No disrespect to anyone meant, but what was L. Ron Hubbard smoking when he came up wi
Some of the beliefs of cytologistsSsound a lot like Star
Wars! The basic principles of cytologistsSdescale the belief of a being called Xenu who kidnapped a crap load of people, brought them here to earth, stacked em at the base of every Vulcan on the earth, lowered hydrogen bombs into the volcanoes to blow it all up! The people supposedly turned into the tans and possessed the human race. Does this seem a little bit like science fiction or what?
EW!! Could you imagine french kissing Cruise after he does that? Blurb..ok time for me to drive a buick to europe to see Earl...thats just gross!
Alrighty then, disresepct meant, what ever, but the man was still out there where the satellites ain't flyin!
Sounds more like star trek than star wars...to be honest, I watch neither but the answer sounds good anyhow. I think it is the product of various narcotics.
he didn't get enough hugs as a child possibly? Who better then to get a hug from someone who gives you a mi lion dollars to listen to you rant so they can turn around and get all the attention that they feel that they aren't getting too. Thank you Opera, thank you People magazine, and all the others for encouraging idiots.
L.Ron Hubbard was not smoking anything when he came up with Scientology, rather he lost a majority of his marbles or fell and hit his head on something hard to make him loose several screws in his head
He did have some strange, way out observations. I still do not understand why or how Scientology encourages a husband to eat the placenta of his wife's afterbirth as Tom Cruse said he is going to do...?
You need to remember that everything else written by Hubbard was science fiction. I think he just got a little too into the world (think Trekkies or the Star Wars convention people). Unfortunately, some of the people who decided to follow him had connections.
From what I've read it sounds like he did it on a bet. That he could make up a religion and get rich from it. He succeeded. He must have been on drugs when he came up with this junk. Not only that those that follow it like some movie stars *cough*Tom Cruise*cough* need their heads examined cause something isn't right somewhere to believe we are possessed by aliens and earth was an alien prison planet. They have wonderful melds now for delusions like that!
You shouldn't have said no disrespect intended because you definitely are disrespecting cytologistsSTyson you say that... why do people think it makes something which would otherwise be offensive OK if they say 'no disrespect intended' or 'no of fence but...'
However unlikely a story may be there is always a chance it is right... however very very unlikely...
I still just cant believe that this rubbish so believable to so many people. It makes one think that idiots that live by this religion are the same people that must fall prey to all ridiculous scams. If its this easy to fool people into making them think whatever you want, no matter how ridiculous your claim, then anyone can make millions selling "magic pills" and things of that sort.
My opinion is that is silly and sad that some people had to find this insane man to speak of truth. Dont they know that he preached his ideas regarding mental health and the human mind being capable of sobering itself, warning that medication is poison to the body and mind. Yet, he suffered of mental problems himself and when he was found dead, it was also found that he was taking anti psychosis melds.....
It has always baffled me that some of the great religious figures in time have been otherwise certifiably nuts. Take a look at Joseph Smith, founder of the LDS church. Very similar personality to L Ron Hubbard. Since childhood, Joe Smith was entertaining people with his wild stories of a factious ancient civilization. When he got older and more sophisticated, he claimed to have found golden tablets with the history of an ancient race. And of course, he and only he was able to interpret them.
So, was he nuts and full of imagination and stories, yes.
Are there gullible people who would follow charismatic charlatans like Hubbard and Smith right over the edge of the cliff? You betcha!
