I would be quite interested to find out what the creed of scientology is. You can walk into a church or a mosque or a synagogue and they'll tell you what they believe in. Even Zoroastrians TRY to explain.

meh, I used to be a scientologist, but that was several years ago.

When most scientologists are interviewed they are usually very closed off to any questions. When asked about the E-meter they will usually just say "i dont know what you are talking about" and give you a blank stare. If they are asked about the people tortured for apostasy or homosexuality they will usually do the same. Do not trust scientologists. Hopefully this will be a better experience... fingers crossed.

Why would anyone familiar with reddit want to do this? They should know it would just people calling them crazy and having a huge anti-religious circlejerk.

I haven't really been a redditor for that long, but every single Scientologist IAMA I've seen has consisted of people immediately asking them to explain some of the beliefs or how much money they've given the "church," OP clamming up, and the IAMA dying within minutes.

That said, best of luck.

Would probably get more luck, or at least more honest and interesting information if you asked for an ex-scientologist AMA. As others have pointed out, you won't get much of interest from people in the "church", as they are either too low level to know much, or too high level to want to discuss it. IF they were willing to do an AMA at all, that is.

I often have nightmares about Scientology.

My high school girlfriend's father was a former Scientologist and still got literature mailed to their house. This was in the late 90s when wikipedia didn't exist yet and we didn't all have instant access to all kinds of "WTF" material, so it was pretty amazing for me flipping through glossy pages showing various home e-readers for sale.

I'm not sure he was ever super serious about it though... I think he only cleared the first (cheap) level before deciding it was all just a moneymaking scam.

If a person has beliefs they should be willing to discuss them, they should have a desire to clear up misunderstandings. Just about every other religion has had a member do an AMA.

I have a question for the many Americans. You [Americans] preach of freedom and glorify the whole spread of freedom. This country was founded on the idea of Freedom of Religion. Why is it that so many people want to picket outsde of Scientology churches and constantly abuse people who aren't hurting anyone and believing in got own faith? What business is it ours whether or not they believe the same thing you do. Many people in US don't believe Jesus is the Christ, but you don't crucify them as much as you do to Scientologists...why?

Do Scientologists eat the body or drink the blood of their Savior? #LookingAtYouChristians

I agree...

Do you see scientology ever becoming as big as Catholicism or Islam? and does your faith have a similar agenda/primary goal like the 'caliphate' system that Whabi Islam has?

Who cares, they aren't gonna tell us anything different compared to most religions

Where do scientologists stand on the issue of buttfucking?
