Scientology

I saw the episode of South Park about scientology, and it told a tale about a galactic dictator who plays a key role in the core beliefs of Scientology.
On the bottom of the screen it said THIS IS WHAT SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE
and i did some research, and it IS. hahahah
read this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu

this is the south park segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXTnR...%20scientology

wow
how do people buy into this crap

this doesnt belong in the religion forum because it is so funny

**.Socrates** · March 16, 2006, 09:15 PM

And that is why i hate Tom Cruise and that other guy.

"The Evil Lord Satan" is this weird winged guy that used to serve "god" in "heaven" floating on clouds and then he became all evil and stuff and now burns people as dictator in "hell"

THIS IS WHAT CHRISTIANS AND MUSLIMS ACTUALLY BELIEVE
and i did some research, and it IS. hahahah

I think this is WAAAYYYY more stupid than those, even though those are impossible

you have to give this guy some credit for orginiality, as he wrote this more than a decade before the Star Wars era began

Dude, are you serious? Is this really what scientology is?

**Skyhigh** · March 16, 2006, 09:30 PM

yes this is what scientology is
which is why it seems retarted that people, especially millionaire celebrities, willingly convert to this dumbass "religion"

**Saint-Germain** · March 16, 2006, 09:31 PM

Not all of it, but yes - they believe this. It is for that reason that I'm going to rename this thread to have a more neutral title and move it to the Ethos forum.

Why? Because THIS IS WHAT SOME SCIENTOLOGISTS ACTUALLY BELIEVE

**Harlanite** · March 16, 2006, 09:58 PM

Sounds like a very entertaining religion, except for the bit where you have to pay...

**Zacheria** · March 16, 2006, 10:19 PM

It's like Maynard James Keenan said "**** L. Ron Hubberd and **** all his clones".

**.Socrates** · March 16, 2006, 10:20 PM

I wish I could have invented Scientology.
Sure, i would have to accept false ideas for awhile, but it would be worth it.
I mean, look at how much money people are spending!

**Wild Bill Kelso** · March 16, 2006, 11:12 PM

Ok.. lets keep this a topic about Scientology, not necessarily making fun of it, but an actual serious discussion.

You know that they sue people who try to expose thier inner secrets?

Because I think you need to pay alot of money to get to know the secrets.
But please do correct me if I'm wrong on this.

IIRC, I think that this was censored in the U.K. Don't anger the weatlhy, they have lots of power...

I like this bit in the Wiki - Hubbard made his discoveries about Xenu in 1967/

A Marvel Comics villain called Xemnu the Titan featured in Journey into Mystery #62 (Nov, 1960) and #66 (Mar, 1961) as a prototype of The Hulk; Marvel widely reprinted these stories in early 1967 [13] [14]. The Xemnu tale features similar themes to Hubbard's Xenu story: an alien warlord, escape from prison, mass death, telepathy and mental possession of other bodies [15] [16]. A different Marvel villain called Zemu or Xemu appeared in Strange Tales #103 (Dec, 1962) [17] and Fantastic Four #158 (May, 1975) [18].

I wonder why some many got ****** when south park made "fun" of scientology when they werent actually making fun of it they were telling the truth. Probably because the leaders know how stupid the religion is and dont want anyone else to know.
I dont know how it is know, but before scientology before made new recruits take huge bank loans that they never could dream of paying back.

**Bwaho** · March 17, 2006, 04:43 AM

Tom Cruise is downright scary... I hate all these crazy sects.

What about religions? it's large scale sects.

edit: South park forgot to mention the hydrogen bombs that the evil lord xenu detonated in the volcanos of hawaii.

So scientologists got mad because south park made it seem less stupid. That makes as much sense as their religion :laughing:

So it was probably a money making scheme.

L Ron Hubbard is alleged to have said almost exactly that on a number of occasions...

"Around this time he was invited to address a science fiction group in Newark hosted by the writer, Sam Moskowitz. `Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous,' he told the meeting. `If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be start his own religion.'

Like I said, he was a smart man and knew how to make money quick.

@TB666- So they're making double the money? LAME.
