Orthodox christianity also worked for me. It's an easy way out, you have a ll the answers and that's it. You don't have to work to understand things, it's all there. Simple, huh? But it doesn't work that way. If you want to have easy answers, easy solutions, religion is for you. But if you want to think to achieve something, to get an answer, it isn't.

And if you had "the answer" would you keep it to yourself?
Here are a couple more quotes on this topic.
"Now, let's see how a person would make his gains in this field. He would make his gains in this field by being shown a way. But how far could we show him this way? We'd have to show him the way in such a way as it didn't invalidate him nor bring him to a pre-conclusion."
"Well they never find it out because they have no tradition of finding out things for themselves or recognizing truth when they see it. And when they have no tradition left of that, they become slaves."
This is from a lecture by LRH which was explaining Scientology. He was explaining that one new thing about Scientology is that it invites you to "dig up some answers".
What people know in religion has become tradition and is no longer inspected. It is believed.
There's nothing to "believe" in Scientology which you haven't experienced for yourself.
You aren't asked to take anything on faith alone, because Scientology is something to use.
That's why I keep saying that what I know about Scientology can be applied, which makes it real to me.
--- Quote ---Well, that's just being an idiot. "If someone, or something, gives me evidence that it in fact is true, then it's still not true"

I missed this before. That's a really good point :D
Let me tell you, I've got plenty of evidence that things in Scientology - and Dianetics especially - are true. Upon evidence there is no denying it. You can't look results in the face and say "Nope. Still don't see it."
The "it's still not true" quote only has to do with being told "facts".
