Scientology is basically the ideas, philosophy, and thoughts of L. Ron Hubbard. You can read more about him here (a non-scientologist site)
Yeah, science fiction writer turned philosopher L. Ron Hubbard started it as a series of self-improvement techniques (both spiritual and practical) and eventually it grew into a full-fledged religion. Their main goal is (like most religions) simply an improvement on human life, but they have some odd beliefs ("Upper level" teachings include something about an intergalactic warlord corrupting souls...more like stuff from Hubbard's fiction novels than any real religion).
But Tom Cruise believe in it, so it MUST be true!

If you can call it a religion
Originally posted by ckingIt's more like a pick your own religion type thing. I went to a "church" of scientolofy once to get a oersonality test checked that they sent out in the mail. I was mainly curious about the church so I took it, She said whatever you believe is right and they don't do church like stuff.
it is just a man made religion.

Yeah. It was on their website, supposedly free with no strings attached, and I didn't even give them my real name and stuff. Apparently from my email alone (since I had to have that correct so they'd send me the results of the personality test) they found out my name and phone number. Creepy stuff.
Now they won't stop sending me emails, and someone tried to call me. And on top of that, the 'test' said I was pretty much entirely messed up and needed "Immediate attention" in many areas of my life. Not a great way to make a first impression..."Hello sir, we're here to stalk you since nothing about your life is good." It's a wonder anyone joins
