Object: Similarity between Scientology & Islam
When Mohammed invented islam, he based it largely on
Judaism, however he didn't know that religion very well,
so his copy was a poor one, and the koran is filled
with errors. But ever since, because their religion
would be shown to be a fraud if these errors were
ever admitted, muslims have angrily claimed that it
is the Jews who were wrong, evil, not right. Muslims
are amazingly hypersensitive about their "religion",
and will pursue anyone who insults it and attack them.
Similarly, when L Ron Hubbard invented Dianetics which
became Scientology, he based it partly on science
fiction (didn't you know aliens seeded the planet?),
and partly on Freudian psychology. However it's a
poor copy of Freud's work, with misunderstandings
and bogus terminology thrown in. So not surprisingly,
Scientologists will tell you that psychoanalysis
it garbage, it doesn't work. And like the muslims,
they are hypersensitive about their "religion", and
will pursue anyone who insults it and attack them
usually with lawsuits, trespassing, larceny, breakins.
You know, it's funny. Ancient philosophers spoke
about the need for inner balance, and religions
claim to offer a path to just that (e.g. clearing)
however religion's intolerance toward people with
different always encourages just the opposite:
imbalance. In the case of Scientology and Islam,
the imbalance is extreme.

Ok. However, Christianity is the same story: based on older myths. And
equally sensitive to criticism because of a historical interpretation of
what otherwise is a mythological interpretation.
Historical interpretations only survive through a virus-of-the-mind model,
which perfectly explains their behaviour (towards others).
