There has been much discussion about Scientology in the news recently. I am not one to dismiss a religion just because a few deem it a cult. I have done days of research and ask you to open your mind and digest the facts.
The following paragraphs are directly from the Scientology website.
The word Scientology literally means “the study of truth.” It comes from the Latin word “scio” meaning “knowing in the fullest sense of the word” and the Greek word “logos” meaning “study of.”
Scientology is the study and handling of the spirit in relationship to itself, others and all of life. The religion comprises a body of knowledge extending from certain fundamental truths. Prime among these:
Man is an immortal, spiritual being. His experience extends well beyond a single lifetime. His capabilities are unlimited, even if not presently realized — and those capabilities can be realized. He is able to not only solve his own problems, accomplish his goals and gain lasting happiness, but also achieve new, higher states of awareness and ability.
In Scientology no one is asked to accept anything as belief or on faith. That which is true for you is what you have observed to be true. An individual discovers for himself that Scientology works by personally applying its principles and observing or experiencing results.
Through Scientology, people all over the world are achieving the long-sought goal of true spiritual release and freedom. Thats the official word. Below is a list of a few core beliefs of Scientology.
- People are half robot and half monkey
- We descended from aliens
- We live many times past this life
- Some dude named L Ron Hubbard is god
- One day Abe Vigoda will come back and ,with the help of
his pet armadillo, bring the dead back to life while eating cherry poptarts.
- Tom Cruise’s ass is a black hole that will lead you to a planet wholly run by pigeons
- Man is the highest form of life after chickens and postmen
- “Cocktail” and “Days of thunder” aren’t that bad. I mean I wouldn’t pay theater prices to see them but if they are TBS Ill watch them
Now you have a little more information on which to base your ridicule of Scientology.
