Interesting.

One of the best advantages you can give your enemy is to not take him seriously.

Well, it's not exactly the same, but one YTMND references links to Wikipedia, it talks about this (and a few other things):

that's why I'm atheist.

Shouldn't you be ahumanist, since humans are the ones doing the lying?

Eh?  It's the theism that's inducing and propagating lies in this context.  It's not like you'd say, say the 'cannibalistic child raping cult of Mordrath' was the fault of the believer but not the priests or the people who invented it.

Not that I'm an expert, but I thought scientology was not theistic? Or are you referring to religion in a general sense here (which is generally theistic).

I think scientology can be said to deify Hubbard himself.

I wouldn't go that far. They don't worship the man; perhaps his (fake) achievements, but not the man himself.

Level 8 (or whatever) Scientologists can control thoughts.

Scientology is a horrible, horrible cult, do a search for "a piece of blue sky" on google and you can read the book. it's a fascinating read and you'll educate yourself on why scientology is bad bad bad. Before I read it I had some idea scientology was a semi-benevolent quasi-religion, now I understand it is a soul-destroying uberscam.

Let me re-phrase that so it's more cose to the truth:
