Scientology will make you broke. I think it’s that personally.
Satanism (most forms) is hardly even bad. Scientology is crazy but they haven’t done much compared to most other religions. It’s hard to to say, but I guess Scientology because it seems more of a scam.
I’m aware of most forms. @puck61
@McRen Well power orgies are a little more appealing than rendering tallow from first born infants.
Okay lol @puck61

I think people dabble in satanism for fun but Scientology is a commitment. So Scientology.

@MissMollyCharlotte0702 But I hear they serve a nice variety of chips and dips at their gatherings. Lol.
@MissMollyCharlotte0702 Satanist dont try to kill people though. It's possible they were satanist and murderers at the same time but one didn't cause the other.
They worshipped Satan. Satan is evil...these people were evil. Satan most certainly plays a part in the evil in this world.@canusernamebemyusername

Satanism is the poor man's Scientology.

Scientology in my opinion.

They're not the same? 🤔🤭

Since Satanists are sometimes very violent I'll vote for them.

@SatanBurger It's happened in Massachusetts where I live.

@HoraceGreenley I'm not denying things don't happen, not the point.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
Scientology. Not even a question.

The way that organization abuses it's members and attacks people who criticize it is insane.

Any belief that purportedly has a focus upon a Powerful Omnipotent, Omnipresent, Superior Higher Entity which can be influenced its adherents (using specific prayers, money, signs, offerings, deeds, actions and rituals) to be personally favorable to one or any group of humans while excluding one or any other group of humans.

Counterfiet religions [b]are[/b] 'satanism'.

@puck61 They're all bastardized egotistical attempts to legitimize one or another human's interpretation of the concept of a magical, praise worthy, invisible, intangible, greater, holy, higher, omnipotent, caring, benevolent, superior power that we humans can Use & Manipulate for personal gain and use to feel protected, please by actions, admit our guilty deeds, to explain the mysterious & inexplicable, blame life's disappointing aspects, ask for vengeance, vanquish our sins & enemies and beg for redemption from our own faults, failures, and foibles. And generally not be alone & scared that were just short lived specks in an infinitely overwhelmingly huge universe!
@Valerian All religions except Christianity. [b]True Christianity. [/b] All religions on earth are 'man reaching out to God', whereas Christianity is the only 'religion' that is God reaching out to man. If you prayerfully read the scriptures with a knowledge of dispensation, you will see clearly.
Valerian · 100+, M
@puck61 Feel free to believe and read the "scriptures" if it makes you feel good and gives you the guidelines for you to Use & Manipulate your Holy Trinity Christian Diety!
Pray and petition God for personal gain and to feel protected, please Him by your pious actions, admit your guilty deeds, use God's mystery to explain all the unknown & inexplicable, blame your life's disappointing aspects, pray for personal prosperity, vanquish your sins & enemies and beg for redemption from your own faults, failures, and foibles.

And now you generally feel not all alone & scared that you are just or miserable and sad short lived speck of life in an infinitely overwhelmingly huge universe!

All because YOUR RELIGION is the absolute, undisputed, bestest, most perfect, infallible, proven, perfectly acceptable Religion that you were most likely raised into!

Plus the Church you go to bends the Bible Scriptures in a way that is distinctively unique and accepted by the congregation of friends and societal peers that you're comfy with! And as an added plus your mutual clubs, organizations, social status, income level and kid's schools are all the same! And the yearly retreat & picnic & fund raiser is surely God's Blessing!
both pretty bad, still not as bad as those damn Presbyterians..... the monsters. LOL

I don't know anything real about Satanism but Scientology is cult like.

i sacrifice them all to the God of the Sun. Ra does not discriminate.

The Best lies always have a little bit of Truth. Enough said.
Pfuzylogic · M
Satanism is rumored to conduct illegal activities.
Success · 26-30, F
It's a draw. They lack truth to the same extent.
