Here is a video of David Miscavage describing how psychology describes what religion is. DM uses out of context language to paint science as being not comparable with religion. This clip should be shown in college classes that deal with the topic of science and religion and how they interact with each other. This clearly shows that some religious people are offended by science. Not all religious people are offended by science.

He is a Scientologist, what would you expect? Even Charles Manson tried Scientology, and said it was nuts.
Getting to the basics, modern psychology has been proven vastly superior to Scientology, he knows it, and is just trying to discredit psychology.
Some religious people are offended by religion.
What can one say to that? I think el fucking stiffo is appropriate , and I hope you never breed. .
Scientology doesn't believe in psychiatry, very similar to psychology. . (see below)
The link below is to a youtube clip from that towering intellect of Scientology, little Tommy Cruise. The topic is psychiatry:

OF COURSE Hubbard was anti psychiatry. The man was a malignant narcissist and quite possibly psychotic . Nuts ,anyway.
Why does that sound familiar?

Psychology vs Psychiatry
The main difference between psychology and psychiatry stems from the fact that while psychiatry pays specific attention to mental disorders, psychology adopts a much broader perspective in studying the human thought processes and actions in all walks of life. Psychology is a discipline that studies the mental processes and behavior of human beings in a scientific manner while psychiatry refers to the study of mental disorders that encompasses diagnosis, treatment, prevention and management. In this sense, the conflating psychology and psychiatry together is rather faulty since there exists a difference between the two disciplines. This article attempts to provide a general idea of the two terms while bringing out the differences between psychology and psychiatry.

David Miscavage? Are you kidding? Nothing that excuse for a human being says should be taken anywhere but the local dump top be buried for ever.
Meet people who know that piece of excrement dressed in a nice suit and you will find the truth about him and his, yes it is HIS "Church of Scientology" . Exploitative, fake and tenacious to the point of criminal behaviour Cof S is the leading example of how to produce despots.

Re: OP Vid clip
1. Who the hell is that guy suppose to be?
2. Piss-poor quality, both picture and sound. Looks like the voice is dubbed over what the guy might actually be saying. To say the least, a bit difficult to take it seriously. Matter of fact, could barely hear the guy at full volume, so stopped watching just a few seconds into it.
Re: "...to paint science as being not comparable with religion."
Science: Asks questions and goes looking for the answers wherever they may lead.
Religion: Already has all the answers and ignores/suppresses all answers that do not coincide with theirs.
Yep, I would say that is pretty much not comparable. Oh, but maybe you actually meant to say they are not "compatible"?... Hmmm... Oh, never mind. Wouldn't matter. Totally incompatible for the same reason.
Re: "...the topic of science and religion and how they interact with each other."
Ummmm.... I'm guessing they interact about like oil and water. Again, just a guess... *shrugging shoulders*...
@Lord Xenu: You suffering fools have been infected with space alien parasites and don't even know it. Your comments are dripping with Thaten stench. Scientology is not a religion, it is a process for exterminating the Thatens from your body and freeing your soul. It is the only belief system that can save mankind. It is the oldest system of beliefs known to mankind. It has been saving souls for 75 million years. All praise to Lord Xenu!!!

Well, why didn't you say so at the beginning? That makes perfect sense. Certainly no loopier than any of the Abrahamic religions or Mormonism.
Yeah it is just not as old or popular as the other crazy myths.
Talking snakes? Anything to do with jesus? (a god, a son, immaculate birth, but lets it die on a stake only to be resurrected?)
List goes on and on.
@cranky: My thoughts exactly!
Science is not compatible with fantasies about non existent myths, well is anyone remotely shocked?
Ever since Galileo's challenge to the self proclaimed authority of the superstitious guff peddled by the RCC, all objective open minded people can see that science is by far and away our best method for understanding reality. Whereas religion was just a poor first attempt, that persists only through ignorance and superstition. So of course they are incompatible, since religion is naught nut superstitious myth, while science is based on objective evidence, so it's a no brainer, and the sooner everyone wakes up this fact the better off we will all be.
