I assume by your question that you are asking if Scientologists have Jesus Christ in their hearts.

I'm not a Scientologist. I'm a political critic of Scientology (the organization).

But to answer your question, no, they don't have Jesus in their hearts. At least not as a result of any training or indoctrination they receive from the Scientology organization.

Now it is true that some individual Scientologists may have some residual Christian beliefs that were inculcated into their minds prior to joining Scientology. But if such people stay in Scientology long enough, they will eventually be disabused of their Christian beliefs.

At the upper levels of Scientology, it is called "mixing practices" to continue going to a Christian church while pursuing Scientology coursework. Doing that can get a Scientologist severely punished, or even thrown out of Scientology.

But of course, none of this stops Scientology from shamelessly lying about being compatible with Christianity.

The truth is that Scientology is ultimately quite hostile and insulting toward Christian beliefs.

According to Scientology, the image of a crucified Christ is something we meat humans tend to gravitate toward only because an evil galactic ruler effectively brainwashed our spirits some 75 million years ago. So now and our spirits get continually refreshed with this brainwashing implant in between our meat lives, at implant stations on Mars and Venus.

This brainwashing keeps us as docile meat slaves, because our true godlike, immortal spirits are not welcome by other powerful forces in the Universe, such as the Marcabian invader fleets.

Be assured that I'm not joking. This is actually what the highest level Scientologists are taught.

In one lecture, Hubbard said that the historical Jesus was, as a spiritual leader, just a shade above "Clear," a state of alleged spiritual enlightenment which over 50,000 Scientologists have attained over the past 50 years.

In other words, according to their church, Scientologists routinely attain and surpass the spiritual enlightenment level of Jesus Christ, the Savior, the Son of God.

In another lecture, Hubbard claimed that he astrally traveled to Heaven, and that it wasn't all that special.

Of course, these beliefs are hidden from low level Scientologists. Can you guess why?

Of course, people would head for the doors in droves.

And unfortunately for many of these 50,000 Godlike Scientology "Clears", once they quit Scientology (and many of them have quit, perhaps as many as 1/2 to 3/4 of them), they see that they were not really quite as Godlike and powerful as they had been claiming to be, and reinforced to believe when they were within the sphere of the group's influence.

There are many hard lesson to unlearn for departing Scientologists. I think, that just like smoking cigarettes, Scientology is a bad habit that's best not started.
