scientology myths 2.0

About 99% of them are. Most of the scriptures were adapted or first released in books. Scientology books are available at major book stores worldwide as well as from Churches themselves.

Says religious scholar Jean E. Rosenfeld:

"All religions have origin myths, and all religions keep secrets from the uninitiated. ... Myths are symbolic expressions of existential truths; they are not literal accounts of historical events. Their truth — religious truth — is not subject to experimental verification. Religious truth sustains and organizes human societies and gives identity — and thus, sanity — to human beings. Expressing oneself religiously and symbolically is an essential ingredient of being human. Myth will always be with us, whether created by cosmologists, as the Big Bang theory, or by poets and prophets as alternative accounts of world creation."
