That was the program I was talking about. I guess it wasn't Louis Theroux. Regardless, you should all watch this.

I would tend to dispute that even the well-established ones should be immune to analysis and criticism. If a religions is abused for the sake of extortion, intimidation and brainwashing then it deserves to be justly criticized. Even if Scientology is a genuine religion (we'll ignore that particular debate for now) the CoS is responsible for some deeply immoral practices. It just happens to have a legal team that is capable of some fantastic brinksmanship.
A religion should not be allowed to exploit "freedom of speech" in order to sweep those kinds of transgressions under the rug.

The Catholic Church doesn't exactly have a military. They have the Swiss Guards, for sure, but the closest thing they've got to a legal team is the Cardinals.
Also, I am annoyed by this business about all the hate on 4chan. We don't blackmail people into giving us money.

Yeah, all they do is promote child pornography!
IronOxide:
I thought 4chan had a pretty vocal con-child porn stance.
KharBevNor:
Yeah, no child porn on 4chan.
Well, no child porn that hasn't been placed in one of those cunning archives that are disguised as jpegs.
