Some Christian pastors embrace Scientology

Some Christian congregations, particularly in lower income, urban areas, are turning to an unlikely source for help -- the Church of Scientology.

Scientologists do not worship God, much less Jesus Christ. The church has seen plenty of controversy and critics consider it a cult. So why are observant Christians embracing some of its teachings?

Two pastors who spoke recently with CNN explained that when it comes to religion, they still preach the core beliefs of Christianity. But when it comes to practicing what they preach in a modern world, borrowing from Scientology helps.
...
They say they are not scared off by programs with ties to a church that critics say has aggressive recruiting, secretive ways and rigid theology. As men of God rooted in Christian values, they do not see Scientology as a threat to their faith, but rather as a tool to augment it.

Ummmm... Can I get a big WTF??? I am flabbergasted. Read the full article on CNN for all the juicy bits. It goes on to add "Now Kennedy uses "The Way to Happiness" as a how-to supplement to his sermons. He believes it is easier to understand and clearer to follow than ancient Scriptures taken from the Bible." L. Ron Hubbard is easier to read than the bible? Yes. Reason to use it to pervert the minds of your congregation? NO!

I'm too tired to rip this idea up any more. It hurts my brain just thinking about it. If you would like, take a look at a good Scientology video I posted a while back.
