Scientology versus Kabbalah: which celebrity religion (cult?) is for you?
Kidding aside, never trust any religion -- or any religious figure -- which claims to make all the world's problems disappear. That way lies madness: if you convert, and then find yourself fighting against all the troubles that humankind falls prey to, it becomes "your fault" for not believing/praying/paying enough or living a holy enough lifestyle.
Christ never said "follow me and things will be easy"; Christ said "take up your cross and follow me."

The Exorcist is not the scariest movie I've ever seen. Maybe because after three kids I am totally unfazed by projectile vomiting.
