Scientology Critic Arrested After 6 Years

destinyland writes "Friday police arrested 64-year-old Keith Henson. In 2000 after picketing a Scientology complex, he was arrested as a threat because of a joke Usenet post about "Tom Cruise Missiles." He fled to Canada after being found guilty of "interfering" with a religion, and spent the next 6 years living as a fugitive. Besides being a digital encryption and free speech advocate, he's one of the original Burr-Brown/Texas Instruments researchers and a co-founder of the Space Colony movement."

Simpsons did it

Simpsons did it. Wait, no they didn't.

Tom Cruise and Scientology are nothing to shout about.

Re:Scientology isn't a Religion

Actually, no. Just "X", which is John 14:6.

I disagree. Christianity the religion, which is more than just the Old and New Testaments, states that in order to even be a Christian you must believe in the Holy Trinity, one of the tidbits decided upon by a conflicting council made up of leaders of various Christian sects at Nicea, under the influence and guidance of the not-yet-holy Roman empire.

As such, accepting Jesus as your personal savior is not enough for the Christian party line. You have to believe that he is three in one, that he is both fully human and fully divine, or else you're a heretic, and you're going to hell.

Your statement would have been right if the one you were responding to asserted that the Bible said you had to do a bunch of things. Unfortunately even when they read the bible, most people don't pay attention to it, and they rely on their preacher to tell them what it means. I don't think your god would have given you a brain if he didn't intend you to use it, but I guess it takes all kinds.

IBM, Sony, Apple, Oracle, Novell, ...

Hmm. Kind of like how you can criticize IBM, Sony, Apple, Oracle, or Novell, their behavior, ethics or their products, but anything other than praise for MS brings out all kinds of ad hominem attacks.
