this is the brilliance of a new religion and L Ron Hubbard had absolutely no fucking idea how far drugs would go in the US when he dreampt this shit up. he took a few basic ideas that are really hard to argue against and turned them from common sense ideas into a quasi-science by surrounding it with a bunch of additional, meaningless jargon to make the ideas more identifiable with scientology.
of course its easy to get people to agree not to perscribe powerful drugs with harmful side effects while promoting the benefits of a healthy lifestyle (emotionally and physically). thats not "scientology" - thats a simple bit of common sense lost on a society of people looking for a magic pill to fix everything.
people talk about scientology as if these ideas are new or widely rejected by society. i think that most people understand the power of the mind over the body. i think most people understand (or should at least) that doctors are wildly out of control perscribing medicines in the USA. i would like to think that its just fucking common sense that instead of taking Lipitor for high cholesterol and being worse off with the side effects than the risk of cardiac arrest.... is not only stupid but irresponsible of a doctor to prescribe it, when all you really need to do is correct your diet and exercise and your chlosterol levels will normalize quite quickly. - thats not scientology, thats basic health and nutrition.
i am really only bitter that i did not think of this first.
