'We the People' Petition To Revoke Scientology's Tax Exempt Status
An anonymous reader writes: There has been a lot of interest in the activities of the Church of Scientology recently, especially since the release of Alex Gibney's documentary Going Clear. A petition against tax-exempt status for Scientology has been started on the U.S. White House petition website. If it receives more than 100,000 signatures, it will qualify for an official White House response. Even Slashdot has had its own run-ins with Scientology in the past — one of many internet sites to face legal threats from the Church. Has the time come for Scientology go "clear?"
Godwin in the first post. I'm proud, /.
Ah.. The Nazis' way...
Just make the religious institutions choose - tax exemption or copyright on their texts. You can't have both, you have to pick one.
I think that would solve most problems.

I always tithe, but God doesn't want it.

It was a comparison of judgment. I'll allow it.

Pro tip: you only need to buy the 3 old ones, not all 6.
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
Wait - you bought the CDs at full price? I thought the standard practice was to buy the introductory 10/15/20 CDs for the price of one and then cancel so they'd send you another promo deal.

Well in many ways, Scientology is like Nazism.
There, NOW we have gone full godwin.
