Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.

lrfarny gave this response on 5/9/2000: "Persecution of the freezone" Interesting notion. I would phrase it as enforcement of our intellectual property rights against thieves. I support freedom of belief. I don't support theft. Simple as that.

You claim to support religious belief and freedom of religion and yet you want to deny people to practice Scientology? How do you reconcile those two insanely divergent claims? Doesn't prolonged cognitive dissonance cause ringing in your ears? <smile>

Seriously, how do you reconcile wanting to deny people their Constitutional rights with your claims that you don't want to violate their rights? what Hubbard policy are you following to justify such an unusual notion?

Thanks.

What makes you suddenly want to come to the defense of the freezone, Fred? You are so insanely opposed to any religion, I would have thought that even you would have perceived the fatal conflict in taking up the cudgel for these people.

You rated this answer a 1.

L. Ron Hubbard called your response "taking the through the hills and far away" in the hopes that the person asking the question wouldn't notice that you didn't answer it.

When you're ready to answer the question honestly, please forward it to frice@raids.org.

Until then, try thinking up a good excuse for wanting to deny people their religious rights while at the same time claiming to support other people's religious rights. And let's see if you can come up with a list of those religions you'll allow to have rights and which religions you won't.

Thanks.
