When it comes to Scientology, few topics ignite as much and debate. From allegations of secrecy and financial exploitation to accusations of brainwashing and aggressive tactics, Scientology is often painted as the villain of modern religion.

How can a good God allow so much Evil in the World?
In the James Bond movie, Casino Royale, Bond’s employer, M, says to Bond, “arrogance and self-awareness seldom go hand-in-hand". This statement is true for atheists, especially when they challenge God’s existence. One question they often ask is, “How can a good God allow so much evil in the world?”. They ask this question as the set up for some sort of “Gotcha” moment. The problem here, is that they are lacking the self-awareness to realize that in their attempt to “get” the Christians they ask this question to, they are actually conceding the existence of God and are instead questioning his nature. After all, how can any kind of God “allow” anything if he doesn’t exist to begin with? How can God have a nature if he doesn’t exist? The question of “How can a good God allow evil?” is doubly fallacious. It is a Loaded Question being utilized as a Red Herring.

Redefining Beauty Standards and Embracing Diversity
Many individuals continue to suffer from low self-esteem and body confidence because of the idea of having a flawless body since society places immense value on having a flat stomach. This is further fueled by the multiple online suggestions on how to de-bloat. Beauty has increasingly become a definition of an individual's body shape and weight, rather than uniqueness. Body standards, which are socially created, are pushed forward in daily life, and they get amplified through social media. A "perfect" body shape is depicted through social media channels such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook using influencers and models. Posts that reflect the ideals of society's beauty are the most popular in society, either through a swimsuit photograph or even a lowly everyday photo.
