This is going to seem weird, but one of the things that made me start questioning, and I mean seriously question the Christian church was Scientology bashing.
The church mocked it for requiring large sums of money.
Collection plate, anyone?
The Church mocked it for having texts based on the writings of a science fiction fan and author.
Hello, Masoretic Texts/Apocrypha/squabbles over cannon, redaction, false attribution, plagiarization from previous religions, texts written at least 40 years after the fact.
Scientology requires you to believe a lot of ridiculous shit.
So? So does the bible! The exsistence of King David and King Solomon, miracles, resurrection, talking donkeys, God-commanded genocide, the Exodus from Egypt and the entire book of Genesis.
So, if you hate Scientology for being ridiculous you might as well hate Christianity.
