Amos, no matter what kind of group, religious or otherwise, crime is wrong. Of course religions through history have done horrible deeds. That doesn't mean we should ignore destructive acts today. Whether it is pedophilia, financial con schemes, whatever... religious groups, old ones and new, do not have the right to be destructive just because they are religions. Many Scient. members have no clue about what CoS is really about because they were carefully indoctrinated to believe that anyone who has anything critical to say is an enemy. The members are generally shielded from hearing the truth as part of the programming.
