They DO believe in my God, but the DON'T believe in my Savior.  They trust in
some guy who died and DIDN'T rise in three days.  He did come the the
realization, however, that most of the practices of Christianity at THAT TIME
just didn't work.  It's good that he could see that.  But I believe he was
confused when he decided to just create a whole new religion.

Maybe some other Christian who has studied Scientology should tackle this
question, for I have not studied that religion enough to answer using
references to what exactly they believe.

If you aren't for Him, then you are against Him.  Simple "hot or cold" thinking;
no lukewarm allowed.  Is that so hard to understand?
