If the head of your religion is on the run from law enforcement, maybe you’re in a cult.
this is about scientology

I was really hoping to see an OJ Simpson style car chase with a line of cop cars behind the Popemobile.

SaltyBarDog@godpod Where's David and Shelly?
Badtux the Snarky Penguin@godpod Honestly don't know what the difference is between scientology and any other religion. They all are a scam with cult-like characteristics based upon ridiculous science fiction novels masquerading as religions texts.

@godpod hard to tell, day to day
E.G. Phillips@godpod Okay... what did you do this time?

Being concerned about issues of imminent importance, Missouri Republicans have just passed a rule that women may not bare arms in the state House chamber. Missouri Republicans have passed no similar rule governing how men must dress in the House. #misogyny #Republicans #Gilead https://www.businessinsider.com/missouri-republicans-pushed-stricter-dress-code-for-female-lawmakers-2023-1
Andrew Feeney@godpod I mean sure, but if law enforcement is hunting down religious leaders then maybe you’re in an oppressive authoritarian state. We need more data!

Look, it’s about Scientology. It’s a ”religion” in terms of L. Ron Hubbard wanted to rally against psychology cos he was batshit bonkers but also wanted money and to do it tax-free, so why not call it a ✌️religion✌️. It’s not like it’s really real religion.

Snerk RabbledauberAre you familiar with "Letter from a Birmingham jail?"
Julia T@SnerkRabbledauber @godpod There’s a difference from being on the run from law enforcement and being abused BY law enforcement. MLK was never running from anybody.

@godpod wasn't your son arrested?
Zalasur 🐸🇺🇦@godpod l love all the people responding to this post with "Wait wasn't your son on the run from law enforcement?" like it's some sort of flex. It's like, they *do* understand the whole point of this account, right? That the person behind it isn't actually God, right? 😂

rus@godpod if the head of your religion \ your religious group has been forcibly evicted from multiple states, maybe you belong to a cult.
Or Jewish.
(But really, all organized religion is at a minimum cult-ish)
Brian Sullivan@godpod All religions are cults. The only differentiating factor is length of existence.
Jason Goroncy@godpod Conversely, if the head of your religion is not on the run from law enforcement, maybe you’re in a cult.
One World One People@godpod A soldier of God
Heavy is the burden of faith and you will fail. What is asked of you are tasks beyond your skills and sacrifices that you cannot endure. Your mind will be twisted and your body broken, your friendships taken and fellows lost. All is a test of the life that is given to love.
Darren@godpod did something happen? Haven't seen any news about it.
Brian Ragle (he/him/his) 🇺🇸🖖🏼@godpod But hasn't this been the case since the early 80s? #WhereIsShellyMiscavige
SklingklorpYou should do a Jeff Foxworthy.
Maya_Gardner@godpod i mean in fairness that's early Christianity too, so it doesn't work as an absolute statement. Or the Dalai Llama today and probably a lot of legit people just being persecuted, not just the cultists
Ryan Noakes 🇨🇦@godpod "maybe"? Pretty much 100% you're in a cult.
@godpod “religion”😂😂🤪
Joseph Smith on the run from the US govt
Muhammad on the run from the Makkas
Jesus on the run from the Romans
Moses on the run from the Egyptians
Seems like your chosen prophets were pretty much all on the lam.
ShreadTheRad@godpod wait was Russell M Nelson finally arrested?
GeddyLeeRoth@godpod If you sing about fire women selling sanctuary, you're in THE Cult.
Stefan Midjich ꙮ҄@godpod lol you need to study your history more. I don't give a hoot about scientology but the jews were persecuted af by the romans, and the christian sects that followed even more so.
@godpod or a republican.
pjsauter@godpod Seems that your boy had a little difficulty with the authorities back in the day himself.
Which kinda proves your point, I guess.
@godpod that's a bit rich coming from a dude whose son was pestered by law enforcement, arrested, tried and executed.
Gharbeia, Ⓐ@godpod Were they not all in their beginnings!
