The French Smell Fraud

Scientologists in France can’t seem to catch a break :

A French judge has ordered two departments and seven prominent members of the Church of Scientology in France to stand trial on charges of organized fraud, a judicial source said on Monday.

The case is the latest in a series of legal battles that have pitted the French judicial system against the Scientologists, who could be forced to stop their activities in France if found guilty.

I wonder if they would have an easier time being accepted in Europe if they didn’t encourage new members to buy tens of thousands of Euros worth of “purification packs” and books.

On the other hand, France could avoid these silly lawsuits all together if some of its citizens would stop looking for religion in all the wrong places.
