[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] I wouldn't call myself an atheist, that would presume I knew enough to make an intelligent judgement as to religion (any and all) being entierly wrong. Agnostic is usually the answer I give as I don't believe I'll even know enough to be sure...at least until I croak, perhaps not even then. As far as Scientology goes, sounds like your average embryonic religion to me; they always seam to start out weird and out there, perhaps even misunderstood. If that statement seams at odds with the previous one, know that my problem with organised religion isn't with people who are religious or have faith, it's with the "organised" part. Which usually amounts to allot of hypocritical bastards using people's faith and/or fear to control them and tell them what they can and can't think...to a point. As to the existence of Christ; having a real person around the time with that name leading a splinter group of Jewish religious (and probably political) radicals who later gained a huge following is a long way from having the "son" of God walking around and doing miracles. Given that most of what was written about him was centuries after the fact, I think it's safe to say that the element of the "divine" in those accounts was probably a case of generous PR and your garden variety cult of personality.
