Over the weekend, Brisbane's Church of Scientology became the latest target of a viral trend that began in the United States just a few months ago โ€” the Scientology speed run.

Probably seemed like a good idea at the time. But perhaps not; the "Church" of Scientology has the same protection [and tax free status] of any other church.

That a great many people see Scientology as a ruthless cult which exploits its members matters not at all.

Dialed down just a bit, it seems to me "many people" simply do not see Scientology as a religion/church in the same way as say Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism or even Mormonism.. Consequently, many people don't revere or respect their spaces. They seem to think that gives them the right to raid/ trespass upon of those spaces. ==it doesn't. Those fools may find themselves in court. Apparently haven't yet learned to think abstractly or to understand that many acts can have serious consequences.
