Hi LE:

In the thread "Should WTS be destroyed?" you wrote:

> How about freedom of religion?

I'm a little surprised that you of all people would ask that question. I think Hassan said it best:

> "I am a strong civil libertarian, concerned about protecting personal liberty and defending the Constitution's guarantees of religious freedom. I fully support people's right to believe as they choose, no matter how bizarre or unorthodox their beliefs. If people want to believe that Mr. Moon is the messiah, that is their right. However- and this is a crucial point- people should be protected from processes that make them believe Mr. Moon is the Messiah."

If the WTS were free of mind control (which I think it couldn't survive without), I would have no problem with it. But as long as it takes away other people's freedom (not to mention their lives), it doesn't deserve its own.
