All of them, those in power, and those who want the power, would pamper us, if we agreed to overlook their crookedness by wilfully restricting our activities.

The "church" <spit> against the Internet In the fall of 1997, representatives (or people who
knew how to send mail as such...) of the Religious
Technology Center began attacking a
Web-site
which contained descriptions of various beleifs of
Scientology. I set up a very small mirror, and
shortly thereafter drew the fire of the RTC.
The audio clip is used as documentation in the comparison of Christianity and $cientology written by Peik J Strômsholm (modified by me to include a link to the sound clip). An up-to-date site with more sound files and some commentary is found on http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Lobby/9169/sound.html and on http://www.xenu.net/archive/multimedia.html . The conflict between the "church" and the Internet has made Usenet history since it was escalated on Jan 1st 1995 by a raid on a critic (the first of many). While it's quite trendy to make fun of the beliefs of scientologists, the conflict has been fueled by the behaviour of the huge origanisation known as the "church". The behaviour of the "church" is governed by their religious belief that civil courts are to be used as instruments for harassement of critics . While, on one hand, the "church" uses the civil law courts in new and imaginative ways , they never cease to complain about "religious persecution" when a government acts against them. |
