Scientology Spokesman Storms Out Of Nightline Interview (VIDEO)

“What amazes me is that something as important as one's spirituality ( for lack of a better word) is shopped for and bought. like a pair of shoes that fit comfortably. I am not just talking about Scientology, but all religions. Either you are born into a particular religion and are too lazy to look beyond the teachings of the family and that particular church or within yourself. Or you shop around until you find a church that "fits" what you want it too. The worst is when you change your core beliefs to marry someone of another religion or sect. Spirituality is personal and in my minds eye should never be tainted by religion or the beliefs of anyone else . We all know what we know within ourselves and need to tap into that.. Herding is an animal trait and we humans should be way above that base behavior. Religion cheapens spirituality.”

“There are numerous churches around me, of various faiths, that I could attend at any time when they are open, get one on one spiritual guidance, and never have to pay a dime. That's why I don't quite agree that all religions would require "shopping." With Scientology, payment of money is not an option. It's a requirement. I'm not a religious person and don't believe in god[s], but I don't think it's fair to compare religions to Scientology on the basis of money.”

“Religion does cheapen Spirituality, but Church is where most of us develop our sense of spirituality... I have experienced this first hand... My husband and i ahve decided not to attend church, but now our kids have no understanding of what or who God is and what is Heaven etc...”

“How true. The main goal of any organized religion is to preserve itself and its power over the lives of its members. It will do anything, tell any lie and use any form of violence. Why not since it's members can justify any deed then forgive themselves simply by claiming they're serving an invisible being. Religion has nothing to do with morality or spirituality.”

“And they want us to encourage and send our sons and daughters to a foreign country to work on behalf of the USA to bring a better life for those people? Think again....I come from a military family who have served in two wars.....but not any longer. These criminals....I mean the senators who voted against the Franken bill should loose their job at the very least.”

“The chamber in our town is as corrupt as you can get. We were members in good standing for many years until an opportunity came up where the chamber wanted to purchase products that our company provided. We were told that we were not allowed to even bid on this job because the chamber head always went outside of our county to purchase the products even though our bid was a third less for the same products.It turned out to be cronyism and nepotism.So much for the chamber.... We quit.”

“There were plenty of times I wanted to scream at Bush "YOU LIE" but I kept my cool and for good reason.......we were called unpatriotic for even hinting of not being in full support of the illegal war and torture and domestic spying and heaven forbid we actually called these guys out for the many scandals and corruptions that were discovered.....well we were just plain traitors who should move to another country. The tables have turned and the good news is that they are showing their true colors. They are racist and they can not stand that this man is in power and that he shows just how inept Bush was as the president. Pay backs are hell.”

“But if the consensual S&M incites sadistic tendencies in someone and he acts on it, then it becomes part of the problem. Photographs that depict these forms of sexual behavior are responsible for encouraging and giving permission for people to act out their urges on non consensual partners. The perfect example is CB and R. She poses for the pics by choice and he thinks it is OK to beat her up.”

Obama School Speech Conspiracies Endorsed By Republicans

“I am an activist who attends various rallies and gatherings to promote different causes and I have to say that the disrespect shown by many young ( republicans) toward those of us with different opinions is a tragedy in and of it self. Where are the parents who teach their children to respect others? This is just another way for the right to try to humble and humiliate the man who was elected to the highest office in the land. I am outraged and insulted by the behavior of these crazy zealots. What message are they sending to their children? Once the lesson is learned and the disrespect is tolerated the ripple effect is hard to stop. Free speech is wonderful, but there are laws about inciting hysteria and spreading lies that are harmful to the community . These people are insane!”

“Oh for the love of Mike!!!!!! This is a girl who has been in the news for being slammed around by her boyfriend and she poses in a piece that looks at the very least like an add for a S&M men's mag. Grow up R. This stuff is not to be played around with. There are scores of women who have been abused by men who get their jolly's looking at pictures just like the ones you posed for. Maybe we all came to the rescue of a woman who was not a victim after all.”
april1398 replied on Sep 04, 2009 at 19:35:45
“Now she's not a victim because she poses in a picture with a gag? That is ridiculous! First of all, these are just pictures. She consented to take these pictures. She did not consent to getting the sh^t beat out of her. Just because she took these photos does not mean she's into S&M either. And even if she WAS into S&M, she would be participating in a consensual activity. Consent is key. You guys who keep making ignorant comments should think before you type.”

“Rhianna is known to have a history of violence herself. She admits to smashing a bottle on the head of her little brother and causing serious injuries, the kid needed hospital treatment. She is also known to often be the first to hit in an arguement.Maybe that is her idea of being a strong woman! ! !”

“Violence is violence it doesn't matter if it is consensual or not. The fact that it's consensual only means that it isn't a crime. If I punch you in the face after you ask me to, it is still a violent act. It's not that difficult of a concept.”

“I think of the circus of Teri Schivo and the thousands of people sentenced to a life of pain and despair because no one asked them teir opinion about their own care. I went to dinner with a couple who defended the republicans view on the reform bill and this guys story is that in the past three years, he has undergone three different cancer surgeries and treatments including bone marrow transplant. He actually said that he is not concerned with the other guys who can not afford insurance and that he would be dead without his insurance. He does not want any changes to his insurance plan. This guy still smokes and drinks and yet he says that everybody needs to be responsible for his or her own health and their own insurance. Go figure. It is my experience that republicans all have a real sense of entitlement in this country. The hell with the little guy.”

“For the first time in the history of our country, this health care reform bill actually takes into consideration the wishes of our elders as they reach an age where their health care is an issue. Just think of how many older people have never have a chance to voice their opinions about how they want to be treated in the case of stroke or heart failure or worse, that can lead to them being on life support for the rest of their lives. Do they want to stay home with home health care providers or do they want extreme measures to be taken in a hopeless health situation after they reach an age when their quality of life is horrible? I for one am grateful that if my family is all gone and I am alone to make these decisions...someone will listen to me while I am still able to make those all important and personal decisions about my own future. Sarah Palin is an idiot!”

“It is pretty clear to me that both sides overreacted to a situation where there were a number of openings to end it. The bottom line is that when it was established that Prof. Gates lived in the home and that there were no others in the home who would present a danger......the police should have walked away. Leave the homeowner sputtering and ranting on his lawn and dismiss the crew that had gathered. Pretty simple. I have to add that I am a mature woman who is afraid of the many stories of abuse of power in our police force. I for one, will not open my window for a policeman if I am stopped. I will not stop on a lonely road and I do not trust the judgment of many of these guys who at a young age have been told that they have complete power over anyone. We have watched them taze pregnant women and women who were unconscious just for the fun of it.I can only imagine what fears black folks deal with every day. It is a dangerous world out there and no one is above my scrutiny.”
