Scientology Critic Arrested After 6 Years

Posted by Hemos on from the running-to-standstill dept.

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."

    "Usually it is said that God will damn you, or something like that."

    If you are speaking about Christianity then mankind is already damned but not by God. Our seminal human father (Adam) fucked us all when he knowingly chose disobedience to God.

    A better analogy is that you have been poisoned and someone is giving away free antidote.
