Church of Scientology

ScientologyEarly in his research into the human mind and spirit, author, humanitarian and Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard emphasized that spiritual freedom and enlightenment were all but unattainable goals to individuals denied their most fundamental human rights.
Accordingly, he wrote the Code of a Scientologist, calling on all members of the religion to dedicate themselves “to support true humanitarian endeavors in the fields of human rights.” In doing so, he laid the groundwork for what has become a global movement of advocates for the human rights of all people, regardless of their social condition, ethnicity or religious affiliation.

    Supporting Global Human Rights Awareness

    by Church of Scientology International

    **

    We are confronted daily with news of ethnic conflicts, inhumane practices, civil unrest and war.

    The media is filled with stories of human rights violations—from domestic violence and school bullying to corruption and poverty and government-sanctioned discrimination. All the while, a majority of the world’s population does not even know what human rights are and that they are entitled to them.

    **

    With the support of the Church of Scientology, multimedia human rights materials educate and raise awareness, reaching more than 100 million individuals worldwide each year.

    The United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights became the specific educational focus of the program after surveys showed that less than 10 percent of the population knew of the existence of the Declaration and even fewer could name more than one or two of the 30 basic rights articulated in the document.

    The Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR) is a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is to “eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections.” It has been described by critics as a Scientology front group that campaigns against psychiatry and psychiatrists. It was established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and psychiatrist Thomas Szasz, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.

    The organization holds that mental illness is not a medical disease and that the use of psychiatric medication is a destructive and fraudulent practice. The organization links psychiatry or psychiatrists to school shootings, eugenics, and terrorism.

    今の社会で、人権は善であり、また正義だ。

    人権をその中心に掲げることでサイエントロジーも善であり正義ということになる。

    そういう計算があるのかどうかはわからないが、サイエントロジーはさまざまな人権活動を行い、世界人権宣言の守り神のようなポーズをとり続ける。

    ところが、サイエントロジーは、人権を自分たちに都合のいいように使う。人権を掲げ、心理学や心理分析を否定する。

    人権を不変的なものであり絶対善であるとする現代社会を嘲笑うかのように、サイエントロジーは人権を手玉に取り、利用し尽くす。

    100年前であれば、サイエントロジーはキリスト教を利用しただろうにと考えたとき、ああ、人権は、キリスト教の代わりに、善と正義の地位を得たのだと気付く。
