This is the strangest religion I have ever heard of......and it's a MAJOR one!!

Yes, I am speaking of scientology. crap, i have issues with even capitalizing it becuse it's such a scam. you don't even find out what you believe in until you have paid thousands of dollars. I have been meaning to do this post since I did my Agnostic paper and a woman in my class did hers over scientology. I read her info before her presentation AND WAS UPHAULED!!! The information I am about to put in this post is true to my knowledge, and has came from many, many sources that all state the same (including the AWESOME South Park episode that reminded me to post this.....those guys did their research!) so here goes.
Scientology was founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, and you can tell, since the foundation sounds like a story you might read with your 8 year old at bedtime. This site gives the best detail I have found yet, and here is an excerpt about the core of Scientology belief. "75 million years ago, there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu who was in charge of 76 planets in our sector of the galaxy, including planet Earth, whose name at that time was Teegeeack.

All of the planets Xenu controlled were over-populated by, on average, 178 billion people. Social problems dictated that Xenu rid his sector of the galaxy of this overpopulation problem, so he developed a plan.

Xenu sent out Tax Audit demands to all these billions of people. As each one entered the audit centers for the income tax inspections, the people were seized, held down and injected with a mixture of alcohol and glycol, and frozen. Then, all 13.5 trillion of these frozen people were put into spaceships that looked exactly like DC8 airplanes, except that the spaceships had rocket engines instead of propellers.

Xenu's entire fleet of DC8-like spaceships then flew to planet Earth, where the frozen people were dumped in and around volcanoes in the Canary Islands and the Hawaiian Islands. When Xenu's Air Force had finished dumping the bodies into the volcanoes, hydrogen bombs were dropped into the volcanoes and the frozen space aliens were destroyed. However, Xenu's plan involved setting up electronic traps in Teegeeack's atmosphere which were designed to trap the souls or spirits of the dead space aliens. When the 13.5 trillion spirits were being blown around on the nuclear winds, the electronic traps worked like a charm and captured all the souls in the electronic, sticky fly-paper like traps.

The spirits of the aliens were then taken to huge multiplex cinemas that Xenu had previously instructed his forces to build on Teegeeack. In these movie theaters the spirits had to spend many days watching special 3-D movies, the purpose of which was twofold: 1) to implant into these spirits a false reality, i.e. the reality that WOGS (Hubbard's derisory term for anyone not a Scientologists) know on Earth today; and, 2) to control these spirits for all eternity so that they could never cause trouble for Xenu in this sector of the Galaxy. During these films, many false pictures were implanted into these spirits, which resulted in the spirits believing in all the things that control mankind on Earth today, including religion. The concept of religion, including God, Christ, Mohammed, Moses etc., were all an implanted false reality that to this very minute is used to control WOGS on Earth.

When the films ended and the souls left the cinema, they started to stick together in clusters of a few thousand and remained that way until mankind began to inhabit the Earth. Today on Earth all the spirits of these aliens have attached themselves to our bodies and are the root cause of the false reality that all but Scientology's "Homo Novis" or OT 8's on earth experience. It is the job of all Scientologists to remove this false reality from the world by auditing each and every space alien spirit and human on earth to CLEAR not only this planet but the universe........To finish the story, the Loyal Officers of the Marcab Confederation finally discovered how evil Xenu was and overthrew him. He is now locked away in a mountain on one of the planets and kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery. Several of Xenu's relatives can often be found on the internet newsgroup called alt.religion.scientology or ARS for short battling Scientology daily." I think this is why Tom Cruise was always talking about the "Auditing".
The funniest thing (in more than one way) I learned from this was if you learn about the stry of Xenu too soon, you will die of pneumonia...It's been awhile for me and i haven't had so much as a cold, so I think It's ok to kreep reading!;)

The Same holy smoke article calculates you would have 2,209 of these Body Thetans (the alien spirits) attached to you, making you believe the way you do. The average cost for a Scientologist to OT 8 (clear the body thetans)is a $360,000 (or $163 each)...only $2,205,000,000,000,000 to clear the whole earth! Man, Let me grab my checkbook!!!

Maybe the eliteness due to money is why so many celebrities are drawn in. It's a religion where everyone else really is like them....rich. Plus Scientology sets up special centers to keep them from being like everyone else. Personally, I feel like If a monetary contribution is required to find out what I believe in, my faith obviously isn't that strong, and I need to do some looking!


**disclaimer: I am not meanining to be insensitive or to make fun of another religion, but to heighten awareness of It's beliefs....If you are a scientologist, or know alot about it and differ with this post, please leave a comment ~ thnx****
