"IRS is very poorly equipped to make a distinction between what is a religion and what is not." ― Lawrence Wright Topic(s): Jealousy More From Lawrence Wright "There are many countries where you can only believe more or you can believe less. But in the United States we have this incredible smorgasbord, and it really interests me why people are drawn to one faith rather than another, especially to a system of belief that to an outsider seems absurd or dangerous." "People often pulled into Scientology want to address personal problems in their life, and Scientology says we have technology that addresses these kinds of problems. Just focusing on the problems and trying to remedy them can be helpful." "Scientology is probably the most stigmatized religion in America already." More In Jealousy "A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity."― Robert A. Heinlein "Jealousy is the fear or apprehension of superiority: envy our uneasiness under it."― William Shenstone "Jealousy is the fear of comparison."― Max Frisch
