| I'm finding myself lured by Scientology but hesitant due to negative media coverage. What to do? |

Excellent solution. |

| What about it appeals to you? |

I'm a very logical thinking person. Which makes it hard for me to make the leap of faith required for traditional Religions. |

That is the definition of faith. Believing without a tangible. |

Better to make the leap for a newly created religion based on a meidocre science fiction writer's insanity.
Really, it's like L. Ron made it up while surrounded by a cloud of pot smoke just to see how many idiots would believe him. |

| NO! I'm readng a book on it right now. I'll post the name of the book tomorrow. Easy reading but by an award-winning journalist. He lays out everything about scientology and L. Ron Hubbell. |

Does he write about Hubbell's magical telescope that we humans hung in the heavens? |

| The Unity Church might be what you are looking for. More logic and study. Less ridiculous magical aliens. |

| If you're looking for One True Answer, you already believe in religion. You should find one that isn't completely exploitative and maybe at least gives something back to the community. |

But you can make the leap of faith to believe in thetans? Scientology is not a logical religion. A friend who was seeking a more rational experience than his Catholic upbringing found Buddhism met his needs. Perhaps do a survey of various religions to make sure you're not choosing one due to lack of information about others. |

| OP, just start volunteering more to give you a sense of purpose and community. |
