religioustolerance.org é seguro?

A fairly accurate religion site, and they don't aim to bash anyone. But they do make a case for some rather 'liberal' interpretations regarding social issues, which ought to be born in mind. However, unless you're looking for a perfect and totally unbiased site, this is worthwhile one to visit. Sexuality is a major topic here, so 'child safety' depends on the parent's discretion regarding those issues.

religioustolerance.org is the website on comparative religion owned and ran by the OCRT, the Ontario Consultants for Religious Tolerance, a small and independent group of non-professional authors. Their website sometimes gets mistaken for a Scientology website because a similar URL was once bought and taken over by scientology. www.religioustolerance.org is however, NOT that website. Please thumbs-down comments that perpetuate this confusion. OCRT have a page on Scientology that is correctly critical of the oddbaal and malfarious 'religion'.

This site is NOT RELATED TO SCIENTOLOGY, perhaps people have it confused with a site called Religious Freedom Watch. I find this site an extremely useful resource on religion, personally I have not seen as wide-ranging a site on the Web as far as spirituality is concerned.

Contrary to assertions made here, the site is not owned by the Church of Scientology. That was a claim, later disproved and withdrawn, made by someone at the Snopes forum. The confusion arose partly from the fact that most of their old material on Scientology came from Scientologists, partly from the fact that—true to their core purpose—they refuse to outright condemn any major religion, no matter how cultish.

This site lies. They say that Conservative Christians believe the Bible is only understood by those who are "saved" and is otherwise totally confusing. The exact quote is, "How one can understand the Bible: One must first be 'saved' before the Holy Spirit will help you understand the Bible. Otherwise, the Bible is totally confusing." This is a COMPLETE AND UTTER LIE! Avoid it. It is distributing misinformation to suit its own purpose.

I am the website's main author and are thus probably biased. But most of the objections here are related to our essays on Scientology. None of our group of 5 are Scientologists. We are not a Scientology front group. We discuss many dozens of different faith groups on our site. But our essays on Scientology seem to be a lightning rod.

Warnung; Sekte zur Unterwanderung von Staat, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft Scientology versucht den Staat und die Wirtschaft zu unterwandern, indem Mitglieder der Sekte entscheidende Positionen der entsprechenden Institutionen einnehmen sollen. Dazu werden Mitglieder und Mitarbeiter unter Druck gesetzt, sich in einem immer stärkeren Maße finanziell und physisch für die Organisation zu engagieren, was in vielen Fällen zum finanziellen Ruin und Zerstörung persönlicher und familiärer Bindungen und letztlich der Persönlichkeit selbst führt. Kritiker werden diffamiert, überwacht, mit Gerichtsprozessen verfolgt oder sogar bedroht. Dabei spielt der Scientology-Geheimdienst OSA eine bedeutende Rolle. Weitere Aktivitäten zu Unterwanderung der Gesellschaft sind Aktivitäten in der Drogenrehabilitation (Narconon) und Versuche, sich in der Schülernachhilfe zu etablieren und fragwürdige Therapie-Angebote (sog. "Auditing") auf dem Psychomarkt. Zur Tarnung ihrer sozialschädlichen oder strafbaren Aktivitäten gibt sich Scientology als Religionsgemeinschaft aus, um damit die gesetzlich verbriefte Religionsfreiheit zu missbrauchen und in Anspruch steuerlicher Vergünstigungen zu kommen. Entgegen der irreführenden Selbstdarstellung von Scientology als „Kirche“ handelt es sich jedoch um einen gewinnorientierten Weltkonzernsekte mit riesigen Umsätzen aus einem vielfältigen Firmengeflecht. Ausserdem: Angeblich enthält unsere Nahrung zu wenige Vitamine. Deswegen werden die Mitglieder dazu aufgefordert, Präparate von Matthias Rath - ein umstrittener deutscher Arzt und Wunderheiler dessen propagierte Heilverfahren der Zellularmedizin sich in wissenschaftlichen Studien als wirkungslos gezeigt haben - einzunehmen. *****

We are a multi-faith group. As of 2008-FEB, we consist of one Atheist, Agnostic, Christian, Wiccan and Zen Buddhist. Thus, the OCRT staff lack agreement on almost all theological matters, such as belief in a supreme being, the nature of God, interpretation of the Bible and other holy texts, whether life after death exists, what form the afterlife may take, etc.

Warning: ORGANIZED CRIME! Scientology Inc. is anti-Christian and anti-Christianity; they are also a hate group that attacks homosexuals and the medical profession. The sinister Scientology crime syndicate has been linked to deaths and injuries and should be avoided at all cost. Their narCONon scam's so-called "success rate" has been demonstrated to be worse than no drug interdiction at all. If you are in need of drug interdiction, please consider Narcotic Anonymous or some other valid, non-criminal organization.
