[TV] Louis Theroux - Scientology

[AmexRuislip]

If that little ratboy had done that to me, right in my face, playing or not, you still feel the need to smack him, religious or not!

Too big to be a cult, it is now recognised as a religion. People mock it obviously but I see similarities to other religions too to be honest.

It isn't recognised universally.

The difference with other religions is that I generally simply call myself to be a member of a faith or visit a church to be one over time.

.. I don't have to pay for courses.

It has little similarity with other religions. It more like self-improvement / management training which is why it is attracted the disaffected educated middle classes.

Great film - crazy cult
This is worth listening - 2 hour interview with Joe Rogan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqRP7yJfgog

majority of those practicing Islam are as sane and normal as the rest of us.

True but the same could be said for Scientologists "are as normal as the rest of us", you don't see the problems with Scientologists that we see in some Muslim communities. I'm no supporter of Scientology but I think the utter hypocrisy of a religion or a cult (whatever you want to label it) as being seen as evil but Islam being seen as peaceful is completely delusional. In fact if you compared the lives of the founder of each.. Ron Hubbard vs Muhammad on morality, I'm pretty sure Muhammad would no come out well.

You should not talk about what you truly do NOT understand!

I'll remember that next time you suggest Chris Hughton should have picked so & so, or gone five across the back when chasing a game.

Marty Rathbun's take on the film -

I think he still fancies Scientology.

He's never worked out the film was really about him.

Funny enough, he posted the incident of him being baited in the LA airport, copyrighted the footage, and charges for its use as well as racking up YouTube views. Faux outrage I feel.

 

[Dick Head]

dick head, allowing all the suffering, child abuse, genocide and general thundercuntery in the world..

I might be all-seeing and all-loving but, unfortunately, I am not all-powerful. Soz.

You believe this sort of stuff?

"According to L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology’s fundamental creation myth goes something like this: Xenu (also referred to as Xemu) was once ruler of the Galactic Confederacy, an ancient organization of 76 planets. Having existed for 20 million years, the planets were struggling from extreme overpopulation.
Fearing he’d be thrown out of power, Xenu gathered billions of his people, froze them to capture their souls (“thetans”), and transported them to Earth (then called Teegeeack) for elimination. He dumped them at the bottom of volcanoes and then destroyed them in a series of nuclear explosions, killing all but a few and sending their souls into the air.
Once in the air, the souls were captured by Xenu, who then implanted into them misleading information, including concepts related to all of the world’s religions.
After all this evil was carried out, Xenu was eventually imprisoned, and Earth was left to be a mere prison planet by the Galactic Confederacy."

Well now it has been so clearly explained it has made up my mind,Im OUT!!!
