Scientology Christmas?
Posted by: Religious Studies ()
Date: December 24, 2016 01:55PM

What do Scientologists believe about Christmas? Do they think that L. Ron Hubbard flies around on a gigantic e-meter pulled by can-shaped reindeer? Does he leave copies of _A History of Man_ for the good kids and drown the dogs of the bad kids?

If anyone knows Leah Remini, they should ask her.

Christ plays no role in Christianity, so why would they celebrate his birth?

Authority

Scientology: Although the Bible is used to bolster up the sect's ideas, the source of Scientology's philosophy and technology is Hubbard himself.

Christianity: As the Word of God, the Bible is the yardstick against which all claims (including those of Hubbard) have to be measured.

God

Scientology: Although Hubbard and many of his followers are theists, belief in God is not essential to Scientology.

Christianity: God is Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three Persons within the unity of the Godhead.

Christ

Scientology: Christ has no essential or central place in the sect's teachings.

Christianity: "God sent his Son to be the Savior of the world."

Salvation

Scientology: Man is basically good, but "engrams" (psychological hang-ups) prevent him from reaching his full potential. When released from these engrams through the sect's techniques, man begins to live on a higher level in terms of his own human achievement.

Christianity: Man needs to be saved from sin and to be given new life. Both are available from God through faith in Christ.
