wait, i don’t get it. Louanne, is gay bashing supporting the rights of homosexuals? how, exactly, do anti-gay slurs support the rights of gays? didn’t he say he was making a big statement because of gay bashing – wasn’t that the big question? or are you saying that he made that up? sorry, i don’t follow your point.

I am always stunned in view of the obvious brainwashing that must have happened to some internet posters (or rather the traveling circus of “commenters” when it comes to stirring up anti-Scientology resentment). Scientology has never been and is not against homosexuals and supports their rights just as anyone else’s. Given that, the big question is: why did Haggis bother to make such show-down out of his choice to sever his ties to the Church of Scientology (after several years of inactivity, as he admits)? Guesses, anyone?

Suzanne: “Wow. I guess under his logic all Christians should leave Christianity and all Mormons should leave the Mormon Church as they were for Prop. 8.”

So let me get this, so to speak, straight: If your religion promises you salvation but oppresses other people, you should cheerfully buy the bargain? NIce! Anyway, as you should bloody well know, not all Christian sects supported 8.

From a nonbeliever’s perspective, though, if I were to choose a faith, it wouldn’t be based on something silly like an evil space emperor dumping people into nonexistent volcanoes, or magic stones that let someone translate a conveniently disappearing golden book. Oh, booga booga booga! Neither would it require followers to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars to be saved. Sounds like you’re one of the faithful followers of a drugged-out, second-rate science fiction writer and his utterly stupid myths. And good luck with that.

Wow. I guess under his logic all Christians should leave Christianity and all Mormons should leave the Mormon Church as they were for Prop. 8. Sounds like he lost it and also sounds like he has not been practicing Scientology for a while. I saw him once and he was smoking & cursing the whole time.
