Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By scientologyb

The questions is often raised: Does Scientology have a concept of God? The answer is: Most definitely. In Scientology, the concept of God is expressed as the Eighth Dynamic—the urge toward existence as infinity. This is also identified as the Supreme Being.

Ron Hubbard wrote in Science of Survival: “No culture in the history of the world, save the thoroughly depraved and expiring... Read more

In What Way Does Scientology Differ From Other Religions?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By scientologyb

While Scientology shares much in common with other religions as regards basic religious concepts and a mandate to improve society, the most valuable asset Scientology offers is an actual technology for achieving greater spiritual awareness. Moreover, while many religions promise salvation in the hereafter, Scientology offers certainty of eternal salvation now.

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:17 am By treeves

I originally wrote this article directly following a successful mid-term checkup my wife had with her midwife, when she was pregnant with our second child.
