Re: Russia better be careful
ERa country that permits — (archived)

EDITED:

Wait a minute, isn't that a contradiction? Scientology claims to be a religion, but that's only so it can evade taxes. It's just a pseudoscience.

Also, scientology is banned by a country that recognizes the Greek Orthodox church, which now has great influence in Russia, and where it has always been allowed to exist, even under Red oppression, so it is, in a way, being banned by a real religion.

Russia has always been a religious country, except for the period when the Reds were in power. The Reds did persecute religion, but the Soviet constitution actually guaranteed religious freedom. So "banned" is not exactly accurate. It is only under the Greek Orthodox regime that the law has moved to actually ban Scientology.

And TB, as usual, neglects to mention Russia is no longer Red, which is what you know is all he really cares about.
He is trying to demonstrate scientifically that the Russian banning of scientology is proof that his taxes are too high and Obama is a socialist.

Next thing you're going to tell me is that you see some kind of "pattern" here. What pattern?
