Do you abandon someone you love?

If your life becomes too difficult with someone who you say you love, is it "right" for you to walk out on/leave/separate that someone?

Why?/Why not?

What is Sciencetology? Why is it so Powerful?

I have read Wikpedia and even a few web-sites dedicated to it... but I still really do not understand what it really is... and why it is "POWERFUL".

My questioning is not I REPEAT NOT intended to hurt anyone who agrees/understands/follows this Relgion... but I am hoping that there might be some people out there, who are willing to spend the time and tell me (and I am sure countless others), an honest answer of what is Sciencetology is all about... in a digestible reading amount, I would be greatful.

I personally do not believe in "God" in the Christian sense (though I was more or less raised Catholic)... if that helps you "frame your answer".

Thank you,

For way too long, too many people have made too much wealth... from raping the planet of resources to breaking the backs of the poor and disadvantaged.

What I don't understand about those who have more than (in some shape or form) 10 million dollars (American)...is that they want more!! It is challenge to watch when they (the rich) do "give back", the media goes into a tizzy and flutters about then drools and attempts to get "the rest of us" all excited about it!! Are wealthy people really doing enough to change the world with their "pet projects"? It is not about time that the rich are to be asked to make a better future for the WORLD??

To make more of the world - a better place; I would suggest that the rich would have to pay "taxes" on these incredible riches. New world-wide organizations (that work differently than presently) would be required to distribute this wealth) rather than trusting countries governments to dole these (new) monies... but it could be done!

It is my belief, that if these "new-taxes" were to be gathered and used correctly - way more people that live in miserable parts of the planet would not have such a difficult time living a life now or in the (predicted difficult) future.
