LOL Scientology
I felt like a rant today...and the subject of this rant: Scientology.
Now before I go into this any further, heres an explanation of Scientologists actually believe:
"It all began 75 million years ago. Back then there was a galactic federation of planets which was ruled over by the evil Lord Xenu. Xenu thought his galaxy was overpopulated and so he rounded up countless aliens from all different planets and then had those aliens frozen. The frozen alien bodies were loaded onto Xenu's galactic cruisers which looked like DC-8s except with rocket engines. The cruisers then took the frozen alien bodies to our planet Earth and dumped them into the volcanoes of Hawaii. The aliens were no longer frozen they were dead. The souls of those aliens lived on and all floated up toward the sky. But the evil Lord Xenu prepared for this. Xenu didnt want their souls to return. And so he built giant soul catchers in the sky. The souls were taken to a huge soul brain washing facility which Xenu had also built on Earth. There the souls were forced to watch days of brain washing material which tricked them into believing a false reality. Xenu then released the alien souls which roamed the Earth aimlessly in a fog of confusion. At the dawn of man, the souls finally found bodies that the can grab onto. They attached themselves to all mankind, which still to this day causes all our fears, our confusions and our problems."
PS Earth is called Teegeaak
And in an other version of this story, instead of dropping the aliens into a volcano...Xenu placed his captive people around the volcanoes of Earth then proceeded to drop H-bombs into those volcanoes.
Alright so theres the foundation of Scientology, straight from the mind of L.Ron Hubbard, a rather successful Science fiction writer, whom I am told has written fairly good novels. (A friend of mine ranted about how awesome Battlefield Earth is).
And also he's also the great prophet of the 20th century apparently. In 1952 he writes a self help book called Dianetics which eventually begets of the Church of Scientology. The story above was only revealed to advanced members of Scientology whom are at Operating Thetan level III or OT III, until former members eventually leaked the story of Xenu into the the public in 1972. (oh yeah and by the way those wayward alien souls whom were brainwashed by movies are called Thetans. and your Thetan level is the your spiritual state o_O)
And for a nominal fee....you can be enlightened to a better life....and to the space opera of Xenu
Now I'm a believer of Alien abductions, of government conspiracy and of a few things that some would laugh at or blow off. But goddamn I think Scientologists put me to shame. People actually believe in this crap, which is so obviously a scam that I can't understand how some can take it seriously. Not to mention the "great prophet" L. Ron Hubbard himself said in the 1940s not long before he pulled Scientology out of his ass that
"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion."
Christ! One may as well believe in the Sandworms of the yet to be discovered planet Arrakis and worship them as gods. Ya Hya Chouhada! All hail the mighty Shai-Halud tamed only by the Kwizatz Haderac, the Prophet Paul Muad Dib!
Arrakis, Dune, Desert Planet. The bringer of my salvation.
Anyways
Maybe people today, in desperate searches for answers will believe anything, even the musings of a dead Science fiction author who really only wanted to make money. But in all honesty Xenu? Thetans? Teegeeack? come on people. And I thought Christians had some flippy shit doctrines....
