Scientology

A pro about Scientology that I found interesting is the idea of thetan. The entire "religion" is based off of the idea that your body and mind make up you. They believe that the mind has limitless possibilities and knowledge is power. There are many cons that can be said about the church of Scientology. For instance, their secrecy is widely disliked and has caused them to be considered a cult. They conduct a lot of research that is never shared outside of the organization. Scientology is also known for attacking opposition and critical questioning of the organization. In Clearwater, FL the church of scientology has built their "spiritual headquarters" which they call the Flag Building. On the official website for Scientology, it says:

"Here is a place where we can now realize L. Ron Hubbard's vision for a better world at a magnitude commensurate with the technology itself.

This is the cornerstone of that new and better world.

This is the majesty of Scientology.

This is our cathedral."

Finding out that the Scientology headquarters is in Clearwater is interesting to me, but also not surprising. Being from Ohio, I really never saw Scientology churches much and when I got to Tampa I saw them everywhere. It makes sense that they would build the headquarters where a large majority of their followers are from.
