Scientology Compared With Christianity (Part 2)
2008-02-13
So here’s a quick comparison between Christianity and Scientology:
- “You have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.” - Jesus, Matthew 5.38-39 - “An enemy… may be injured by any means or tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.” - L. Ron Hubbard, Penalties for Lower Conditions, HCO PL 18 Oct 67
- “Let what you say be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything more than this comes from evil.” - Jesus Christ, Matthew 5.37
- “Handling truth is a touchy business … Tell an acceptable truth.” - L. Ron Hubbard, The Missing Ingredient, 13 August 1970.
Maybe it’s pointless for me to attempt a point by point comparison of the Bible with Hubbard’s blasphemous views on the subject. The shocking differences are all too obvious. It’s difficult to resist the temptation, when Scientology publications state that “you can be a Christian and a Scientologist at the same time”.
Thanks for this — Found your site by accident. I assume you know about the worldwide anti-Scientology protests of the past month? A great one on 10 February in dozens of cities, perhaps 10,000 people altogether. Another international day of protest on 15 March (”the Ides of March”). Many Christians involved.

Interestingly, I also did a comparison of Christ’s words with El-Ron’s, for a poster.
Anyway, take care, and thanks again!
