The new lead singer is a scientologist who supports rapists.

Damn. I might have enjoyed some new Linkin park but all this shit is so stupid. Who am I kidding I wouldn't have enjoyed it that much.

I just find it weird cause hasn't some of her songs been anti scientology?

According to BBC, "Armstrong has never publicly commented on her relationship with the church, but several of Dead Sara's lyrics suggest criticism and rejection of Scientology's teachings.”

To me it sounds like she grew up in the church, yes, but does not fall into the culture. She seems to have her own beliefs and values. Speaking as someone who was born in a church(not scientology) and has escaped, I gotta respect that.

Still, no idea what her relationship with the church is and I reserve the right to realize I was wrong.
