Re: Creed of the Church of Scientology
Abdul
went through some e-mail dialog with a representative of the Church of
Scientology, beginning with my request to display their creed on my
website. Since Adytology is meant to have a slightly cleaner
presentation than this Group, I went with the better safe than sorry
approach, but I am going to express here some disagreement with the
attitude I met with in that dialog. In no way, shape, nor form do I
want to get into a conflict with the officials at Scientology, for my
whole intention is to promote their religion.
For now I have relative safety in that I scarcely believe my
writings here are being investigated. Possibly later in my life I will
draw more attention, and possibly some will look back to this post and
contend against it. Where I submitted to the relatively negative
requests of the Scientology representative on my Adytology website,
here I will allow the entirety of the Creed to remain, inviting further
discussion if necessary.
Scientologists currently representing the Church appear to be
somewhat investigative, but I've presented enough material and offered
enough prayers to God that my specific mission seems to remain
effectively camouflaged. My intention is positive, and I do truly
believe it is reasonable to post the entire Creed of Scientology here.
Should contention arise, I will try to deal with it effectively, but
this forum is a bit different than my adytology site, and so I take the
time to go through this expressive examination of the incident and my
decision to keep the Creed here, even though I was requested to reduce
it on my Adytology site.
Thank you,
Abdul
