Does Scientology have a God

Answer 1

This is a good question. I am an ordained minister who has been a Scientologist for over 20 years. When I came into Scientology I was looking to know about myself. I was not "looking for a religion". I wanted to improve myself. I read Scientology books and they worked. I seemed to get better. My business got better and I applied what I learned about life from Scientology. And as my life improved, I learned to improve the life of others. It made me really feel good. I worked a lot in down trodden areas of Asia. I helped people learn and study better, get them off drugs, and raise their IQ. I especially worked hard in helping those in disaster areas. Then I heard a senior Scientologist one day say that he most definitely believed in God. He was so emphatic. The concept of God was written about by Mr. Hubbard in several books but I never gave it much thought. You see, Mr. Hubbard (who founded Scientology) was a man, not a messenger from God. So he did not speak of God for God. He spoke or wrote of God as only a man might. He did write that man would demise once he gave up the belief in God. (Science of Survival, 1951) Obviously to me then Mr. Hubbard was a very Godly person. But he did not bring the subject of God heavily into his own teachings, other than to mention that God most definitely was apparent. So I thought about this. He said that God existed. He did not teach about it as a Christian might. In the Ministers Course - which I undertook - I read holy texts. I read what others had written about God; the entire Holy Bible, the Holy Koran, the four Vedas, books on Hinduism, and Buddhism, Shinto and more. Then the penny dropped. I got it. We were not speaking of the same thing between religions. Words have meanings, but the word religion is different for different people. I use the religion definitions from the Chambers dictionary 1949. There is a Natural Religion, as is Scientology, Hinduism, and Buddhism, and there are Revealed Religions, such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. So, to answer the question, yes, Scientology does have a God. but for some like me, it takes a while to recognize what God might be. However, in saying that, Scientology does not worship God or Gods as Revealed Religions may. Alternatively, it enables an individual to come to his own understanding as to what God is and his own companion with God. The Scientology term for God I like best, is the Allness Of All.

They have a thing for Mr. Hubbard

They believe in Xenu, the dictator of the galactic confederacy 75 million years ago. Seriously, check out xenu.net.

Answer 2

Scientology is an "applied philosophy", and is nondenominational.

Christian belief is accepted, but is not part of Scientology practice. Many Scientologists are Christian, but Scientology is not related to Christianity.

Scientology is a practice more than a belief, and is non exclusive. Scientologists are free to participate in any other religious practices or beliefs they like.

Answer 3

No. The Church of Scientology has a completely different set of beliefs that some see as based on Science Fiction.

Answer

The Holy Scriptures written by The GOD L. Ron. Hubbard

The God Ron said "Never Defend, Always Attack". He "thought" and then "Doctrine of Fair Game" came into being into this Sinful World to control it.

He saw that people got sick and he claimed to all mankind. "That all illness in greater or lesser degree and all foul-ups stem directly and only from a PTS condition".

He saw that all real causes of illnesses and symptoms, had to be suppressed, hidden, erased from his Ronbots' brains, so he needed a way to keep the fraud secret. So he claimed to his slaves that all the REAL CAUSES of illnesses in the world were only an illusion and a deception created by psychiatrists to dominate the world in mental health and MDs in physical health.

"So long as a physiological phenomenon remains the knowledge of a few and is denied to the many it can be utilized to control the many." LRH (from Journal of Scientology Issue 4-G from Oct. 1952)

But the truth even though suppressed, has been exposed. I am the only living soul (outside of upper Sea Org staff) who knows exactly how his 72 hour delayed physiological reactions (restimulation) really work, and why it works and how to stop it from working or reverse it.

Scientology's God Ron has hidden this physiological phenomenon as their secret, of a human function so old that it came before mankind could walk. Even animals have physiological reactions, and the God RON claims that if your dog is sick, you had to suppress it by making it PTS to you.

The God Ron claims that 72 hours after being near a Suppressive Person you or your pet will get sick. He claims that all SPs restimulate and is the ONLY cause or source of ALLillnesses and accidents or foul-ups. But the cult also claims that ALL people that dislike and/or oppose Scientology are Suppressive Persons without exception.

Then God Ron ordered "Disconnection", "Fair Game", and also the prohibition and restriction of all Ronbots from reading, listening, studying or viewing certain channels or media, literature, or talking to us, to keep them ignorant.

The God called Ron observed the physiological reaction of the human body and brain and then invented a religion, after he discovered that study tech and auditing, comes from physiological reactions. Then he invented the fraud called PTS-SP tech, as a way to control people and encourage the suppression and victimization of humanity.

The greatest crime of all is that the knowledge of using Physiological reactions to find the real causes of all illnesses, has been denied and used as a tool to kill, harass, and abuse any that oppose them. God gave us symptoms of illnesses as a clue or tool to find the true cause in order to heal ourselves and not to hurt mankind.

The true power of Dianetics and Scientology is used for evil- but it will be exposed.

Always find the true and real source of all illnesses-The GOD RON lies.

Answer 4

In Scientology, the concept of God is expressed as the Eighth Dynamic-the urge toward existence as infinity. This is also identified as the Supreme Being. As the Eighth Dynamic, the Scientology concept of God rests at the very apex of universal survival. As L. Ron Hubbard wrote in Science of Survival:

"No culture in the history of the world, save the thoroughly depraved and expiring ones, has failed to affirm the existence of a Supreme Being. It is an empirical observation that men without a strong and lasting faith in a Supreme Being are less capable, less ethical and less valuable to themselves and society....A man without an abiding faith is, by observation alone, more of a thing than a man."

Unlike religions with Judeo-Christian origins, the Church of Scientology has no set dogma concerning God that it imposes on its members. As with all its tenets, Scientology does not ask individuals to accept anything on faith alone. Rather, as one's level of spiritual awareness increases through participation in Scientology auditing and training, one attains his own certainty of every dynamic. Accordingly, only when the Seventh Dynamic (spiritual) is reached in its entirety will one discover and come to a full understanding of the Eighth Dynamic (infinity) and one's relationship to the Supreme Being.
