Folks continue to be whipped up over the Church of Scientology, Tom Cruise and the topic of psychiatry. Enough so, in fact, that a group that refers to itself as Anonymous staged a protest on Sunday at the Scientology center in the county.

Don’t have any details other than what I’ve seen on a couple of blogs. The accounts I’ve seen say about 50 people showed up at the protest. I’m not that interested in the details. It was the phenomenon that grabbed me. These sites cite a movement known as “Project Chanology,” which is supposedly aimed at bringing down the Church of Scientology.

Fascinating.

One account is on the Tigasland blog here. It includes photos. Find another brief account (complete with some readers’ comments) on Gateway Skepticism, which describes itself as “the blog of The St. Louis Skeptical Society, which was founded on October 11, 2007 by a handful of physics graduate students in order to promote skepticism, science, and critical thinking.”

A Google search on “Project Chanology” brings up plenty of material, including this YouTube video from the St. Louis protest. And a search of Snopes.com turns up nothing.
