'xenu' and scientology

[shuu]

ok correct me if I'm wrong,
but when people talk about the truth behind Scientology being a belief that an evil alien warlord Xenu created humanity and so on, isn't this all based off the word of one guy who made an internet website about how he was walking down the street one day and just happened to stumble across a pamphlet containing all this information that is only supposed to be revealed to the highest level people in Scientology's? Everyone seems to have just taken his word for it. Why would all this information be organized into a convenient little pamphlet that was just tossed aside on the street one day?

Because the majority of religion fails at making sense. Scientology just happens to be one of these religions

because it's dirt and people like dirt on scientology right now. MilkAndInnards has the right idea, it's another religion

Scientology doesn't fail at making sense, it does this thing that I can't exactly explain wherein it makes so little sense that the only way people, when confronted with it, believe it because they can't even comprehend the logic behind it.
Tom Cruise (i know Tom Cruise is a crazy man, but he's scientology's flagship crazy man) is pretty much the spokesperson for scientology and he's four different kinds of insane. The teachings of scientology say that he can cure people's mental problems, the scientologists, using a hell of a whole lot of money that they no doubt get mainly from excercising mysteriously expensive tests of dubious veracity, have recently completed a center that will, that right will, give anyone who undergoes a full treatment at said center superhuman abilities. (think Daredevil with eyes, not Superman) John travolta's son, who is -by all reasonable estimates- retarded, is denied treatment for down's syndrome by his own parents because they believe it doesn't exist. What's an alien warlord or two to a people who believe this garbage.
Scientology takes things to a level that no other religion dares to(except the latter day saints) all other religions, when they talk about something that happened in the past, can say something at least marginally historically accurate, whereas the scientologists decided to boldly go where no crazy has gone before.

lol so true. I never knew they deny things like down syndrome. Ive seen a video with tom cruise saying he's against phycology, and the scientologist machine is a much better alternative. I dont really agree with phycology either but atleast theres research going into it. Not some fucking metal rod you grab and its supposed to tell you how happy you are.

They all deny the alien stories, but without a crazy creation story it wouldnt be a true religion. The whole secrecy of the fucking thing is nuts, Atleast they havent got tax exempt status. The crazy classic religions dont even deserve that. there fucked too.

the thing about the super power is that you're on the right track with "think daredevil, not superman" I just want to expand on that: from what i've read in dianetics, it's more like that black kid who was blind but he could walk around and tell if there was something around him and what was too [remember ppl posted it on the IFIOTW forum on youtube]. that kind of sensory acuity but with all 5 of your senses. team that with good agility, and there you go: it's does make kind of like daredevil.

Can you prove Scientology wrong? Can you prove the flying Spaghetti Monster wrong? Can you prove Christianity wrong?

Nope.

As far as I can tell, Scientology is just as valid as every other religion. They make outrageous claims that are impossible to prove either way.

Until you do some in-depth research into scientology, you have no idea how fucked up and scary they truly are.

They have a display called Psychiatry: An Industry Of Death, and they think the only solution for Psychiatry is the total worldwide eradication of psychiatry as a whole.

When i went to the US for a holiday i stopped by their HQ with my camera....scariest fucking holiday ever ill just say that.

Im sure all religions at the times they were created seemed funny and weird but as time goes on we see more and more people take it seriously until it becomes generally accepted.......we are just at the hilarious beginning.
