German Official Wants Scientology Ban

BERLIN (AP) - Germany could be asked to ban the U.S.-based Church of Scientology under a Hamburg security official's proposal that contends the group violates human rights.

 

Hamburg's secretary of the interior, Udo Nagel, plans to seek a nationwide ban of Scientology at this week's meeting of top German security officials, spokeswoman Ulrike Sweden said Monday.

 

The German government considers Scientology a commercial enterprise that takes advantage of vulnerable people. During the summer, it initially refused to allow the producers of a movie starring Scientology member Tom Cruise as Germany's most famous anti-Hitler plotter to film at the site where the hero was executed, although it did not expressly state Scientology as its reason.

That's what L. Ron Hubbard did. He was only a moderately successful sci-fi writer. He claims in [color:red]Dianetics[/color] that he spent many years doing "research", but his then wife said he just sat at a typewriter and pounded away at whatever came of his head. I believe it ... ever tried to make sense out of that book? :p

 

A colleague and I years ago used to joke about becoming TV evangelists. "Keep them cards 'n' letters comin' in. We need money!"

 

Somebody needs to come up with an organised non-religion for atheists. Got to be a way to make money out of them too. :hmmm:
