The IRS commissioner under Bill Clinton ruled in 1993 ruled that Scientology was a religion eligible for tax exempt status.

I seem to recall tht this ruling followed John Travolta exerting tremendous pressure on slick willie.

Scientology isn't a religion. It teaches the individual is equipped with the tools to overcome difficulties we face. With proper direction, these tools are accessible and we can move on to lead the rest of our lives.
Given the choice between meeting a Scientologist or a Meth-head in a dark alley, I'll take the Scientologist every time. Contrary to the belief of many here, a human being can live a successful life without God in it. As a matter a fact, my disgust and opposition to abortion exists separately from my belief in God.
On the topic of Germany and Scientology: I refuse to sit here, silently while the great German nation and it's people are being accused of intolerance, arrest and incarceration of an individual simply because of his or her religious background.
