It is interesting to note how many different religions there are, it must be quite confusing for people.  One fun thing that beliefnet.com has is a Belief-O-Matic quiz.  Now, I think it depends who worked out the questions, but the results can be interesting too.  When you get your results you are given a link to the religions that your answers relate to.  Some people talk about it on their blogs:

           I am a Pariah

       Davblog

       Andyandlizette

       Robson Ryan's Rants

       The Vengeful Cynic
   

      So thought I'd show you how it goes.  
      Here are some examples of the pages that Beliefnet offer: 

Freedom Magazine is produced by the various Churches of Scientology around the world, including the Church of Scientology International.

                                                               

Along with many other concerned non-profit organizations, the Church of Scientology International works intently on solving the problem of drugs that destroys lives, families and societies.

As with any organization, there is a membership organization that the Churches of Scientology support.

There are different levels of support and participation, more information is here Membership in the Association

Also, anyone who is in agreement with the Aims of Scientology, even if he does not attend a Church of Scientology or participate in its religious services may, support the Association.  

There is more information on this new web site about the International Association of Scientologists

Again, it lists out the statuses and goes more in to the details of the purpose of the Association.

         

Okay, so we have talked about the subject, the religion and now I would like to tell you about the people.

Moving right along, from March talking about Australia, here we are in June and now I want to talk about the Caribbean.

There are a lot of beautiful yachts on the sea, but here a couple that I felt worth talking about.

Firstly, there is an elegant charter yacht, here is some info on it"

"With Freewinds Yacht Charter you have the freedom to discover the mystical magic of the Cornish Coast from the Cornish West Indies (Isle of Scilly) to the jewel of the Helford; a haven by Royal Charter. Other islands near or far may interest you, if so, please give Freewinds the opportunity to supply the service."

And the links to this one are

As the internet is in fact VERY international, that is anyone from any where can "log on" and surf websites from around the world, it does not really matter what corner -- part of the world they are searching from. That is why I thought I would add some resources on the Church of Scientology that -- while by far not all -- most people will be able to understand. Here you go "What is Scientology?" in 14 languages:
What is it Scientology? | Hvad er Scientologi? | Was ist Scientology? | Wat is Scientology? | Que es Cienciologia? | Qu'est-ce que la Scientologie? | Che cos’č Scientology? | Japanese What is it Scientology? | Mi a Szcientológia? | Hva er Scientologi? | Vad är Scientologi? | Σαηεντολογίας | Саентология | כנסיית הסיינטולוגיה

Developed by L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology is a religion that offers a precise path leading to a complete and certain understanding of one’s true spiritual nature and of one’s relationship with self, family, groups, mankind, all life forms, the material universe, the spiritual universe and the Supreme Being, or infinity.

Scientology addresses the spirit — not simply the body or mind — and believes that man is far more than a product of his environment, or his genes.

Scientology comprises a body of knowledge which extends from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these are:

Man is an immortal spiritual being.

His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime.

His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized.

Scientology further holds man to be basically good, and that his spiritual salvation depends upon himself and his fellows and his attainment of brotherhood with the universe.

Scientology is not a dogmatic religion in which one is asked to believe anything on faith. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology works by applying its principles and observing or experiencing the results.

The ultimate goal of Scientology is true spiritual enlightenment and freedom for the individual.
