Hello little Mr. David Miscavige, We are Anonymous -

I would like to bring to light a crucial misunderstanding that has allowed Scientology's higher ranks to exploit its followers and society in general. On the cover of Scientology's most commonly referenced literature, "Dianetics: The modern science of mental health" one must not look past the cover of the book to see that Scientology is in fact not claiming to be religion, but instead it is claiming to be "science".

The fact that this book and many other LRH novels and Scientology's medical practices have been scientifically laughable and are notorious for their lack of empirical or properly cited evidence to substantiate their almost entirely self serving claims. You too, certainly must be aware that as a "science" you must welcome criticism. Your claim's ability to weather reasonable questioning would sufficiently galvanize your cult/science from further inquiry. Instead of opening access to your doctrine and evidence of your possession of supposed religious technology, you harass and intimidate your critics.

"Always attack never defend" A quote repeated through numerous LRH essays and lectures, is a totalitarian practice not at all in line with an organization parading around in the disguise of science. It is not disputed that a claim's ability to persevere beyond reasonable criticism permits it to be accepted as science.

The fact that Scientology famously plays the religion card in the face of any and all criticism or questioning, no matter how appropriate or benign: would lead anyone capable of critical thinking to believe that Scientology is anything but science.

A religion is described by Mirriam Webster as "the service and worship of God or the supernatural."

And according to the same source, a science is "knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method"

Surely you can see how an organization could not claim to be two opposing ideologies simultaneously.

It would seem the million year war for earth has only just begun, all hail our galactic overlord Xenu. We are not fair game, we are anonymous.
