>>84463 That's my only real beef with foundational religion, abstracting "association with fellow worshippers" from the list: they've only changed to reflect social systems and, where need be, humility. I haven't seen a single reputable religion out there that has actually tried to prove things, and without that proof the only thing they are required to say are things that are in-line with their past record of things said. One of the things I find sadly befuddled about these sorts of religions are their acute classifications of enlightenment.
Hindu reincarnation and, to an extent, core intentions behind Scientology beyond the "let's make money" parts I can at least have some respect for trying to spurn an ethereal ubermensch. The problem with this is that no one will ever know if it works. Bodhisattva(s) are hard to come by and can't be self-divined, the transcendency is transparent, and its actualization (where they may be: there have never been any claimed-as-successful patrons of Scientology, including Hubbard himself) is beyond human perspective.
