The premise of a 2000 year old cult that believes that what a bunch of superstitious, bronzed aged, ignorant wandering group of desert goat herders is any more reality than that of some deranged science fiction writer is confusing.
So Churches don't take in money? Fortunes even? Televangelists? The Vatican?
They have been taking in tithes for 2000 years. Scientology just got in late to the game.

It's not a "sad opinion".
Its an opinion without the sad part.
That's like me saying to you, Im so sad you don't believe in unicorns.
Ridiculous. You don't feel sad because you don't.
I thank God every day I was raised Atheist.
Tell me, how many atheist hospitals do you know of? I know of many catholic hospitals. How many atheist charities do you know of. I know of many Christian charities. I also know of many Christian sponsored groups that help people with drug addictions and mental illness, you know, like bi polar disorder. Just saying.

All hospitals here are atheist because theyre all run by Govt. To get funding there cant be any cross over with religion.
I suppose there are such things as Catholic nursing homes though.
Theres probably Scientology nursing homes also. But not in Australia as there is a drive here to have them officially labelled as a cult and made illegal altogether.

They're called secular hospitals. They are all over.

And yes, I remember my SDA ex-wife learning from her church how to perform exorcism to cure those with mental illness. Ain't god great?
The guy we now find was not only black, but likely married and had kids as well?
Someone said he rose from the grave but no one's yet explained WHERE HE WENT!!! is he still roaming the desert somewhere in his 0 century garb, saving No One?
One question - do you know who King James was?
Because HE'S the guy responsible for the Bible....yet no one gets taught who he is or why he did it or how.
A bunch of old white guys sat about and wrote the bible based on their white guy viewpoint.
Please learn.
It wouldn't sound half as miraculous if they'd signed their name to the book of twenthieth hand legend they wrote eh?
Probably wouldn't have sold at all if they'd made Mary a regular old gal who got pregnant like the rest of us, either...
Please, Christians do not be offended.
Your beliefs do not depend on my deference.
It is not just about the beliefs, it is about how they are run, there is NO similarity between them.
Leah Remini's book was flashed several times in the interview. Compared to the HBO show, the 20/20 piece was just an infomercial for Remini's book. I watched the whole interview, and it confirms why most TV is horrible, agenda-driven crap.
I have no problem with Remini as an actress trying to sustain her lifestyle. I assume she enjoys significant residuals from "King of Queens" which still runs on several cable stations every day.
But brave? No. Shilling her book? Yes.
Folks, please don't consider this journalism....it is entertainment disguised as a "reporter" with an "exclusive" on a bombshell (really not) about Scientology (been around a long time). It is acting. Nothing but a role based loosely on facts.
Oh, please. All we needed to see were the Scientology "red shirts" dropping off their compilation of Remini's "infractions" at ABC headquarters to know what this group is all about. That, and their celebrity halls (don't dare enter unless you're a celebrity ). What a crock.
And did I mention that I wanted to hurl when I saw Tom Cruise saluting Scientology honcho David Miscavige?Hey, Tom, stop playing games, enlist in the military, and find out what being a real soldier is all about, you little twerp.
