1. Sorry. There IS such a thing as degrees.
Tell me, if YOUR kid's mother were undecided between a Catholic and Scientology school, (and the final word was hers, not yours) would you really think they're equally bad?

2. At this stage in my life, I do
Edited on Thu Apr-09-09 02:51 PM by Warpy
but that's just me. I survived Catholic school and in fact, that's probably why I turned atheist at the ripe old age of 10. There's something to being a lousy role model and showing kids how not to live their lives.

However, cults are a little different in that they strive to sever all connections to people outside the cult.

If this guy wants to keep his kid in his life, he needs to sue to get him away from the cult.

3. Yes.
Show me how the teachings of Scientology are more dangerous to a child than those of Catholicism. From where I'm sitting, they're equally nutty.

Catholicism is arguably more dangerous because it's taken as a mainstream religion and its doctrines are not questioned or challenged whereas Scientology isn't offered any respect.

4. I agree with you on the comparison. I have noticed a few rabid Anti- Scientology posters
Here at D/U and it makes me wonder if it is a Anti- Propaganda effort.
