I just don't get how they dupe so many people. well, most of us here are Jets fans. Does that answer your question? Thats just the triumph of optimism over experience.

Some of these people leave their families, give up all their money, then "work" for a few dollars a day. I can see a few crazies doing this...but thousands??? Their "business plan" is structured almost identically to a human institution that still to this day dupes billions of people every single Sunday. It's almost fool proof. What I think is funny is people who go to other churches laughing about how "laughable" Scientology's beliefs are.

At least Jesus Christ and Mohammed existed. Also LHR was pretty much a POS human being.

All religion is the same however I can understand that young children who are indoctrinated into the various faiths by school and family make it seem more real for them when they are adults. It does not make Christianity, Islam or any of the others real. Scientology does not tell you about Xenu until you are into them for around 800k, until then its about making the best of yourself and others around you. It can for a lot of people see are more fair religion than others which seem to just want to fight and kill in the name of peace constantly. Just watch the documentary any you will see how the interviewees still miss certain aspects and how they say the religion worked for them for a time.
There is only one religion in the world that is true in all aspects and that is the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. All hail his noodley appendage and become pastafarians, it will change your life.

Those drawings in the desert in Peru. The pyramids. Do they need proof? Let's not even pin belief in silly stuff solely on religion. My wife thinks ghosts may be real...even thinks she used to live under a haunted apartment (I heard noises....and no one lived there!). People think wearing a copper band around your arm promotes healing or some shit. People think you can detox your liver by eating a kale nutribullet shake. People think the government uses passenger jet exhaust to spread mind control gas across the entire country. People think doctors and farmers in this country a waging an organized campaign to kill and poison people.

I once talked to a feller who truly believed that 9/11 was a government job to blow up the buildings so the gold stored in the safes in the basements could be vaporized at a rate faster than the vaporization of the gold they put in gasoline that vaporizes when we drive our cars. Why do we need to vaporize gold? It's because every X thousand years earth travels through a galactic something or other that is radioactive and kill everything that isn't protected by gold. The last time it happened there were good aliens who came to earth and erected gold force fields over earth civilizations because they liked us. They eventually left and now we only have the evil aliens who live under our major cities who have no interest in helping us survive. How did he know so much truth? He went to bed at sunset and prayed until he fell asleep. Angels revealed this truth to him. Incidentally, he also listened to a lot of AM talk radio in his log cabin in northern Arizona while praying.

But theres a difference between tossing a few sheckles in the plate and turning your life over to them. Its not the beliefs that I find extraordinary, (people will believe anything) its how much people are willing to do.

The trails behind the jets in the sky are now chemtrails, not contrails. Chemical trails. And to think water vapor as a product of combustion that condenses when it comes out of the hot engine and hits the cold upper atmosphere really isn't what those trails are at all. It's chemicals. I'm glad I'm informed now.

And what make one religion better than the other, because one book was written hundreds of years ago and another this century?? Scientology, what a joke. I just deleted a whole 10 line follow up rant, don't want to offend anyone.

A religion started by some guy named Ron. At least Abraham is a respectable name.
