Scientology considers the belief in a God or gods as something personal and therefore offers no specific dogma. The nature of the Supreme Being is revealed personally through each individual as s/he becomes more conscious and spiritually aware.

I don't agree with all of Scientology, but this primary concept is a step in the right direction.

The just don't tell you about the aliens until you've spent a lot of money, and they've got enough personal information on you to blackmail you.

The church I belong to only has one request, although it's not necessary. You have to pray for Divine Love. All else falls into place as you become pure.

Is it any easier to believe in talking snakes or walking on water?

They are definately late to the party. If they came in a few hundred years ago, Scientology could have been a widely-followed religion by now. It is getting tougher to think up new relgions now - you know, with science and all refuting your stories - lord knows I have tried.
