You Know, I Have To Say The French…

…are growing on me

Registered as a religion in the United States, with celebrity members such as actors Tom Cruise and John Travolta, Scientology enjoys no such legal protection in France and has faced repeated accusations of being a money-making cult.
The group’s Paris headquarters and bookshop are defendants in the case. If found guilty, they could be fined €5 million ($7 million) and ordered to halt their activities in France.
Seven leading French Scientology members are also in the dock. Some are charged with illegally practising as pharmacists and face up to 10 years in prison and hefty fines.

I’ll have to go out and buy more “Freedom” wine…

    Scientology: A pseudo-religion invented as a joke/scam by a 4th-rate 1950’s SF writer in order to make some easy money. Widely considered to be the “Worlds Stupidest Religion”, whose followers will believe practically any fantasy they are told.
