THOUGHT EXPERIMENT: IF L. RON HUBBARD HAD ADVOCATED SUPREMACISM AND GENOCIDE WOULD SCIENTOLOGY BE PROTECTED AS A RELIGION?

L. RON HUBBARD FOUNDED SCIENTOLOGY.

WHAT IF HIS RELIGION HAD CLAIMED TO BE THE ONLY PERMISSIBLE BASIS FOR CIVIL LAWS AND WHAT IF HE ADVOCATED GENOCIDE OF JEWS - WOULD HIS RELIGION BE TOLERATED TODAY, OR ATTACKED AS WE ATTACKED NAZISM?

THE LATTER, I HOPE.

(AS FAR AS I KNOW, SCIENTOLOGY IS NEITHER SUPREMACIST OR GENOCIDAL.)

NO SUPREMACIST AND GENOCIDAL CREED SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO HIDE UNDER THE GUISE OF RELIGION OR AS SUPPOSED REVELATION.

EVEN IF IT IS MORE THAN 1000 YEARS OLD AND REVERED BY SOME AND GLOBALLY WIDESPREAD.

ALL THAT DOES IT MAKE IT A BIGGER PROBLEM, NOT MORE ACCEPTABLE.

JUST SAYING...
