There are many things that get my goat up, intolerance and bigotry is one of them. Stupidity and hypocrisy are others, and the Church of Scientology is very much one of those organisations which i find not just dumb but plain dangerous hypocrites.
Long time member John Travolta recently made a statement about the use of drugs to treat mental illness:
I still think that if you analyse most of the school shootings, it is not gun control. It is (psychotropic) drugs at the bottom of it. source
This after Ton Cruise attacked the use of prescribed drugs to help combat Post Partum depression.
Why I hear you ask does the Church of Scientology dislike psychology and medical treatments for mental illness?
Quite simply because they use psychology to control their own members. The basis of how they operate, the concept of 'clearing' a person by asking them thousands of questions while the subject holds onto what is essentially a lie detector is akin to counselling.
Problem is though the details unearthed are kept and used to control a person in Scientology. And of course this from an organisation who believe we are all aliens, and of course started by a Science Fiction writer and was a serial liar!
I dislike Tom Cruise intensely and now I am adding John Travolta to my list. I think it's high time that Qantas distanced itself from John as well and removed his official ambassador status.
