Scientology: The Worlds Most Crazy Regilion?

Has anyone read through http://www.xenu.net/ ?
My mind is about to explode!

"Read the full leaflet (and the Clambake site), to see how crazy Scientology really is, but here are the key points:

Scientology has been described as a "Bait-and-Switch" fraud. This has a definite meaning in US law. It describes a fraud where a person is seemingly sold one thing only to find out that it is another and more expensive thing and so they pay more than they would have paid had they known what it was all about.

Scientology is the definitive example of this. It starts out with Dianetics, a supposed science of the mind that will greatly improve a person’s thinking and health at a seemingly reasonable cost. People are attracted in, they receive some Dianetic processing only to be told that it only works on a few people and so to benefit they must receive the very expensive Scientology auditing instead at $200 per hour. This they do and reach the dubious state called Clear only to be told that they are then "at risk" and must move at all speed to the more advanced level of OT III, parting with thousands of dollars all the while. When they reach OT III a great secret is told them. That is that they are full of the souls of space aliens murdered 75 million years ago and to achieve spiritual benefits they must pay to have them removed. The processing at this level costs $400 per hour.

The whole of the Scientology religion is a continuous bait-and-switch fraud with the whole purpose of extracting the maximum amount of money from people."

Thoughts?

 

Nee , the most crazy religion is radical islam . What other religion convinces you that getting you entrails vaporised brings you virgin pussy ?

 

Thats a hard call... cause there's so many great choices. For example a con artist that was pretty much chased outta the eastern US worked his way west while concocting his own religion in the 1800s. I doubt its a coincidence that the angel that gave him "the truth" was named Moroni. Thus was born the Morman faith.

Scientology is a scheme cooked up by Sci-Fi writer L Ron Hubbard, who said beforehand that writing wasnt the way to riches... if somebody really wanted to make money they oughta start their own religion. Of course he was in the nuclear age, and true to his sci-fi roots concocted a tale of alien beings that were blown up with an H-bomb... body thetans that were released in the explosion and now host in peoples bodies causing sickness and such... and a cool electronic device called an e-meter which allows believers to hold onto a couple of phallic looking rods and run some electricity to the system to clear out those nasty BTs.

Woulda been cheesy even by sci-fi standards, but theres no limit to what people will buy if you tell them its a religious thing. Still, followers of that cult, though deluded, are only crazy enough to give their money to a ripoff cult created to let the founder dodge the IRS while sucking in free money.

Scientoligists might be in contention for gold in the special olympics of crazy, but theyre amateurs. The pros of the religious loon genre are blowing people up, sawing off others limbs, and making women dress as beekeepers. Until Scientologists go militant they're not gonna win the crazy sweepstakes. That prize has been claimed.

 

Yeah I know it sounds so crazy right?

Jesus having a virgin birth, parting of seas, raising the dead, person living inside a whale for 3 days and world being started by Adam and eve 5000 years ago with a talking snake, thats cool!

 

Wow Helvetii is so subtle

 

It's not a religion, it's a cult, like Christianity etc.

 

You have no idea what I believe, so you took a shot in the dark. You missed. [again] Seems to be your best talent.

FTR, I'm a backslidden Ex-Baptist... we worship fast horses, faster women, and good sipping whisky. Don't bother applying, we're pretty exclusive.

Better stick to peddling snake oil to DPs newbs. Then again, if they're gullible enough buy the math in your footer... consider starting your own religion.

 

You do understand that without Christianity there would be no Islam. Now do you?

Actually, Christianity is just another (of many) off shoot sect of Islam.

Jesus was a Prophet of Islam, a Muslim, and he preached Islam, the heretic Christians claim that this is Jesus:



Ever since they formed their own sect, they splintered off into even more sects, today there are 100's of different types of Christians, each believing in something else.

 

LOL it's strange how every religion has just a few heretics but according to SolarProducts Islam has more heretics then believers . Kind of a weak ass religion by your own words .

 

I talked to The Church of Scientology once a few years ago.

Oddest thing I found out was that they don't want people who have a felony conviction in their little church.
What real "Religion" isn't interested in helping a sinner?

 

Oh, I see but now you got me confused.
Can you explain to me, if Jesus was a Muslim and a Islamic Prophet
then how come you hate your bro, one of your own, your own Prophet?

I hate him? You mean he's a Jew and I should hate him. Not at all, I don't hate Jews, in fact, many Islamic Prophets were Jews (by ethnicity), like Moses, David and Jacob, our religion has no ethnicity, nationality or colours, unlike Christianity where you have a black and white church, nowadays you have the "Church of England" or "Russian Church", it's ridiculous. In Judaism you have to be a Jew in order to be part of the religion, that's why they are really cults, to reiterate I don't hate Jews, I hate Zionism.

 

Now you confused me completely.

You said: Jesus was a Prophet of Islam, a Muslim, and now you're telling me that he was a Jew.
I just don't know what to believe any longer.

Man, make your mind for God's sake, give me some evidence or something.

More stupid stuff from our local nutjob :

Christianity has : The Orthodox Church (keeping the ancient tradition) , the Catholic Church (which split from the Orthodox since a pope wanted more power for himself ) and the protestants who split from the Catholic Church and then continued splitting to this very day . There is no black church or white church as this racist SoB declares .

Islam has divisions as well : Shia and Sunni being the major ones and a ton load of other small ones as well . Oh and Islam s no stranger to discrimination in the Middle Ages the Arabs where the main slave traders of the world . Also a Muslim country is one of the few places in the world where slavery is still legal .

Also he's not a Jew his a 2 bit failed propagandist that get's a kick by seeing people quote his current name and say bad things about it . His greatest joy comes if someone posts "Israel is a moron" .

 

He is both. A Jew is just a race, like an Arab, or an Indian. A "Muslim" however is not a race, it's someone who follows "Islam".

 

Reminder: Islam was founded by Muhammed. He lived from around 570-632 AD. For Jesus to preach Islam he'd need to not be born 5+ centuries before its founder.

 

perhaps Mo invented the concept of "retroactivity"

 

Lol exactly, I must get out of the P&R section quick before my IQ falls to low.

 

The three major Abrahamic religions are, in order of appearance, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Judaism regards itself as the religion of the descendants of Jacob, the grandson of Abraham.

Christianity began as a sect of Judaism in the 1st century CE (known as Jewish Christianity) and evolved into a separate religion with distinctive beliefs and practices, notably its replacement of the Jewish idea of an exclusive ethnic religious community with an inclusive, universal community of believers, the Christian Church.

Islam was founded by Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century CE upon the teachings in the Qur'an. It retained the inclusiveness of Christianity, but reverted to simple monotheism with a central, but not divine, prophet.

No matter how you look at it or which of this 3 major religions you belong to, you most likely need your head check for being a member.
