It Sounds Like Science...

Fiction.



This is part one in my new series of crazy things in religion!

I decided this afternoon to look up Scientology because I don't want to study for exams and I don't know a lot about it.

Scientology gets a lot of crap from the rest of the world for being a bit kooky. They're the D&D playing trekkie on the playground and Christianity is the mean stinky bully with bad teeth.

And it isn't hard to see why when the holiest of their religious Scriptures is called a "Space Opera". According to Scientology's founder "modern-day science fiction genre of space opera is merely an unconscious recollection of real events that took place millionsof years ago." Also, our souls temporarily go to the planet Venus when we die. Also, this one guy Xenu commits a big genocide on earth with a bunch of Hydrogen bombs and that is where we all come from! We are immortal souls locked in fleshy cages or something and we reincarnate. Oh, and a lot of this action with Xenu happened roughly 300,000 x the generally accepted age of the Universe years ago. Also, the way that the big bad Xenu got us all here? DC-8s.

So yeah, it is a bit crazy. But so far the worst I can see they've done is be all anti-psychiatry. Which is bad... psychiatry can be very useful in many situations. But is isn't that bad compared to some of the other shit that goes down.

It All Makes Sense Now!!!

I apologize folks for that last post. I really had no idea what I was talking about as evidenced by this article.

"That is the biggest concern, that your herd could somehow contract this illness from an infected person," said Kansas hog farmer Ron Suther, who is banning visitors from his sow barns and requiring maintenance workers, delivery men and other strangers to report on recent travels and any illness before they step foot on his property.
