This isn’t about freedom of religion. This is about a cult (well actually a corporation masquerading as a religion) which is responsible for numerous deaths, dissapearances, ideological terrorism, brainwashing, and a heaping spoonful of taking advantage of their followers. I have no problem with people believing whatever they want – but I don’t think you should have to pay for your beliefs. And if you choose to believe something else, members of your old religion shouldn’t go out of their way to fuck up your life. Which is par for the course for scientologists.

As for anon being a bunch of 14 year olds – check it out before you make your decision – the other protests in the country have been attended mostly by adults.

And by the way, the moustache and goatee is originally Guy Fawkes, a symbol of protest. This image has been coopted by V for Vendetta and Epic Fail Guy, but his original meaning is protest.

@Ando
It’s the moustache taken from the Fawkesian mask worn by V, from the film V for Vendetta. If you haven’t seen the film, fucking watch it NOW! V is a Discordian.

@ryu: There’s another thing. Go to a scientology library, and they’ll specifically tell you ‘We’re not a religion. We’re an alternative to therapy.” Fuckin hell.
.
I didn’t say anything about the volcano or thetans or shit. Hail all the damned Xenus you want. I’m saying they need to tighten up civil law (something that needs to happen anyway) and start slapping multi-million dollar reckless litigation fines on the fuckers. Just because you invented some religion on your yacht doesn’t give you the right to debase the very foundations of the judicial system, and human society as a whole. Nor does it give you the right to torture a girl to death. Hail Xenu in the privacy of your own Church without suing or killing anybody damnit.

@ Phyreblade
It’s to make him look like Epic Fail Guy, I think. (google it if you don’t know)

I’d be going to the London one but I’m busy.

The difference between Scientology and other recognised religions (Scientology IS a recognised religion and has tax exempt status in many countries) lies in it’s aggressive tactics, brainwashing and blatant deceitfulness.

I say let the nut-jobs have their “religion.” They’re easier to poke fun at when they are all grouped together.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Read the whole thing…freedom of religion…
