Diskeeper Accused of Scientology Indoctrination
touretzky writes "Two ex-employees have sued Diskeeper Corporation in Los Angeles Superior Court after being fired, alleging that the company makes Scientology training a mandatory condition of employment (complaint, PDF). Diskeeper founder and CEO Craig Jensen is a high-level, publicly avowed Scientologist who has given millions to his Church. Diskeeper's surprising response to the lawsuit (PDF) appears to be that religious instruction in a place of employment is protected by the First Amendment." The blogger at RealityBasedCommunity.net believes that the legal mechanism that Diskeeper is using to advance this argument ("motion to strike") is inappropriate and will be disallowed, but that the company will eventually be permitted to present its novel legal theory.
But its Los Angeles we're talking about here. If your boss dosen't like you then he won't fire you -- he'll take out a life insurance policy on you and have you killed. Los Angeles is not just a bunch of silly stereotypes. It's far more deadly and predatory than you can imagine!
The difference is that Catholic Church hasn't been violent about it since the Inquisition.
Megachurches are generally evangelical, not roman catholic. And regardless, the Church of Scientology maybe occasionally be violent, but it isn't that violent; the Inquisition is an entirely different (and historic) matter.
