German Govt. Fears Scientology Will Destroy Democracy, Puts Up Anti-Scientology Sign
The German government refuses to recognize Scientology as a religion, will not grant them tax exemption, and attempted to ban it in 2007. They believe that the cult’s practices are ”a possible danger to democratic society” and aren’t taking that shit laying down - they’ve placed a sign across from Scientology HQ in Berlin reading:
Those are some fighting words - I bet Tom Cruise is quaking in his poofy pants right now. Maybe some “responsible parties” will dig up some dirt on Scientology and the German Government can wield its mighty ban-hammer and finally run Scientology out of their country. |

The German government is afraid that Tom Cruise’s new movie will inspire Germans to flock to the church of Scientology, thus destroying German democracy. Apparently when Tom Cruise dons poofy pants and a ridiculous eye patch he taps into the Wagnerian soul of the Deutsches Volk and his sweet song of L. Ron Hubbard resonates irresistibly with the essence of the German heart.

As much as I’m weirded out by scientology… I do think the German government sorta has a bit of a reputation for going a little bit too far in the past when expressing their disapproval of other religions I’m weirded out by. So I’m honestly not sure who to be more creeped out by in this story — the scientologists or the Germans.

Seriously, it’s currently illegal in Germany to deny the holocaust and Germans seriously regret the whole Nazi era. Scientology is dodgy and the German government is right to recognise this.
