Well, you have your answer right there. Get over it.
Most religions have similar giant leaps of faith.

wolfwood Did anyone watch that documentary where that british comedian went to a off shoot of scientology camp and learned all about what it takes to become one and sit about all day mucking about with playdo and reading stuff that makes no sense and trying your best to get an reaction from someone who's just sitting blankly infront of you.

No.
Although John Safran dressed up as Beck and attended a scientology conferance in one of the segmants in John Safran vs. God. Great series.
Hmmm.
They kidnapped me to do me a test, for free (well not KIDDNAP, but stopped me on the street, and took me away promising me candy)
Anyway, this was 3 years ago.
I was in my first year of University, and this guy at the Churchill Square in Brighton was like ''would you like a self test'' then I was like ''ok''.
So he took me into this room, and I had shit load of food shopping with me. Then this woman came through and brought me a test and a pencil and told me to circle things which can best be applied to me.
I did the test, then the woman came back again and was like: 'wait here'. So I did.
The she took me into this other room, where she took out this huge print out with a graph of my ''unhappiness'' on. Then she was like ''you are very very unhappey with your life''
So I was like ''it ain't that bad'' and she was like ''how would you like to be happy again''
And I was like ''of course''. So she MADE ME by this book about scientilogy. It cost me £11.99!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its been almost 4 years now, and I haven't really opened it yet. Its still brand new in its packeging, collecting dust in my shelf.
I might read it sometimes...
Thats my experience with scientology.

Man...and I thought people trying to make Jedi a religion were retarded.

By science! How dare you! Praise science!!
You know, i think you're right.
There is something really strange with the scientology - it maybe says something about people wanting to belong a religious institution no matter how srange, opressive, weird or dangerous it is. 😖
Example - silent birth..I mean seriously... double yew tee eff?
Although it makes you wonder more about the people who agree to participate in scientology, than those who came up with it.
