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.

AskNeisha asked this question on 5/26/2000:

totally scare me.

So, tell me this...it sounds like they are an orgaqnization to don't answer to anyone but themselves (to a large degree). The terrible things that they're doing, do they know they're terrible and that they are wrong for doing them but, choose to do them anyway? Or, do they actually think what they are doing is okay? Do you know what I mean?

Terrible things are justified by Scientologists. They really do believe, for the most part, that things like attacking their enemies with rabidity are good, in that they help to advance Scientology.

They've been hypnotized and conditioned to believe that hurting people is okay, if those people are "enemies."

It's a devilishly clever and particularly destructive meme that has been used successfully by totalitarian megalomaniacs throughout history.

If you are familiar with the Inquisition in the middle ages, the Catholic clerics justified the torturing and murdering of perhaps 100s of thousands of innocents, using similar justifications. The Thuggee cult of the Indian subcontinent did the same thing, as did the more recent examples of Jim Jones and Ashikara of the Aum Shinrikyo cult just a few years ago.
