If this were a forum packed with
Scientologists who have what I would
consider a rather conformist and/or blinkered view of at least some
aspects of Scientology, and if there were only a spattering of critics
here, I'd choose to concentrate my communication on the side of
criticism. I prefer to question prevailing opinion rather than ride
with it.
But this is a.r.s.. I am the
spattering here, the minority. And almost
anything I've written, whether in support of Scientology or even in
qualified support of critics has been received with one or another form
of dissent or with silence.
[...]
But I certainly didn't begin
writing to add my criticism to what I
consider an already overwhelmingly biased, and all too often quite
lunatic, discussion of a subject for which I have a great deal of
regard.
So, no, what's missing here
isn't further criticism of Scientology from
me, but a more informed, less biased, more objective and balanced
approach to the mass of criticism already here. That would do for
starters. Then we could take it from there.
If and when the discussion ever
does become more balanced, I'll be
pleased to give lessons in criticising Scientology, too. In the
meantime I may consider myself obliged to carry on more or less as I've
been doing. |
