What are your religion's deepest dark secrets that you are not supposed to talk about?

Question

Mine is scientology and the final thing we are told is Tom Cruise really is an alien from the planet Theta.

Answer 1

No no, for Scientology, it's that they convince people that they're infested with alien spirits, that they need to give their every last dime to the "church", and that they withhold necessary prescription medication from those who desperately need it to remain functional in everyday life.

Their deepest dark secret is that their unwillingness to provide the profoundly disturbed with proper medication has lead to at least 2 deaths and most certainly more that cannot at this time be proven as the other 2 were.

Answer 2

You mean Tom Cruise isn't an alien? And doesn't his child look a lot like Chris Klein, Katie's ex?

And Scientology is some religion someone made up when they were bored. If you want, I will make up one, and tell you to worship guinea pigs made of Ivory soap. I say pick a religion not popular to Madonna, Tom Cruise, or any of those other nuttos.

Answer 3

Really?! My, that must be fun for him.

I am a secularist (not to be confused with a secular humanist who has a different faith system). Our deepest darkest secret is that we are nice people and do not even believe there is a Satan much less worship him.

My favorite secret regarding a religion? That Wiccans actually live by a more honorable and stricter set of guidelines -- ie the Rule of Three as found in the Wiccan Rede -- than the Christians who perceive them as being wonton and immoral.

Answer 4

Sorry but they are deep and dark secrets and I'm not supposed to talk about it.
But all religions think that about Tom Cruise... LOL

Answer 5

do not quite have any "darkish secrets and techniques" my previous is quite a lot an open e book. i wager the in basic terms component close is that I once had an element for my oldest brothers spouse. (In my ideas in basic terms, not something ever befell). I favor CD's lots of the time. I hate commercial's and stupid communicate.

Answer 6

Not really a secret anymore but if I was Christian I'd have to say the whole 'how we stole the Pagan holidays, traditions, symbology etc and turned their deities into demons so Pagans are still misunderstood today' thing!

Answer 7

Hey stop joking!
The story of Xeno is just a fable and no Scientologist believe it to be true. In fact most Scientologist I have meet haven't even heard the story. Scientology isn't a faith system but a series of proceses that a person uses to find his own truth. Here are some of the principles.

1. What is true for you is what you your self observe to be true.

2. Man is his spirit not his mind or his body.

3. The spirit creates his own mind. Please do not confuse the mind with the brain that is a physical thing. The mind is composed of mental image pictures as explained in Dianetics. These pictures serve the spirit to give him knowlege and experiance. These pictures are composed of energy. The energy in the picture can affect the spirit. You can feel better by remembering something that you like or angry by remembering something else. These emotions are actually energy waves emanated by the picture. You can actually feel pain by remembering a pain memory. Sometimes this pictures are acompanied by ideas or considerations. Lets suposed that you father beat you mom up in front of you. Your father was the dominating figure so you might conclude that you have to act like your father in some situacions. This is what we call in Scientology an aberation (a conclusion that is impose to you by a mental picture). This picture is what we call a engram; A pain memory that affects your judgement and free will.

4. A spirit is capable of considerations and ideas and this ideas are solely based on uglyness and beautyfullness. The spirit reject ugly things and intends on making everything beautyfull. Do you like your car, you house, your job, your friends? Are you friends nice with you? Can you improve things in your life? All these are ideas based on uglyness and beautyfullness. This is why the spirits rejects the ugly memories and by rejecting the ugly memories (not confronting them) he is unknowingly affected by them.

5. You can discharge the energy in this pictures true communication. This is Auditing, the Auditor directs your attention to this pictures regardless of how ugly they are and you confront the picture and discharge the energy of the picture true the communication line. Is like if you have battery, in order to discharge the battery you need to discharged against something. If you try to discharge it against your self is just going to chock you.

Scientology is a very interesting religion that takes years of study to master. I just mentioned a few fundamentals. Scientology is so advance and so different that people can't understand it. People think that they know everything there is to know about life. And when they see Scientology they jump to conclusions when in reality they don't have a clue what are they talking about. The reality is that man attacks what he can't understand. That's why Scientology gets so much bad press.

Answer 8

I don't have a religion, I go to hotels and write $hit in the bibles and the Mormon books(dishes in upstate NY,LOL) to warn those who may get sucked in, I was raised catholic, and the churches guilt held me back from decades of success.Hard to excel when you areconstantly worried about a pseudo nonexistent after life if you tell a white lie.

Answer 9

Really? I think I could believe that. I don't know if my religion has any deep dark secrets. I'm not as faithful as I should be. I'm a Christian.

Answer 10

My religion is Islam, it has no dark secret that we're not supposed to talk about...Islam is like an open book, for everyone to read
