Who's Anonymous?

 

*sigh* ok I'll bite as this could be good to discuss in this topic as well.

Anonymous is a group based on the internet originally formed on the website 4chan to perform lulz or pranks if you will. Each raid, event, was either a hack or threat of some type.

Later the group split into different groups with different agendas.

The splinter group of Anonymous, still caluled anonymous, that I am apart of is about lulz but of a justified manner. We are standing up against the tyrany of the Church of Scientology.

Yep, but like I said in my first post I support their right to believe in what they want. I support Free Zone Scientology. I just have issues with the main branch of Scientology ie the one that steals money from its members. Religion is free, knowledge is free, if you want to pay donate dont pay for what should be freely available.

Is anyone here prepared to say
Just what they mean or is it too late?
For anyone here to try to do
Just what is takes to get through to you

So let's all make believe
That we're still friends and we like each other
Let's all make believe
In the end we're gonna need each other

Stradle my hope and make me pray
To a God I've never seen, but who I've betrayed
To the people who live the earth, the life In a place I'll never be 'til I'm crucified

So let's all make believe
We're still friends and we like each other
Let's all make believe
In the end we'll need each other

Let's all make believe
That all mankind's gonna feed our brother
Let's all make believe
That in the end we'll all grow up

So let's all make believe
We're still friends and we like each other
Let's all make believe

The thing about Scientology is that it's a legal paradox.

It exists as a church, officially recognized by the U.S. government as a religion, so the Church of Scientology (CoS) doesn't have to pay taxes.

But at the same time, they are owned by Religious Technologies Corporation (RTC), so they can legally copyright their books and sue you if you post it online. And you have to pay to learn.


Imagine the Catholic Church copyrighting their Bible, and charging you $200 for Genesis, and then $200 for Exodus, and then when you've mastered the Old Testament, you get a fancy promotion, and you're in really deep and feel awesome, but then they go "oh wait there's more" and charge you $500 for each Gospel.

It would give you the impression that they care more about taking your money than converting you to save your soul, wouldn't it?

That's how CoS/RTC works.

You pay each step of the way, and each step is more expensive.

There is a group of Scientologists called the Free Zone however, who believe that they should be able to study it all for free. They believe in it, and want to share it with their friends and family, and can't do so legally because it's copyrighted.

I'm an animist. Discuss.

interesting, never meet an animist. Very interesting views of the world. I agree with the thought that all living objects have a life force behind them. I don't totally understand the belief that all natural accurances have life forces though, I have a hard time seeing a form of spiritual or universal energy causing a rock slide. Care to explain the idea behind that?

Well, for your example of a rock slide. There's a universal energy that accompanies that rockslide but the "cause" is undoubtedly physics. The energy could potentially be good or bad but it's usually just neutral. All things being equal, the animistic influence will tend toward harmony.

interesting so its similar to the idea that for every good in the universe there is a bad or there is always an opposite energy or force. So black holes = there are white holes.

Kind of buy not necessarily. For instance the death of five people in battle may move toward inharmony and the birth of two children thousands of miles away will move things towards much greater harmorny. The opposite of an enourmous black hole may be the existence of an infinite amount of very small black holes.

interesting but shouldnt Sir Isaac Newton's law that for every action there should be an equal and opposite reaction. Meaning that a black hole has to have an opposite force which would be a while hole. Meaning like you said death and life bring balance so a black hole which removes energy and a white hole which replaces would being balance. You cannot have two negatives to equal a positive.
