Scientologist Writes about Religious Tolerance in South Africa

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:05 am By ScientologyBeliefs

STAND member from South African shares his experience of tolerance in post-apartheid South Africa I guess there is bigotry everywhere, but oddly enough I don’t experience too much of that here in South Africa. If you look for it, you will probably find it, but bigots are no longer welcome here. An American friend who was out in Joburg recently was stunned that race relations in this country were so benign, bearing in mind this is the country which invented apartheid (racial separateness)....

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:05 am By ScientologyBeliefs

Scientologist Deanne MacDonald writes about the ethics (or lack of it ) in media’s treatment of Islam. Republished courtesy of STAND. Now, why didn’t you hear about this? Muslims speaking out against terrorism. This should be big news. Especially when it is over 30,000 of them. The press has covered much smaller protests. Why not this one? Because we have a press corps that seems intent on spreading terrible things about virtually every religion. Some of the most heinous crimes... Read more

Scientologist Debunks the “Atheists are Smarter” Myth

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:05 am By ScientologyBeliefs

In this blog entry on the STAND website, Scientologist Rodger Clark takes issue with atheist assertions that intelligence is somehow connected to an absence of religious belief. Several researchers in the field of psychology descended from the ultra-recirculated, purified air of academia to address the amoebic, unwashed masses (us). Citing 53 out of 63 studies that show a “negative correlation” between religiosity and intelligence, they declare that atheists are smarter than religious people, after which they ascended once again to...
