why can some posters break the rules

am i allowed to put Christian, or methodist, or catholic in my sig? if not, why caN another put his religious beliefs in his sig?

Who around here has put their religious beliefs in their sig? Just curious!

I guess it all depends. If your religion is in the majority, I would say it's generally not allowed by the powers that be. If your religion is in the minority, then probably it is okay. At least that's the way it's been on other boards I frequent.

a poster has a sig that says SCIENTOLOGY

op:

Oh, I didn't see that! :shock: I usually only notice the siggys that are really eye catching. I guess that siggy is not one of them. hee hee! We can't flame the Scientologist. That wouldn't be PC (sarcasm).

I'm a viking fan is that a religion or a cult?

Is this thread....... serious?


op: op:

I'd say that's more like a cult! :lol: (just kidding).

It is not against the rules to put a scientology picture in your signature.

Rules

If the (blank) don't stink, why stir it?
If it "offends" you, you can always "ignore" said poster.
I myslef think scientology is goofy.....but thats just my opinion.

It's neither...some might say 'stupid' though.

Goofy?

The ones I've encountered were downright scary.

Xenu's gonna get you!

LMAO

You are SO sued!

I thought the same thing as I read my way down the thread.

I also got a nice private message as well.

Good times ahead.

And if anything, starting a thread, singling someone out about their 'religious' Sig, seems to be against the rules

-Religious persecution

Stop persecuting people, Dh.

And Scientology isn't a religion so this thread is pointless. Other than stirring that pot.

Gonna be LONG offseason.

THAT ALL YOU GOT?????

I was reading down this thread, practically drooling to see your response, and that is it? It is going to be a VERY LONG offseason.

LOL. A thread this stupid isn't going to get the wrath of tromadz, man. I'm not angry at Dh or anything. I feel sorry for him actually.

Someone who thinks Scientology is a religion is as stupid as Scientologists themselves.

(there, you happy now?)

This stupid thread can be locked at any time, AADP. Do the thing you do.

But you still love Tom Cruise, right?

Anything with Tom Cruise as a spokesperson has got to be goofy. :lol:
Sorry, I just couldn't resist!

Nothing will ever stop my man-love for Maverick.

Not so fast... I have a question before this gets locked..

If they are going to hide behind the tax benefits tied to the churches and organized religion, are they not considered a reglion?

I know little to nothing about it.. so the above is a serious question, are they or aren't they a relious group?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology

Scientology is a body of beliefs and related practices as well as a profitable multinational network of corporations created by American speculative fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. Hubbard developed Scientology teachings in 1952 as a successor to his earlier self-help system, Dianetics.[1] Hubbard later characterized Scientology as an "applied religious philosophy" and the basis for a new religion.[1] Scientology encompasses a spiritual rehabilitation philosophy and techniques,[1] and covers topics such as morals, ethics, detoxification, education and management.

Scientology doctrine is disseminated in a semi-secular manner by the Association for Better Living and Education, which sells its use to Scientology-affiliated corporations such as Narconon,[5] Criminon[6] and Applied Scholastics.[7]

Scientology and the organizations that promote it have remained highly controversial since their inception. Journalists, courts and the governing bodies of several countries have stated that the Church of Scientology is a cult and an unscrupulous commercial enterprise that harasses its critics and abuses the trust of its members. Scientology officials argue that most negative press has been motivated by interest groups and that most of the controversy is past history.

Roger that, Goose.

I can't tell you until you come in for some audit counseling for a small fee.

LOL.. a true decendant of Hubbard himself.. well played.

They allow him to do it so we can all make fun of him or feel sorry for him, whatever you prefer.
