Scientology is under attack.
 
I may be forgiven for mentioning this organization on the forum. However i stumbled across a piece of news the other day which I felt was too important to ignore.

http://apcmag.com/7905/anonymous_thr...y_via_internet

It appears that a hacker group, which have been around since the early days of the Internet have decided to attack Scientology in a full frontal Denial of Service attack. Why they have waited until now to do this is beyond me. But they claim that they will not stop until the Church is dismantled.

Updates have been scarce, but if this is true then the church is in for a hell of a fight.

They're clearly serious, but then again, it could be kids, a lot of people can do DOS attacks, can't they?

Chris Britton January 26, 2008 8:08 AM
DoS attacks online are a very simple thing if you have a lot of time and patience. That is if you are working alone, but I don't recommend doing them.

I do, as long as it's at people I don't like.

Also, Scientology is great. The only reason anyone picks on them is because they're the knew religion on the block, but who knows, maybe 2000 years from now America will be "One Nation Under L Ron Hubbard".

I also find it doubly hilarious when followers of the Abrahamic religions bash Scientology despite the fact that Scientology's origin story is several orders of magnitude more feasible than anything those delusional spastics could cook up.

Scientology ftw.

I'm not taking sides in this. It's just news i reported, despite whatever debate emerges i will try not to take sides.

I'm pretty sure there's no debate emerging but I don't know what kind of crack you're smoking with this whole 'not taking sides' thing. You afraid you'll piss off the huge number of Scientologists on this board?

Isn't Tom Cruise and his wife both scientologists. It was n the news or summit!

Chris Britton January 27, 2008 1:56 PM
Yes they are, it's one of the most controversial relationships around according to the media. not that i pay much attention to either.

Jamie Minty January 27, 2008 2:36 PM
What is it that Scientologists believe?

Think about it, look at the name.

Jamie Minty January 27, 2008 3:11 PM
They believe in Science? I believe in Science I have it every day of the week except Wednesday and the weekend.

I'll wiki it then!

EDIT: wiki-ed. Its a type of religion, belief that evrything, (morals, spiritual means etc) can be proved by science.

The religion bit wasn't to obvious!

summit, n
  1. (countable) a peak; the top of a mountain
    In summer, it is possible to hike to the summit of Mt. Shasta.
  2. (countable) a gathering or assembly of leaders
    They met for an international summit on environmental issues.

Sorry i said summit, i went into txt speak (-ish) mode!

And no offence to those who follow scientology but I think it sounds pointless and stupid.

And that's why I love Scientology. It shows the world how stupid religion really is until everyone starts believing the shit they preach.

Chris Britton January 30, 2008 6:05 AM
It's just continuing a trend then really. I do say again I respect what people believe. Although RV proves a point which has been true for centuries.

Superkid11 January 30, 2008 9:38 AM
I'm agnostic so I don't really care about the outcome, but it'll be interesting to watch. :P

+1. Things like this have the potential for entertainment value.

It's a bit silly to do that, though. You're only deluding them into thinking you agree with them and/or support them.

Really? I always thought not trying to judge peoples beliefs and not giving them hassle because of it helped make things easier.

Easier for who? It might make it easier for you to get along with them, but in the long term it only makes the problem worse as it goes along.

I have to agree with you, despite being at University, which is a very diverse culture I can't deny it has been hard to keep respecting what others believe. Thats not to say i don't try but I guess thats the challenge itself, to be without judgment for the rest of your life.

Superkid11 January 30, 2008 9:38 PM
I only respect somebody's different views when they aren't dogmatic and loud about it to the point where they go nuts when somebody thinks differently.

I would suggest you stop trying and blatantly tell them how stupid you think they are.

I don't accept different views unless they have convincing evidence and sources I can investigate on my own.

Therefore accepting religious views is out of the question because only retards accept things under blind faith.

I wouldn't blink if overnight someone built deathcamps for everyone who believed things other than those established by science. I'd probably donate my time to fuel the fires.
