    As I was researching religion topics this ad popped up. This Jewish organization is sharing their books but also asking for money to continue their fellowship.

    This describes the pollution in the Ganges River-I do not condem Hinduism however unless I was raised under this religion I would have a hard time accepting their traditions.

    The Mayan calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012, spelling doomsday predictions. While astronomers say this is nonsense, others believe there will be a shift in world consciousness from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. Religious scholars say this has the beginnings of a new religious movement.">@import "/templates/css/news/common.css";@import "/templates/css/news/story.css";@import "/templates/css/news/print_story.css";

    People have always claimed that certain dates were going to be the end of the world... well they have come and gone and we are still here so i guess that I'm not going to worry about this one either.

      This is an interesting theory.
  • Education majors had a positive correlation with both the level of religious importance in one's life and the frequency of attendance at religious services.
  • For the physical sciences, including biology, the overall trend was neutral, with no major change in religiosity. Somewhat oddly, these students showed increased attendance at religious services, but a reduced sense of religious importance.

  • Those who attended religious services more regularly were more likely to attend college later. For those in the humanities and social sciences, a negative correlation was seen in both measures of religiosity.

Scientology L. Ron Hubbard Religion

  • That morning the chapel was contacted and informed there was a body that was to be gathered and cremated immediately, although the man died a day earlier. Gassett and Bang were told to make sure there was no foul play
  • Gassett and Bang arrived at the ranch where they were met by Hubbard's attorney, Earle Cooley, and his doctor, Gene Denk. "It was like, ‘Here's what happened and we don't want anything else going on here,'" Gassett remembered of their conversation. "‘We just want you to take the body and do the cremation.'"
  • The message from Cooley and Denk was clear that Hubbard was to be cremated immediately. Hubbard had drafted a new will that stated there would not be an autopsy because it violated his religious beliefs. The will was signed, dated, and imprinted with Hubbard's inked thumbprint. The new will, giving more assets to his family than a previous version, was dated the day before he died. At the time he was worth about $25 million.

  • That day, Scientologists were not told that Hubbard died, instead, "L. Ron Hubbard discarded the body he had used in this lifetime ... ." He had achieved a spiritual level "unimaginable," which was achieved "in an exterior state." No longer needing his body and unencumbered by its limits, Miscavige explained, Hubbard could continue to research more advanced levels of Scientology: Operating Thetan, referred to as the OT levels. The crowd broke into raucous applause.
