Debunking a cult.

I can tolerate religion. All religion. The only thing I cannot tolerate is Scientology. It's probably the only cult in the world which limits, restricts and completely tortures you in every way, emotionally, physically, psychologically, financially, socially and personally. I don't understand why people still choose to follow such a dogma of bigotry and incapacitation of your life. Freedom is restricted and they chase after you if you wish to escape. They will follow you and only allow you to go to certain doctors who are also Scientologists, visit certain countries while on holidays, and only stay at certain hotels. You can say they spy and follow you where ever you go since they have the money to do so as they are coming from the followers. That being said, that only happens if you HAVE enough money to go on holidays. Chances are, if you are a follower, you won't have any money left besides basic necessities.

I don't understand the sheep that follow and join the cult. Gullible? Naive? Uneducated? Yes, yes and yes again. This cult should be stopped. It teaches nothing of value. It teaches nothing related to morals, ethics, intelligence, knowledge etc. All it teaches you is how to be arrogant and tell lies. This is something we need to desperate educate the society so that no more people fall into the trap, so no more people commit suicide due to the church's actions.

Let the celebrities join the church, a group of idiots who believe almost anything they are told. But once again, the beliefs of the church are so irrational, illogical and absurd that only the most idiotic and uneducated people will believe.

But as for the rest of us, let us not choose torture. Let us choose freedom. Let us choose individuality. Choose creativity. Scientology is the modern and realistic Miniluv. Let us not live in a world where Big Brother is watching you. Let us not establish a system of Minitruth and the party. Instead, let us debunk the Church of Scientology.

The Road Not Taken.

Article 19.

• Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

So I want to talk about that article taken from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

The Australian Federal Government has recently proposed to pass a legislation which bans and censors certain material and sites on the internet. From experimental tests, it has shown than the filters are able to be bypassed. I don't understand why Australia is all of a sudden wanting to establish the "Great Firewall of Australia" as it has been coined. The most technical literate would be able to bypass the filters set by ISPs easily. Australia is in my opinion, denying citizens the right to movement in the cyber world and be able to "seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers." Having compulsory filtering of internet sites and material is clearly denying information to the Australian public, no matter how controversial it is. We all have our own established opinions on what is right and wrong, our own moral and ethical code and for the Federal Government to intervene and interfere with our freedom is unacceptable behaviour.

Since it can be bypassed, I don't know why the government is still pushing for the legislation to be passes through parliament even with critiques. I think Australia is making a very wrong move in "protecting" the Australian civilians by having censorship on information, denying knowledge and education of the outside world.

I thought Australia was a free country if not the best. I am now having second thoughts. What happened to democracy?
