Scientology is a godless religion. It's evil. I would make a comment about it being a pyramid scheme religion, but that does apply to too many religions for it have any punch.
Please elaborate. Which religions, in your opinion, are "pyramid schemes"?
I think the point of the XKCD comic is that regardless of the stupidity of the security theater rules, acting like an insufferable know-it-all will get you in trouble...
If an amusement park does not want to allow you on a ride because you are taller than 5ft, it is their right to deny you, even if you just know the ride can support your height and weight without problems.
The amusement park ride, and the airplane, are privately owned and they can deny you access for whatever reason, even if you don't like it.

Dude, not funny...
So who's religious convictions was I belittling? Perhaps everyone but yours?
Don't know, you didn't answer my question...
Point taken
Ok, point taken.
The problem is that public forces are being used to enforce the policies established between the airlines and the TSA/DHS.
However, I still stand by my opinion that throwing a tantrum and getting yourself arrested is not the smart way to deal with it.
A pyramid scheme is "a promise of wealth primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, often without any product or service being delivered."
So I ask you again, Which major mainstream religion pays money to proselytize?
"Pay your way to heaven" is a major symptom of cults, but none of the major religions do that today.
Belittling other's religious convictions is childish and immature. Go read a book.

Death Note?
Oh no! The grammar nazis have finally organized! It's the Grammer Terror Regime!
'oops!'
I can imagine the link at the bottom of the memorialised account:
"If you are Abreu and can prove you are not dead, click here"
Right... I always wondered why Angua drank in an undead bar
(6) It's a trap!
Any of the "hobby" plug-ins helps when dealing with some of Wife 1.0's "eccentricities":
Fishing, Golfing, or in my case, Tabletop Roleplaying are all good ways to get some "away time"
Yes. Worse.
Sure Sheldon, that sounds like a loooot of fun
Go to your local Walmart and count how many products contain "high fructose corn syrup"
Now who's the corn-worshiping culture?
Wife 1.0 continues to work quite well, thank you.
As a happy user of Wife 1.0, I must say this system is not for everybody...
The subscription plan is a bit pricey, imho
Believe me, carnal, I use Linux, read slashdot, and use gmail...
However, I still need an MSN account active in Empathy because almost everybody here use MSN Messenger (even if their email is Gmail)
Some people remember their first Geocities or Angelfire pages with nostalgia...
I am actually a bit ashamed to admit my first webpage was hosted in "theglobe.com"
I still have a girl-friend in MSN and now Facebook which I met in WBS!).
Well, to be fair, everybody in Mexico still uses MSN (darned Telmex monopoly!) ...and it seems that everybody who's 25-35 years old is using Facebook
Wasn't there a site that sold cheap CDs with a lot of Linux distros?
I bought a couple of them until I got broadband...
As I said before, you can look at the wars between the drug cartels in Mexico and Colombia
They have had at least thirty years being more or less left to themselves...
This. See the drug wars in Mexico for an example of how a "completely free market" reacts violently to competitors
This is also true for my Palm Centro, I think it does not send the proper amount of juice until the driver is installed...
