Celebrities have a history of bad decisions... drugs, alcohol, loose women... Hell, look at Madonna... she preaches the Kabbal and slept with Vanilla Ice.
I have respect for all religions, but Scientology isn't a religion, it is some horseshit.
A Reader's Digest article of May 1980 quoted Hubbard as saying in the 1940s "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."

so here's the basic gist of thier beliefs. these dumb assholes believe that millions of years ago, before the dinos an intergalactic war was being waged. our Earth—called Teegeeack, then—was featured in a galaxy-wide federation oppressed by one Xenu (or Xemu), an evil titan. Faced with the problem of overpopulation, Xenu had gathered up the ne’er-do-wells from his empire and confined those individuals in terrestrial volcanoes, and utilized nuclear bombs to explode the latter (and the former). The spirits (“thetans”) of those formerly intact beings were then collected, imprisoned in frozen alcohol, and implanted into human beings. and these thetans are now the cuase of all human suffering....so all you have to do is run down to the nearest center and pay ass loads of money for auditing and they'll get rid of those pesky little buggers for ya.no but it doesnt stop there, once you join up, you often have to cut ties from all your relatives, they also claim that once your educated enuff you can control these thetans on a few levels they dub operating thetans. they have OT1-OT9 i believe,but in order to advance thru the levels you have to donate more money...so the more you give the higher you can climb, and once you get to OT5, where tom cruise is, supposedly you can fly and have mastery over time and space...read ppls minds, and move objects mentally.....WOW WHERE DO I SIGN UP!
i know we got freedom of religion and all but why do we allow these bastards to continue??
but on a more serious note religion doesn't have to make "sense" to you or me because it's all faith based anyway. In reality all religions are farfetched and loosely supported but people have faith in them so who are we to make fun of their beliefs

The only thing I really find suspicious about the religion is the enormous amount of money you have to pay to recieve this deliverence. Also, do any of these participants get an evidence they have a thetan living in them?

I feel it's time to revive this thread to do recent events. Scientology is a dangerous cult that is banned in many countries. Financial exploitation, brainwashing, kidnapping, and murder shouldn't be accepted as religious practices in the 21st century
Edit: I thought this was another evolution thread. My mistake. I won't be posting in this thread again.
