I was talking generally, not about Scientology in particular.
As I noted, Scientology is such a toweringly bad idea that it makes other bad ideas seem relatively benign. There are lots of cultish groups that are nowhere near as bad as Scientology, but that doesn't make them just fine. Beware of this error. (Useful way to avoid it: don't use Scientology as a comparison in your reasoning.)
But that error isn't nearly as bad as accidentally violating containment procedures when handling virulent pathogens, so really, what is there to worry about?

The forbidden topic, obviously.
