Some thoughts on Scientology

Tom Cruise supposedly said he was going to eat his baby's placenta. Interesting. Although I was just doing some backround checks on his actual statements because I couldn't believe he'd actually publicly say that, and I came up with this.

... he was joking. So sad. I was actually hoping he'd just stuff it all right in there and eat it. Dang. Oh well. I mean isn't that what these crazy scientologists do?

So a few nights ago I was chatting with some friends about the latest and greatest religion "Scientology." If you haven't read up on this, do it. Not to be intolerant of others' beliefs, but I cracked up. First off, this "religion" was created by science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard. That should say something right there. Secondly, their main "god" (if you can call him a god) is some alien by the name of Xenu (or Xemu of you're Hubbard writing while high on about every drug imainable).

Now this isn't to say that scientology is without any kind of spiritual beliefs, but the whole foundation of the religion is insane. In order to advance within the religion, you have to donate money. Yep. The more you donate the farther you get. You wanna know what they do with all that money? They buy their own personal navy, part of it being decommisioned WWII cruisers. And supposedly they drop anyone who speaks out against scientology on their ships off 20 foot high parts of the boats. That's insanity. It's honestly a shame that people get brainwashed with this crap.

To my dismay, I found out that John Travolta is a Scientologist (probably old news). I would like us to take a moment of silence to commemorate a once very cool actor, and mourn his tragic downfall ....



































Thank you.

On other news, I've taken a liking to Pastafarianism. It's freakin' hiliarious. All hail the flying spaghetti monster. Oh, and we need more pirates. The evidence is irrefutible that the downfall of pirates is causing global warming. If this makes no sense to you, then I redirect you to your local channel.

hmmm ... other stuff going on .... I think Bush is trying to start a fight with China. No wonder America isn't held in very high regard. Honestly ... a crazy woman screaming threats at the Chinese president? The national anthem of Taiwan? Bush pulling at his sleeve? Giving the Chinese president a paper bag lunch (well not really, but an informal lunch) rather than some dinner at the white house? Whenever that guy gets back to China I expect him to start launching nukes our way. Either that or get pissed off and take it out on Taiwan.

Well that's about it. I'm out for the night. Bon soir, and long live Xenu.
