Scientology-should it be destroyed?

Gerry Asstrix

I have nothing against religions, or people practising them in their own time, but lately been doing alot of reading and research on Scientology and WOW, some shocking stuff.

If you dont know what Scientology is about, basically its an organisation that is based around the belief that 75 billion years an evil overlord called Xenu ruled over the universe, the universe he found overpopulated so he decided to banish mass amounts of the beings from different planets to earth via ships that resemble with we would now deem airplane. They were then placed in volcanoes and blown up with H bombs and their spirits flew to earth taking host in humans.
And these spirits known as 'thetans' embody everything negative in our lives, and to get yourself sorted you need Scientology which through 'auditing' were you hold two tin cans while a little dial goes up and down indicating how your 'thetan' is reacting to questions your being asked.

This mad sh*t was made up by L Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer(duh) who claimed to be a war hero and a whole host of other tremendous things that all turned out to be bullsh*t, and he died in hiding, wanted for fraud of 200 million.

Now the 'church' has a following of 10 million its believed, and they basically operate like a cult, take in impressionable people, take all their money and make them give all their time to the 'church', they are told to 'disconnect' which means they must cut out anyone that isnt into scientology this includes friends and family. you only get told the Xenu, thetan alien story when you fork out over 500 grand, until then your on the bridge to 'clear' which is suppose to give you super powers(I swear this is for real Im not spoofing)

They are well known for harrassing, intimidating, threatening anyone that disagrees or critisises them, they usually use their high priced legal eagles to sue anyone into oblivion but they will use other methods if need be, and people have turned up dead.

Basically the overall goal of Scientology is world domination, thankfully I dont think we are all that stupid to be taken in by blown up volcano demons, the other far fetched yet more acceptable religions do us

Should Scientology be destroyed, it is dangerous afterall to ones health

Sounds more believable than some of the crap that has been forced down my throat by another organisation who also crave world dominance!

No massacres or wars in the name of Xenu that i have heard about either

The thread title makes it sound like Scientology is an old tv or something.

But sure yeah, it should be destroyed.

Snakeblood

Quiet you fool, Xenu is watching.

DingChavez

Eville personified.

Needs to be eradicated. I know we're not all stupid enough to join but doesn't mean it couldn't get powerful enough to affect us.

Smash it.

There will always be stupid people with a lot of money. Scientology therefore can't be destroyed.

Only $499,990 to go, I hear its a mad story, can't wait.

It really isn't something just to be laughed at. I'd love to see Ireland ban the organisation from 'trading' here

No enemy at war with the US have managed to even almost equal that.

Biggins

Yes.

Simple answer to a simple question.

You can heal people when you get there . You also have the right to jump up and down on a sofa on a talk show of your choice professing your love for someone. Good value when you think of it.:D

So, who created Xenu??

Here are a few deaths related to Scientology.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_related_to_Scientology

They should probably add John Travolta's son who died recently in the Bahamas after he allegedly suffered a seizure and hit his head in the bath.

I'm sick people mocking scientology just because the origin story seems fanciful.

Next people are gonna try convince me that the events retold in the Star Wars movies never really happened. :mad:

Is their objective of worship less than others? Perhaps given it is money and pwoer this frightens many incluing myself but what of freedom of speech etc ... why shouldn't they have religious / belief based freedoms? Yes I realise their methods and PR workers are objectionable - given christian failings (and more specific catholic in this country) whats the problem with greedy people creating a church based upon greed and alien faith based propositions that can't be disproved?

i don't see why it should be banned,people voluntarily join,its their fault for giving up their money to Scientology.

it's not my business if somebody joins the church so why should i care?

To name but a few, they target celebs in the hope of getting fans interested in the religion. Celebs love it because the business provides free weekend luxury retreats with free labour from the ordinary followers.

Many people have died (been murdered?) because of Scientology and it's practices. I think that's enough to warrant an outright ban on the cult.
