You must pay to attend scientology teachings.
Condemning to hellfire is hardly a punishment for a non-believer. Now, having pamphlets spread across your neighbourhood stating that you are a child molester is another story.
If you don't buy the source, listen to the guy's child.

in the case of islam, ppl
voluntarily give money to mosques at the end of ramadan because it is
mandatory on them by religious texts
i say voluntarily becuz thers no checklist, no attendence list, no record of who gave wat, just a donation box somewhere where ppl go and drop in money that is used for community welfare.
so the religion says pay a percentage of ur net income to the poor and the mosque collects it and distributes it
nobody ever knows if u gave ur money or not
similar case can be made for christianty and judiasm
IS THAT THE CASE WIT SCIENTOLOGY????
