Intellectual Inquiry
I am reading this:
http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/europe/10/27/france.scientology.fraud/index.html
And I have a question within the first 10 seconds.
Did Eric Roux look up the definition of "Inquisition" before stating : "We think that this is really a modern Inquisition and that this is really dangerous for the freedom of religion in our country, and for sure we do not agree with that and we will go to appeal," Roux told CNN."
Dangerous to freedom of religion? Debateable. One could argue that many faiths "defraud" their followers. That's an entirely different discussion.
On par with the war declared on heresy by the Orthodox overrulers of medieval nations which included the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of converts and Jews from their home nations, and did not stop at sentences of death and extensive torture?
Seriously?
money and possible jail time = death, torture, complete loss of lives?
No.
"It's an empty case," Roux said. "It's run like an Inquisition, (as) if some people did not wake up from the Inquisition time."
Stop before you hurt yourself, Roux.
