"F. Rice on F. Rice,"
Fredric Rice's most recent postings concerning
Scientology are a
reflection of his mindset as an anti-religionist, atheist, hater of
religions in general, and a member of the
"skeptics" movement.
Fredric Rice was never active in Scientology
in any capacity. He has
not had any contact with Scientology
Churches and never ever took part
in any of the Church's activities.
He has no knowledge of the Church of
Scientology, its teachings and
catechism; yet he has overstepped the constitutional boundries of
free expression by openly advocating violence against adherents of
the religions he hates:
a) On July 29, 1999 he exhorted Bob Minton to exercise less restraint.
Minton has twice been arrested for assaulting Scientologists and has
shot at Scientologists in his neighborhood with a shotgun. Rice wrote
about Minton:
"I would hope he kills the criminals rather than exhibit
the restraint and understanding he has so far. I will reload for him
any time."
b) Rice posted a call on the Internet for private, personal information
about a
Los Angeles attorney, specifically asking for the name of his
wife and that "if he has or had any daughters, I need to know
what their names are."
Fredric Rice does not confine his anti-religious sentiments to
Scientology.
In his own words,
"Christianity is founded upon resentment and fear,
gullibility, wishful thinking, indoctrination and greed." He
refers to Christianity as a "historically evil cult" and talks
about Chritianity's "shoddy ethics" and "immmoral
nature." He states that he "learned the history of the Christian
cult in High School" and calls Christian doctrine "unworthy of
respect, let alone worship." He continues by claiming that the
Jewish Talmud and Toldoth, as well as the Islamic Koran "were no
better."
On his website he proclaims that he found that Nazism and Christianity
were "virtually indistinguishable. They both have their prophet,
Christ and Hitler. They both have their scapegoats -- homosexuals and
the jews.... They both preach hatred of a minority" ... "Sieg
Heil." [FLR: I haven't managed to find the text the Church of
Scientology is quoting here. It
looks like the cult made this one up.
The closest I could find is
Hitler and Christianity though I don't think that's the right one.]
Rice cynically refers to himself an
"ordained reverend,... ordained by the Universal Life Church"
(ULC). Should this ring strange to
anyone, here is more about the ULC (quoted from its web page): "The
Universal Life Church has no traditional doctrine... Each individual has
the privilege and the responsibility to determine what is right for them --
as long as it does not impinge upon the rights of others... We are
active advocates and staunch defenders of the First Amendment of the
Constitution of the United States of America..." Wouldn't it behoove
him at least stick to the rules of this church?
Cooler heads should prevail, don't you think?
