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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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