Do scientologists believe in God
Post #1I was wondering if Scientologists believed in God....I know they believe in a Galactic overlord or something, but what do they thing on the origin of the universe.
Post #2
From wikipedia:
They dont really postulate anything about the origin of the universe:Scientology and the Supreme Being
Scientology acknowledges the existence of a Supreme Being and believes perception and worship of God is a personal matter. The Church of Scientology is non-denominational. Scientologists worship God as they choose to.
Scientology is built on the foundation of L. Ron Hubbards Dianetics and addresses more spritituality than religion per se. Scientology itself mean pseudoscience. Though currently it is more along the lines of the study of knowledge or the study of truth.[edit] Beliefs and central tenets of Scientology
The central tenets of Scientology are based on the belief that a person is an immortal spiritual being (referred to as a thetan) who is from outer space and came here on a space ship and was put into a volcano. When volcanoes erupted the thetans were released and put into humans. A thetan is basically good and trying to survive. No person survives alone, but does so ultimately in coordination with their fellows, and with the greater world around them.
Scientology holds that not only can people change—improving themselves and their conditions, but they can be helped. This is summed up in the slogan: "Something can be done about it." Scientology believes that something should be done about the problems of people and the current condition of the world at large, and makes it a goal to "clear the planet," that is, make all the people of the world the beneficial users of the tools of Scientology.
There are said to be specific Scientology procedures for addressing almost any condition or situation, and great emphasis is placed on applying the correct procedure for a particular condition. The correct procedure, accurately employed, is said to guarantee a successful result in a short period of time. If this result does not ensue, the cause is held to be that the incorrect procedure was applied, or was applied improperly. Each procedure is used until a specific end result is accomplished
