Some more, slightly funny, craziness that I have found. I got interested in this after watching a YAAFM (You are a ****ing Moron) on New Grounds, and thought..."Man...There is NO WAY people can be this dumb." So I searched it and...wow...it's crazy.

First of all: The official site:

http://www.scientology.org/

Second of all: Pretty much "The Truth":

http://www.xenu.net/index.html

Basically, for those of you that are unfamiliar with them (I was too, but I started to research them and found out a lot about them). They believe in the teachings of a man named Ron L. Hubbard, who was an ex-science fiction writer turned religious prophet. Here's what he has to say (in my words) -

Some 75 million years ago (or so), there was an evil ruler named Xenu, who controlled all of the galaxy. In total, he controlled 76 planets in this "sector,", however, he had a problem: all of the planets were becoming overpopulated. To solve this, he kidnapped and froze 13.5 million aliens and transported them to Earth, landing them next to active volcanos. He dropped H-Bombs into the volcanos, causing them to erupt and kill all of the frozen aliens. However, to keep their spirits from escaping, he set up electrostatic fly-trap like things in our atmosphere, keeping them captive on Earth, wherupon he forced them to stay inside special cineplexes, watching special 3D movies of Christ, Mohammid, etc, brainwashing them so that they would be more easily controlled. Eventually, as humanity arrived, these beings latched onto us, thus causing us to believe in their "false" reality (aka our real reality).


Now, I'm not saying you shouldn't believe in this, even though I, personally, think it's insane. However...read up on their practices and such. Pay special notice to the "Sea Org".

yeah, scientology, one of the few cults creepier than the mormons and catholics.

you failed to mention how they have a bunch of very big name actors and such, like Tom Cruse, and John Travolta

[color=66ff00]I agree but don't even dare blaspheme the noodily overlord, our wheat-constituted saviour, the Flying spagetti monster.

your forgeting about thouse frik'n crazy Rigatonists.

[color=66ff00]The thing that gets me most about scientology is that it's so fantastically underhanded, you go onto the website and are asked to take a test which is quite long and obviously looking for a straightforward pattern. Even if you answer positively to all the questions they still tell you that you're 'broken' and need their help.

L.R.Hubbard is one of the most inspiring con-men I've ever seen. I think it's proof that you could get away with almost anything and make a buck.

The Wikipedia articles on Scientology are pretty good reads too.

In Hubbard's defense, I thought Battlefield Earth was a pretty cool movie.

I knew about it, but didn't know what it was about.

[ZylonBane]

You mean you didn't know it gives you force powers?

My understanding of that movie was that anyone not directly involved with its production (meaning the Scientologist propogandists who are responsible for that atrocity) thought it was absolutely horrid, from the script to pretty much everything else.  The only thing it may have had going for it - maybe - was its special effects, and since I never had the patience to see more than a few minutes of it I never saw any of those either.

On a somewhat related note, was that movie actually pulled by its publisher on the ground that it contained subliminal cultist propoganda?

Ok, now tell one about a parrot.
