Does Scientology Have a Concept of God?

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

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. As the Eighth Dynamic, the Scientology concept of God rests at the very apex of universal survival. As L. Ron Hubbard wrote in Science of Survival: “No culture in the history of the world, save the thoroughly depraved and expiring ones, has failed to affirm the existence of a Supreme Being. It is an empirical... Read more

Scientology Anti-Drug Initiative

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

The Church published a year-in-review story on the Scientology anti-drug campaign. It bears repeating. It is such a serious issue, but the good news is it can be addressed effectively. Scientology Churches joined forces with like-minded groups and individuals in 2011, reaching more than 100 million people with factual information on drugs. The need for effective drug prevention has never been more urgent. Some 210 million people internationally consume illegal drugs—more than the populations of California, New York, the United...

Human Rights Day 2011: Church of Scientology Spearheading Human Rights Education.

Last updated on: October 24, 2017 at 5:14 am By scientologyb

On the 63rd anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Church of Scientology urges mandatory human rights education as the key to its full implementation of the Declaration. Human rights are the rights that belong to everyone without exception—to people of any color, creed, age, ethnicity or gender.
