LOL... check out Scientology on Wikipedia
 

am I missing the joke?

I find it so hard to believe that people can buy into this shit and not start laughing when someone explains the origins of the religion.

DC-8's brought the body thetans to earth 75 million years ago and then blew them up so their spirits could be embodied in the living? Wow.

yeah it's hilarious. Just like Christianity.

:ticking

I'm confused ?

The basis of Scientology in two words: tax exempt.

Well, I wouldnt say Christianity is as far fetched. Not saying the origins of Christianity aren't suspect as well, but Scientology is off the fucking chart.

I always ask someone to explain what the difference between Christianity, Scientology and Mormonism really is. All are made up some just more recently than others - and all are completely fucking nuts.

Christians laugh at Mormons, in reality they aren't far off.

In other religions apparently some guy has turned water into wine and another guy split the sea in half to walk in the middle.

Personaly I think scientology, christianity, budhism and whatever is all bullshit.

To each his own though....

You never read the bible did you? Off the fucking chart is an understatement.

Yes, The entire thing was based of a bar bet........But they are making mad cash.

No, I'm not defending the legitimacy of Christianity, I don't buy it either. I'm just saying that saying that our lives are determined by the experiences of an alien race that was brought to earth on spacecrafts that resemble DC-8's to be placed on all of the volcanoes on earth and then blown up by hydrogen bombs so their spirits can be released has to be the craziest thing I've ever heard.

I'm the lone black sheep in my immediate family that doesn't buy into christianity, so I've heard the stories of the bible, and I agree, are rediculous, but nowhere near the level of Scientology.

Virgin Mary goes straight to heaven (without dying = sort of space travel )

I believe some of your presidential hopefuls have these beliefs...

God making a woman out of Adam's rib sounds better to you? :upsidedow

Well, she got prego without getting nailed either, so it's already a little fishy.

From what I can recall though, about anyone going to heaven, it didn't have any kind of thought of space travel of any kind though. More just a place your spirit goes once you die, nothing takes you there, just kind of end up there. That's what I got from all of it, but I could be wrong.

I stopped paying attention in church once I figured out it was all bullshit.

Yes, human cloning does sound more reasonable than the belief's of Scientology.

... this can be said for every religion people believe in.

i dont think they are actually referring to DC-8's but rather space ships that look like DC-8s... still a bunch of sillyness imo

Edit: Stupid example.

I agree but Buddhism isn't a religion. There is no god, therefore no worship.

anyone been to the Scientology center? It's worth the free visit and have them try to brain wash you into joining. Anyone in the LA area should go in and talk to them about what it's all about.

Anybody who follows a religion that was created by a science fiction (key word here is "fiction") writer is a fucking retard.

That simple.

The Son of the one and only God is born to a Jewish girl who never had sex after an angel appeared to her and told her what would happen. This half man/half God (yes, Jesus) walked around in the hinterland of Judea for a while healing lepers, expelling demons from people, turning water into wine, multiplying food, walking on water and raising the dead. After a while he ventured into the big city where he was sold out for a few shekels of silver by one of those who had seen many of his miracles performed in person (the Son of GOD, mind you!).

He was promptly nailed to a cross and buried in a cave where his body miraculously disappeared (kinda like Obi Wan in "Star Wars: A New Hope"). But wait! What really happened is that his soul departed his body and went up to be with his father - well, after appearing on Earth to a few more people anyway. Now he sits on the throne in Heaven next to his father who created the Universe in just six days. Of course he votes Republican and when not busy he speaks to George Bush and gives him instructions on how to run things down here.

a religion does not need a god(s).

all religions are fiction and part myth.

When will you motherfuckers learn? TOM CRUISE IS RIGHT.

Hahahaha I went to church of Scientology in san francisco, it was creepy.

Holy shit. Is that what Scientologists believe? :1orglaugh :helpme

Psychiatry and psychology are destructive and abusive practices.

I love that part, not a big fan of psychology and all that crap to get thru problems, but i totally understand why scientologists can hate it.. because they can all pick apart scientologists with the reasons "WHY", while the scientologists just sit there going.. "I KNOW" "I KNOW" know ya don't, you are tripping fool!

I'm looking for an all in one package.

in a nutshell yes. the galactic warlord Xenu captured evil spirits and flew them over to earth, where he stuffed them in volcanoes near populated areas and blew them the fuck up, at which point they took up residence in the life forms surrounding said volcanoes (the humans!)

apparently modern scientologists don't tend to believe this anymore and the active support of this story was abolished in the late 80's. BUT THIS WAS L RON'S ORIGINAL STORY! Apparently it's cool to believe their cult/religion is still right adn all knowing even after the abolish the premise behind the entire belief system as a sham. keep in mind that before he was a successful prophet of xenu, he was a failed science fiction writer and inventor. the e-meter they use to read your thetan levels or whatever the fuck it is, well apparently l. ron applied for a patent for it when he stated it was a device for curing cancer or some ridiculous shit. the guy was schizophrenic, and many people criticized him as dangerous, schizo, and out to manipulate those in a weak mental state in the early days of scientology. which makes perfect sense as to why scientology sees psychiatry as an enemy and something to be discredited.

What he said

and who the fuck cares??? I missed the joke... really

Scientology is a joke.

From a blog watchtvsitcoms.blogspot.com

scientology is the joke

99% of religions are full bullshit.

The only one half real is buddhism as it does not force anything on its believers. True enlightenment is how the holder persueds or it something like that lol.

That pretty much sums it up.

:thumbsup

Look up Operation Snow White.
The shit has to beread to be believed...

Jesus, 5000 operatives infiltrating the government to steal documents that cast a bad light on Scientology and L Ron Hubbard. Wow, that's like some shit from Fight Club.

You think that's funny you should watch the South Park episode on it.

:P

Oh I saw that. I think I was crying in a few spots, especially when they flashed across the bottom of the screen, "This is what Scientologist's actually believe". Oh man, I was dying.

how do you dump bodies into a volcano in hawaii 75 million years ago... when hawaii didn't exist 75 million years ago?

EDITED: Call the Ministry of Desinformation.

There weren't even humans around in 75 million years ago, the whole thing is a crock of shit. Maybe the evil spirit thetans got trapped in the dinosaur bodies and that's why they were so agro.

Damn thetans, getting our nice gentle dinosaurs all riled up and extinct!! (Damn, we need an angry fist emoticon, would be perfect here)

Haha yup. Then Isaac Hayes who plays chef quit after that episode.



Then when they "brought" him back they used his old vocal files from previous episodes and ripped the piss out of him. Was funny .... :thumbsup
