Resolved: Scientology is a proper religion based on conventional definition of what a religion is.

Let's go over main points. First off, the pro tries to shove my entire argument under the rug by says that I did not provide a definition of criminal cult. A criminal cult is obvious, just use the definition my opponent brought up of a cult, and add the words "broke the law. " Easy and simple. Trying to discredit an entire case on something that small, is grasping at straws. Also, he said I had no evidence, but go back to my round 2 speech evidence, which he dropped, which shows the criminal cult actions. Addressing the bad evidence argument. (Theory Incoming) Debate is a way to find the truth, and as such I feel I should address this. He never addresses the argument that scientolgy is a criminal cult, and just takes one of my two sources as says that it is bad. One source was wrong, and this is what my opponents argues as a Pro voting issue. That would take away form the education of this debate. In doing this he never addresses the principle behind it, which allows for the Pro not to have to prove his side, which is always wrong in debate. He also dropped the reasoning from my C1, which makes this point invalid. I have proven through my evidence in round 2 of this same thing. In conclution, He only attacked one of two sources, so the other source stands dropped. . http://www.scientology-cult.com... As my opponent brought up three new sources in his last speech, I feel as if it is alright for me to bring up one piece of evidence (not a new argument) as well. Scientology is a Criminal Cult "Under the supervision of Hubbard's third wife, Mary Sue, Scientologists reportedly infiltrated the Department of Justice and the IRS to uncover information on Hubbard. In Watergate"like fashion, they broke into offices at night and copied mountains of documents. At one point, an electronic bugging device was hidden inside an IRS conference room the day before a meeting about Scientology. Critics say those actions fell under a church doctrine that Hubbard had called the Fair Game policy. Hubbard wrote that church enemies may "be deprived of property or injured by any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the Scientologist. [They] may be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed. " The apparent conspiracy was uncovered in 1977, and Mrs. Hubbard and ten others were eventually sentenced to prison. " . http://www.cesnur.org... This is irrefutable evidence of criminal action being taken in the name of Scientology with no repercussions set out by the official church. If my opponent finds flaw with this piece of evidence, he can comment about it. As Scientology is a criminal cult, and used criminal means to get its tax exempt tax status. That violates the suitable/proper part of the resolution, and as such is the main neg voting issue. By definition I have show that a suitable religion cannot be criminal. At the point where Scientology endorses or engages in criminal activity to meet it's ends, it violates the proposed criterion set forth by both sides of the debate, the suitable one. Lastly, disregard my opponents point about Independent Scientology because he never 1, addresses my round 3 arguments at all, or 2, show how Independent Scientology meets the criterion he sets himself, or 3, addresses how Independent Scientology is Scientology. He would have had to make that distinction in his resolution if he wanted the debate to be about that. In conclusion, the con has proven, with evidence, how the official church is a criminal cult and or engaged in criminal activity, and as such cannot be a proper religion. Also, Independent Scientology has been a side line issue for today's debate. I have show 3 reason why Independent Scientology is either not a proper religion or not what the resolution is advocating for.
