Blog: The War of the Hubbards - 2020-08-10
The War of the Hubbards August 10, 2020,
This is a blog post by one of our regular posters, Mike Westen (MWesten), entitled The War of the Hubbards. He asked me if I would like to share it here. I think it's a thought-provoking piece, with English spelling and all. You can see the full article at his blog by clicking on the link above. I have excerpted the part that focuses on scientology (he draws analogies to islam in his longer piece — I prefer to just focus on scientology here).
A question for scientologists: what do you actually stand for?
Scientologists are by no means unique when cherry-picking their most favoured scriptures. Practically all religions have scriptural dictates civilisations eventually outgrow. And religions that evolve, reform and modernise arguably remain a valuable addition to the marketplace of ideas, providing comfort and solace in a seemingly chaotic world.
