As an atheist, how do you feel about the recent Scientology mass advertising campaign?
Posted Saturday, November 14, 2009 by admin
I’m actually not that sure if it is a ‘mass advertising campaign’ or just their usual advertising level; I’ve just some Scientology ads on Youtube and I was wondering what other atheists felt about them. I know Christians don’t like them but I put that down to the same reaction that a used car salesman would have if another used car salesman set up business in his town. But as an atheist, does it anger you? Especially considering, from what I saw of the ads, they seemed to be targeting adolescents going through that awkward experimental, personality development stage so many of us go through? Does it remind you of vultures circling a battlefield, waiting for unguarded corpses to defile?
frightening and I’m not just speaking as an atheist, but as a human being.
It reminds of stupidity.
How anyone could so idiotic as to buy into that, I have no idea.
I haven’t seen any.
No more annoying than all of the Christian commercials on television.
I noticed that ! I saw Scientology ads everywhere.
well we almost completely abolished Scientology, only the ignorant would join.
It makes me wanna howl at the moon in despair.
there is a sucker born every minute………………..
It doesn’t bother me. Probably because I don’t watch TV in the first place. I also don’t happen to have the itchy trigger finger when it comes to Scientology, which most other people seem to have. If people want to give their life saving’s away to some organization, that’s their own ignorant prerogative.
I seen a website that i guess was funded by scientology but it had nothing about scientology on it, it was just a bunch of stuff for kids about how to live a good life and stuff.
It really was a positive message and i had nothing against it.

it reminds me that anyone will believe anything these days….anything
It’s a bunch of meaningless platitudes.
I hadn’t seen any Scientology, but I’ve seen a boat load of LDS.
Have you seen the onee where it’s like an IM conversation? The tagline: “Join the conversation”
Hmmm tempting
Im a Christian and Ex Atheist and I also think Scientology is (Stupid)Silly.You are either on Gods side or your own.
Evolutionist Ideas+Bible Ideas =Don’t work they contridict .

Scientology is for crazy people who don’t know who’s side they are on.
Scientology ads specifically don’t bother me. We already have loads of religious advertising and content. One is just as silly as the next.
A religion targeting the most impressionable?!? Heresy! Who would of thought. Like being exposed to a god from the moment of birth? Newspaper ads, billboards, tv, radio, door to door, Christianity, Scientology, global warming hysteria, it’s all the same.
Hmm, I didn’t notice — didn’t watch a single Scientologist ad on You Tube or anywhere else. I guess I’m not their target demographic?
Gullible people are going to fall for all sorts of nonsense. If the scientologists don’t get ‘em, the mormons or JWs will, or the evangelicals. It’s all the same, nonsense with no evidence to support it, ******* away your time, money, and intelligence.
The best we can do is educate youth with good critical thinking skills so they can make rational decisions, instead of being ignorant enough to believe any of this religious nonsense.
Peace.
I think your comparison to vultures sums it up perfectly.
