Scientology started as a bet, that L. Ron Hubbard made one day in a bar, that he could start a religion. So, from a wacky religion, comes the announcement that they have a "Christ". Who is that Christ? According to the Church of Scientology, it is Tom Cruise.

Just one word here. Sheesh.

He must have paid enough money into Scientology to reach the Christ level.

I don't see how believing Tom Cruise is the 'Christ' is any more wacky than believing Jesus is. People believing things without any evidence whatsoever is not new, but I suppose Scientology is one example of it.
 
I thought Christ was taller.

Its called faith, and you're right, it is no more wacky. But don't ruin our fun in pointing out how wacky it is (Thus, all religion.)
 
What to expect from the hollyweird types.......
 
Cruise is Christ? Hell...he isn't even close enough to perfect to fly an F16 well enough to keep his RIO, Goose, from getting killed...


BTW...Top Gun was his last and only good movie.

Scientology has nothing to do with "faith". Its a pyramid organisation using various mafia methods to achieve power. It was invented by a wanted mad man, who lived on a freaking boat to avoid the law. Its just sad that it got "religion" slap on it in the US and now is untouchable there.. thankfully it aint in Europe.

Obviously you're not familiar with the spiritual side of scientology. You should familiarize yourself with our lord Xenu and the souls of ancient civilizations being set free from the volcano.

Don't be too hard on them. Their **cough** religion **cough** is not any more ridiculous than someone who worships a piece of string cheese, so give them a break.

Religious freedom - Where would be be without it? Bored, that's what. :rofl
 
Fine, hand me the nails and I'll help with the crucifixtion.
 
The dude who jumped on Oprahs couch is Christ?...What? I'm all for people having whatever freaky-dickey religion they want but wait. What?
 
I'm sitting right now guarding a hotel literally 1.2 miles away from their downtown headquarters.

I see them in huge flocks dressed all the same when I stop by the starbucks. They never tip.

It's scary man. They have this huge hotel, rows and rows of rooms about 20 stories high, all filled with sleeping scientologists. It's like barracks or something.

Organization wise they could do some scary stuff if they wanted to.

They have people that speak every language, so one of my japanese friends got suckered into meeting with one of them. They tried to tell her that she was depressed and needed treatment, then wouldn't stop calling her for weeks.

You know, I'm pretty mellow. But I dedicate part of my time to exposing scientology for what it is. An organization, not a religion, based on the rantings of a failed science fiction writer, who decided, on a bet and to make money, to create a so-called-religion, that preys on people, practices unlicensed psychotherapy, encourages people to not take needed medication, and will harass and sue anyone that disagrees or stands up to them. They are the slimiest organization on the planet, and need to be eliminated.

Gee, that felt good. :mrgreen:

They actually used to have some influence here in clearwater until TheStPetersburgTimes (liberal though they may be) exposed a great deal of their shadier stuff, such as that woman dying of malnutrition in a locked room when she tried to leave the cult.

They used to have police officers and local officials on their side too, but not anymore.

The Lisa McPhearson case...I've read a lot about it.

I'm not one to advocate violence...unless it's used on terrorists...but these guys are close enough. Bombs and Napalm and all that other kablowie stuff aways. They had a chapter in L.A. and I was pretty cool with it until I found out about the Xenu/Xemu story from a friend of mine. People actually pay $50,000 for some book that supposedly tells them how to get closer to Xenu.

Want to know what a Theta is? According to Scientology, it is the spirit of an alien being, and I don't mean the illegal kind that cross the border. The reason that people have trouble in their lives, according to the Scientologists, is because the spirits of these aliens are possessing their bodies and minds.

With such a whacked-out theory, which makes no sense whatsoever, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that people who join the Church of Scientology belong in a padded cell.

For those considering joining the Church of Scientology, there is a much better church you can join, and if you pay them about $35.00, you can be one of their ordained ministers. I am speaking, of course, about the Church of the Subgenius. Sure, not a real church, but they do have something that the Scientologists don't - About 1,000 times the credibility. LOL.

Bah, you guys don’t like Scientology just because it’s still in its infancy. Give it a few centuries, and then tell me what you think about it.

All they need is some convenient mistranslations in history texts to make it sound like Cruise’s movies were real, a Dark Age or two (Thank you, Reagan and Bushanomics!) where the Church of Scientology can use their Hollywood $$$ to consolidate a stranglehold on the centers of knowledge and learning, and some Christian-style persecution of heretics and non-believers.


Me? I can’t wait until our Lord and Savior, Jebus Cruise, dies for all of our sins and helps us to become one with Xena.

Sorry, but the Moonies have a big lead on the Scientologists at this time. Rev. Moon already got a coronation in Washington, which was attended by some notable Democrats and Republicans, and they are also ahead in developing their own media network, by virtue of their ownership of the Washington Times, along with its sister publication, Insight Magazine, whose stories are gaining circulation due to being parroted by FOX News.

I would say that the Scientologists have their work cut out for them.
