Ahhh Scientology. Your post gave me a good chuckle, I know quite a lot regarding Scientology and this list was pretty funny! Sure is a bizarre religion but which religion isn’t?

JD- Is this the only religion involving "aliens"? I don't know how intelligent people can buy into this! It would be like believing that Superman and the Incredible Hulk are real!

It is not the only religion believing in aliens, check out the Raeliens sometime. To be honest I find a belief in aliens no more bizarre than the belief in ghosts and angels. Intelligent people can get suckered into it through fierce proselytizing and they are never made aware of the bizarre higher levels of Scientology that incorporates Xenu and other highly bizarre accounts. All religion is highly bizarre we only find Scientology more so than Christianity because we are not as familiar with it.

JD - You are right. It is all quite bizarre. An invisible, all -powerful sky daddy who creates a son for himself just to torture, mutilate and kill him...then brings him back to life is just as bizarre as aliens living in volcanoes.

Stardust said...

careful! These whackadoos, uh, I mean completely sensible alien worshippers, are very sue-happy! ;)

Lya - well it IS all about money in this "delusion"...so suing would be expected from these bastards of greed.

I hsve been looking around for some scientology lion feed and none of these scientologist blogs allow comments. At least most xian blogs allow debates even though they can get really nasty!

I found this at Wikipedia:
"Scientology has introduced a special software package for its members to protect them from "unapproved" material about the church. The software is designed to completely block out the newsgroup a.r.s, various anti-Scientology web sites, and all references to various critics of Scientology. This software package was derided by critics, who accused the organization of censorship and called the program "Scieno Sitter", after the censorware net-filter program Cyber Sitter."

These people are really creepy!
