				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?

			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.

 No they havent. Anonymous has been updating their various sites very regularly.

 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 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?

			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!

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

			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.

 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.
