I was watching an episode of South Park last night (could be an old one) and they discussed some of the more, um, interesting doctrines of Scientology, involving spaceships, alien souls, and intergalactic empires. I thought it was just a joke until I read up on this stuff on wikipedia. Apparently it is all true. So, if there are any Scientologists in the house, I was wondering if you could explain this stuff a little bit. I'm not going to make fun of you, I just want to clearly understand this religion.
a year before he founded scientology, L. Ron Hubbard once said the easiest way to make money is to start a religion.
Lite: Man we've been looking for this little red devil for a long time. Just act natural. Nobody knows if it’s your car or somebody elses car. Lite: Now you work with that. You give it a try. All right? Lite: Let me give you a hand we don’t have a whole year to find it boy. Otto: Got it. They slimjim the car and get in Lite: Lets get out of here. Put your seat belt on. Lite: Put your seat belt on boy! I don't ride with anybody unless they wear their seatbelt. It's one of my rules. Otto, going through Lite's briefcase, picks up gun. Lite: Put that damn gun down boy. It ain't no toy. ****. Lite: I walk into someone's place of work. They **** scared. They know I'm not a cop. They think I've come to kill 'em and I would. I'd kill anybody who crosses me. You know what I mean? Lite: Do you like music? Otto: Sure. Lite: In that case you're going love this. Lite puts cassette in player. Lite's Theme starts playing. Lite: I was into these dudes before anybody. Partied with them all the time. Asked me to be their manager. I called bull**** on that. Managing a pop group hey that ain't no job for no man. Otto sees boxes wrapped in ribbons in back seat and hands one to Lite who throws it out window. A car runs over box and we see that it is full of money. Otto continues throwing boxes out of the window. Lite: You read that book I gave you? Otto: What book? Lite: Dioretix. Science of matter over mind. Otto: Unh uhg Lite: You'd better read it and quick. That book will change your life. Found it in a Maseratti in Beverly Hills. You know what I mean?
Any so called religion/church that makes you pay them money first before they teach is not a religion at all. It is a business.
I found the illustrated guide to scientology to be particularly helpful. At least you'll get some good laughs.. http://www.xenu.net/archive/scientology_illustrated/
ive always heard that he made a bet w/ another writer that he could start up a religion based on a sci-fi novel. guess he won. wasnt he a follower of alister crowley too?
That was the newest episode and it was hilarious. "We're not coming out of the closeeet...so you can just go awaaay" fun fact, isaac hayes, aka Chef, is a scientologist.
In one day I've read the post where you quoted the intro to Sweat Loaf, and this sweet scene from Repo Man. You are my new hero.
Is it Chinese Pasta or Italian Pasta I'm sorry . .that was a stupid question you said Spaghetti . . so it is obviously Italian What was I thinking . . . Rocket River On the real . . i try to be open minded . .but somethings are harder than others
Just an FYI: Scientology has used numerous legal shennigans to take down websites critical or even informative of their cult. They're a bunch of loonies, but I doubt clutch wants to deal with any legal issues.
That's a wierd reaction, do you mean to say Christian History? Or Christian Theology? I never could get past all that love your neighbor and love your God crap without hurling a few chunks myself...
