In the worst kind of way. "Worst" meaning "best".

Well, the GOP had no use for Birchite scum back then. Now they are fighting each other to swallow Koch brothers splooge.

Old-school heretic Scientologists ("Free Zoners") sometimes say that Scientology makes everyone pansexual, I don't know if that's close enough.

Sorry, the rattlesnake-in-the-mailbox people were Synanon, another therapy cult.

Even if you know all of Scientology's stupidity already, PLEASE watch Going Clear. You get to see, for example, Mike Rinder 2001 (Scientology spokesman and shill) compared to Mike Rinder 2015 (now Scientology critic, harrassed and smeared by his former Church). It really brings home what this cult did to real decent people - turned them into assholes who would tell any lie for the Great Leader, David Slappy McTinyfists Poison Dwarf Four Foot Thirteen Miscavige.

Also, you get to see L. Ron Hubbard's lack of dentistry. *shudder*

aw jeez- I'd actually typed out a quite nice reply to drazzin, only to find out he'd been ban hammered in the meantime

Possibly. These are the people who think L Ron Hubbard was a saintly genius but the bad guys took over Scientology and ruined it after he died, so they might believe anything.

My own paper published in the Medieval Journal of Medicine (MJM) shows that leeches have been tested on humans for safety and efficacy, and the results are encouraging.

For the leeches, you mean?

... I heard prison is a good place to start. I read it on the interwebz, so it must be true.

Anti-vaxxers need to understand that the Left isn't being intolerant when they tell them to go to Hell. Science has proven that the cleansing flames of the Lake of Fire also kills measles, mumps, and rubella.

Can some knowledgable person explain to me how homeopathy got from Philadelphia to India?

No snark, I'd like to know.

people who have a religious objection to being injected with toxic vaccines.

You know, I have never heard a single case of an adult being forced to get a vaccine they did not want.

What I HAVE heard of is people being legally barred from not giving their kids basic medical care because of their own personal beliefs.

A is wrong. B is not. B is not a case of a person's religious rights being violated because your religious rights do not extend to your kids.

They already have the same protection. Nobody can force them to get medical treatment they do not want unless they're proven not mentally sound.

Their kids, on the other hand, have a *right* to proven medical care no matter what their parents believe. THOSE rights are what desperately need protected.
