Is Scientology for real?

...I mean, Carmon....Xenu the galactic soul stealing emperor is the cause of all our pain and confusion?
To further clarify, no this has nothing to do with South Park...well sort of...actually yeah, I'm just posting this to be topical and trendy. All hail Xenu and his fleet of intergalactic DC9's!

Hey, some people believe in it. Its just as reasonable as believing in god.

Sounds as crazy as a big man in the sky, turning people into pillars of salt. Seems everyone has to believe some fictional story just to sleep at night. Study all religions, but practice none.

its real, but full of unreal people. Look at tom cruise. he is living in another planet.

Different -I have family members that are Scientology's and they don't try to preach to me. Thank God

You know, all that spaceship nonsense is besides the point. Scientology tells people that they're geniuses and perfect and they can fly and the only thing stopping them is everybody Else's negative thoughts. Can you think of anything more perfect for an actor to hear? Or anyone with low self-esteem? You could sell gold-dipped turds so long as you can convince people the turds will make them popular.

A Reader's Digest article of May 1980 quoted Hubbard as saying in the 1940s "Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion."

it sounds like it's just something for rich people to make themselves feel special

ha ha come on...heck no

I'm sorry to answer your question with a question...but did you see the South Park episode about this? Wow! I didn't know that is what cytologistsSdistally believed. I am not trying to judge other people's religions, but I would like to know where this one came from, and what the basis of it is?

If I thinking of the same one as you, Yes. I used to have a book by Mary Baker Eddy or something like that. But, it was very interesting to Read. They believed a lot in Healing from a spiritual perspective, but, then she died, so, I not sure.

Apparently this is what they believe, but the good news is that IL' Xenu is no longer a threat to the greater galaxy, at least according to the folks at Wikipedia:

Xenu is allegedly imprisoned in a mountain by a force field powered by an eternal battery. He is said to be still alive today.

Actually, part of me is a little bit sad if this is "really" true - I'd like to see Tom Cruise and the rest of those Scientologists fight him on some secret asteroid base or something.

I think that if someone wants to believe that Scientology is "for real," then they have every right to.

On the other hand, it is run very much like a business, with expensive fees for the services that are provided. This seems a bit... wrong (to me).

Ron. l. Hubbard. wrote this is a man made thing ever read dendrites well there is your answer . not real ?

its their opinion. just like some Pol worship the devil
