Scientology and religon....talk about antonyms

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

I agree. Scientology is not like normal religions. Scientologist believe in some weird stuff. I bet they don't even believe Jesus walked on water or that Jonah was swallowed by a whale and survived! Those scientologist probably even believe we evolved from <gulp> apes!

My apologies to those who belong to REAL religions (Christianity, of course, excluding the Mormon and Catholic cults). What was I thinking?

Scientology made Tom Cruise divorce Nicole Kidman. Woot, she's single. Crap, she has kids.

 

[habib89]

hahaha.. real religions... that's funny

 

[jumblies]

CS, you should take your soapbox over to OT and stand at the back of the line. This is not a hotdeal

<Scientology made Tom Cruise divorce Nicole Kidman. Woot, she's single. Crap, she has kids. >

Religion is funny. It gets blamed for everything, and it gets credit for everything. A bunch of silly notions we can point our fingers to to suit our personal desires for control over others. An Opiate of the People.


But back on topic. Who taking the free tickets?

 

[mrVW]

Free tickets to a brainwashing session intended to get you to hand over all your money

I think that Rufus in &quot;Dogma&quot; said it best.

&quot;The worst thing you can do is take a good idea, and make a belief structure out of it.&quot;

I'm paraphrasing him, but it's true. There are some good ideas behind religion, namely treating others as you want to be treated, but when you start getting into rituals and sacraments ... well, it gets a little out of hand.

When wars break out over which religion is right, it's time to step back and really evaluate.

I know these comments are going to piss some people off, but so be it. Jesus is a righteous guy, and I'd like to be more like him. But I don't need to worship him, and spend an hour one day a week praising him. Do it through your actions. That's my idea.

 

[fargus]

Don't go. They'll probably make you sit through Church Member John Travolta's latest stinker, &quot;Battlefield Earth&quot;.

 

[LevcoS]

I guess I tend to question the idea of joining any religion founded on a bet or a dare...

Ben Franklin said it best - &quot;All thinking men are atheists.&quot; I think that's why most of us are very religious... wait a minute.

Can I pricematch Scientology at Staples? OfficeMax has this item for $Free Will (sku #365343). Plus, OfficeMax is throwing in Buddhism after MIR! If I could just pricematch this baby at Staples, I'll get a $10 off $25 coupon, free shipping, and another free religion! Soon, I'll be stocking up on Battlefield Earth DVDs like there's no tomorrow! Woo-hoo!!

So this is the &quot;I am so smart -- SMRT&quot; thread?

&quot;With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil -- that takes religion&quot; -- Steven Weinberg

[MrHans]

CentralScrutinizer,
Could you tell me what kind of paper the tickets are made from? It needs to be soft kind of paper, as I'm running out of toilet paper. Do those tickets come in a roll by chance? TIA

You skeptics are obviously blinded by an excess of body thetans.

I am OT, and therefore know the truth: we were all blown out of a volcano 53million years ago during a nuclear explosion masterminded by Xenu.

Don't make me pull out my e-meter to prove it!

 

[MrHans]

I'll trade you a bucket of prop wash for an e-meter.
And actually it was 75, not 53 million years ago that that happened. Get it straight! How much auditting have you done?

 

[larrymoencurly]

Don't ever reveal your real identity to them unless you intend to join because this is a very aggressive and litigious organization, and one practical joke is filling out a Scientology personality test from an ad with someone's name and address.

 

[collymor]

Scientology believes that we are all incarnated from the souls from long dead space aliens.
