COS sites that a lot of scientololgists think they were Nazi's in a past life. Here is the link: Scientologists Claiming to be NAZI's in past lives

Interesting, eh?

The morality of Scientology is utilitarian, interestingly enough.

They're not a political party, so i'm having difficulty associating them with Nazism.

[Grimmlok]

They're political the instant they interfere or use their influence to change anything.

True dat.
Besides, politics were only a part of the Nazis. Don't forget they were also insane. Clearly completely insane for the most part, albeit brainwashed to a degree. But also, threats are part of what made them so powerful. And I saw this thing on 60 Minutes roughly a year ago where this BBC reported interfered with Scientologists to see what they'd do, and they stalked him, had people loom ominously around him at all times (to be seen on purpose) and even made a web-page about him pointing out everything he'd ever done.
So, I don't know. I don't suppose they do have the vast political stance Nazis had, but you know, politics is only part of it.

Btw... Co$???
