Church of Scientology possibly to blame for man's suicide.

I'm saddened, but not at all surprised. The Church of Scientology has been responsible for the deaths of its members before-most notably that of Lisa McPherson (there is a link to the coroner's report on Lisa farther down this page), but others have also died suspiciously while involved with the Church or after leaving it.

What's terrible is how they keep getting away with it.

The Lisa McPherson thing scares me. Really.

Me too. Her death was a senseless tragedy in every sense of the term.

They're bad, but not as bad as the Christian "Science" people who kill their children and get away with it because they're "sincere". Uggh, Dogma.

Christian Scientists may let their children die because of their beliefs, but they are not (to my knowledge) going out there and killing, harassing, and assaulting people (virtually and reality-wise). So how are they worse than Scientology, again?

More deaths attributed to them. Possibly thousands. Children dying horrible deaths from treatable illnesses. I consider that worse. Also, They are trying to enact a bill that would make the national health plan, if it goes through, pay for their prayer services. They charge people hundreds of dollars to pray for them, and charge them even when their children die.

I think it's popular to publicize and make fun of Scientology, which granted, is fucked up and terrible and they do awful things, but I don't know if they do AS MANY. Or maybe it's just in a different way? I don't think the Christian Scientists get enough bad press.
