How Scientology Works 197- The Evil Ideology

left. It may offer salvation in the afterlife or 'equality'.
Trying claim that only leftists or rightists are capable of evil is
actually part of the problem. This does not mean that we must
surrender to a wishy washy 'everyone is equally bad' cop out. This is
obviously untrue and closes the door on intelligent judgement.
There is one characteristic that is true of all evil ideologies- they
all HATE THE SINNER NOT THE SIN.
Some examples.
Stalinist Marxists claim to be opposed to economic exploitation but
can see evil only in capitalists. Stalinist have been willing to
starve and enslave large numbers of their own people provided that
this serves the revolution. This means that they throw the baby out
with the bathwater and become worse than those they claim to oppose.
Some extreme animal rights groups seem to dislike humanity and talk of
ecological catastrophe with a sort of glee. Humanity is only getting
what it deserves!
A second characteristic is that evil ideologies believe in a ZERO SUM
GAME.
This means that the evil ideology believes that everything that is
good for others is harmful to itself.
The Nazi party took this to the ultimate extreme by exterminating the
Jews. Any misfortune for the Jews was seen as an automatic victory for
the German Volk.
We also see this in the spiteful and petty attitudes of many feminists
towards those who appear happier and more successful than they are.
They are more interested in bringing others down than improving their
own lives.
According to these criteria Scientology is certainly an evil
ideology.
Criteria 1- Hating the sinner not the sin.
Scientology claims to be opposed to the ways in which mentally ill
people are treated. Unfortunately it makes no effort to invent better
treatments and even excludes people with mental illness from its own
treatments. All Scientologies efforts are directed at demonising
individual psychiatrists.
Criteria 2- Zero Sum game.
Scientology has created a paranoid world in which psychiatrists
continually plot against it. This means that every defeat for the
psyciatrists is a victory for Scientology.

You have taken your insights to a new level with this post... going to
the roots.
what I call the core algorithms of an issue...
once those are seen as you demonstrate here
it is not at all difficult to spot the larger pattern amonst all the
smoke.
a valuable contribution, thanks... it needs to be in a few dozen
peoples sig files.
this is not a minor insight... ive never seen it in writing before.
maybe someone else has
but I haven't.
