Scientology simply seeks to help people deal with events in the past that trouble their current and future behavior. - vranger

Except these past event happened thousands of years ago to an alien being that has captured your body and soul for its own use! Scienfictionology is the biggest basket of nonsense sold to people with NO SELF CONFIDENCE. It is not just a cult but an organization that is practicing medicine without a license. CLEAR!

I guess they have you brainwashed. Eveyone believes they are in the right religion, so if everyone wanted to kill the non- believers we would be in world war. You and your religion are wrong. In fact everything you know is wrong.

[displeased]

YOU GET THE GRIP OF YOUR OWN RELIGION!
IS NOT IT TRUE THAT YOUR BOOK KORAN CLEARLY DICTATE THAT "USE THE MOST HORRIFIC METHOD OF DEATH UPN THOSE WHO DENY ALLAH"

Being an atheist, I don''t have a religion to get a grip on. And I''ve never read the Koran. What I do know is the muslims I know and hang with haven''t tried to kill me and I don''t expect them to. Perhaps you should lock your door and hide in your room. You''ll be safe there.

It is amazing, truly amazing to read some of the stuff a non-believer will write in order to try and convince themselves that nothing bad will happen to them they die.

It''s amazing, truly amazing, that people actually believe that something does happen after you die

[cricketmk3]

I believe it''s hard for people sometimes to truly believe in God even when they really want to. Most of us are told when we are little that there is a Santa Clause...and there''s not...we are told there is an Easter Bunny...and there''s not...we are told there is a tooth fairy...you get my drift. Why would we expect a child to easily accept there is a God in Heaven just because someone said so? I believe more people struggle with this than we think...even those who attend church every Sunday.

[displeased]

ALSO DID YOU NOTICE THAT EVERY TIME THEY KILL AN INNOCENT HUMAN BEING THEY SHOUT THEIR PRAYER "ALLAH O AKBAR" WHILE THEY CUTTING THE THROAT OF INNOCENT HUMAN BEING

You''re referring to terrorists. Please get a grip.

All the ignorance that comes out about Scientology is never suprising at a time like this.

Scientology simply seeks to help people deal with events in the past that trouble their current and future behavior. This is actually the goal of many, many organizations.

Although I have not taken any Scientology courses or services in many years, I did so briefly years ago. At the time I had asthma that proved to be psycho-somatic in origin. I know this because I used the information I learned in those courses to recognize that and cure it. It went away as if someone had turned off a switch. In fact, that is exactly what happened, and that someone was me.

Scientologists are just like everyone else. They are people seeking to learn, to survive better if they can, and they make mistakes like everyone else.

For some reason, whenever a Scientologist makes a mistake or even endures some publicity, it is somehow an indictment of Scientology.

The Lutheran minister who performed my wedding 29 years ago sometime thereafter had an affair with a parishoner and was divorced by his wife. Somehow this did not become an indictment of either the Lutheran Church or Christianity as a whole.

The double standard and the hypocrisy are nauseating, no matter how ubiquitous.

Religionless Religion by Osho.

Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Mohammedanism %u2014 these are only ideologies, dogmas, creeds; they are only cults. The true religion has no name, it cannot have any name. Buddha lived it, Jesus lived it %u2014 but remember, Jesus was not a Christian and Buddha was not a Buddhist, he had never heard of the word. The truly religious people have been simply religious, they have not been dogmatic. There are three hundred religions in the world %u2014 this is such an absurdity! If truth is one, how can there be three hundred religions? There is only one science, and three hundred religions?

If the science that is concerned with the objective truth is one, then religion is also one because it is concerned with the subjective truth, the other side of the truth. But that religion cannot have any name, it cannot have any ideology.

I teach only that religion. Hence if somebody asks you what my teaching is, in short, you will not be able to say %u2014 because I don''t teach principles, ideologies, dogmas, doctrines. I teach you a religionless religion, I teach you the taste of it. I give you the method to become receptive to the divine. I don''t say anything about the divine, I simply tell you "This is the window %u2014 open it and you will see the starry night."

Religion is weird. Nature is god, and evolution is creation in the process.

"CMON ppl I write science fiction this is science fiction."

The problem I guess is that it is scribbled in some little notebooks that not even you yourself go back to re-read. LOL

You can''t even write a post on a message board well. God forbid we should be subjected to your ''fiction''. LOL

[vranger]

"Well, when you die, you are gone. You no longer exist"

And you know this ... how? ROFLMAO
Been there?

[rrozsa-2009]

I understand, it''''s fine. If belonging to a religion makes you feel good about yourself and others, that is wonderful. But like anything else, I won''''t force my beliefs on anyone as I don''''t expect anyone to force theirs on me.

============================================

We are in agreement on that. As far as I am concerned, people confuse organized religion with a personal relationship with God. I think religion scr3ws up most people who get messed up in its dogma. Even Jesus said as much....

[cricketmk3]

I am all for freedom of religion. I believe everyone should be able to decide for themselves what they believe in and what brings them comfort. However, not in my wildest dreams would I ever believe in this Scientology nonsense. I cannot take it seriously and I''m surprised at the people who do!

[jennasmith2]

But added to that is the fact religion stems from a mean to control people. Read up on your history - all religions, everyone of them attempts to control people.

You forgot to mention, a person cannot be controlled unless he/she allows it. Religions would not exist except people are afraid to be alone and out of control. The world is perceived as a scary place without answers, so therefore people willingly give up their freedom, their own power just for the feeling of safety in numbers, whatever the doctrine of the time/place may be. Regardless of what happens when someone passes away, it''s the people who are left here on Earth that deserve the freedom and peace to mourn their loss in their own way.

[forever1973]

Well, when you die, you are gone. You no longer exist, and you don''''t care, because you''''re gone. When you truly beleive this, you feel much more comfortable and happier than you will ever feel in your life, you are not afraid to die.

yes, but people have an innate fear of death that was selected for in the process of evolution so that they would survive longer and create more copies of their genes.

ElRon started the scientology "religion" to make lots of money when he wasn''t doing very well as a sci-fi writer. He said so himself. He also said that he was Satan. He was also drugged out his mind while writing his secret scientology documents, but scientology today is AGAINST mind-altering drugs! What''s up with that? They''re against the very thing that inspired all their own "religious" doctrines!!

"Scientologists believe that thetans have been attached to bodies in past lives and that this pattern of attachment will continue well onto the future".

True, but what this article fails to mention is that scientologists (if they''ve paid enough money to get to the OperatingThetan 8 level) believe that:

70 million years ago, the galactic overlord, /X/e/n/u/, had an overpopulation problem so he killed off billions of people from many planets, vacuumed up their souls ("thetans"), sent them to earth in spaceships that looked like DC-8s, brainwashed them with movies about Jesus and other mythological figures along the way, and stuffed these "thetans" into some volcanoes. The thetans eventually escaped and, when human beings evolved on this planet, they inhabited our bodies, causing all kinds of problems for the possessed humans. Scientologists supposedly use their little lie detectors ("E-meters") to remove those nasty little thetans or to get rid of the effects of the thetans by over-riding their movie brainwashing.

It''s the biggest crock of you-know-what that I''ve ever heard!

[kamehagreat]

Death is Part of the Cycle of Life, You don''t know till you get there, But being a High Profile Movie Star it doesn''t guarantee you it gets Better than what you had. It is possible you''ll be flying with the seagulls , but no Guarantee where ? in the Bahamas or some Trashed Filled Aley in a slum .Rest In Peace Young Soul.

[yongamerica]

So Scientologists believe their souls are aliens, not of this planet. Therefore Scientologists believe they are aliens hosted in a human body. Sciencefictionology at its best.

This article didn''t say how the soul, the Thetan first goes back to Venus for a long period of cleansing and abuse. Kind of like what SillyScientologists inflict on themselves here on earth. CLEAR! bzzzzzzzt.

[sly_64]

Religions were created to control people. They also fluourished because some people''s lives weren''t very good. Look at the middle ages for example. They WANTED to beleive there was something better after death.
