Is what they said in the scientology episode of south park really what they believe?

Answer 1

http://www.xenu.net/ is a comprehensive resource for scientology information.

It's an evil cult designed to make money and nothing else . Its effects on believers are destructive - Check out http://www.lisamcpherson.org/ , a victim of the cult who was starved to death.

Read "the road to xenu" - http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/Library/Shelf/xenu/ - an account of a girl who escaped scientology after 12 years!

The cult's core belief - no, I am not kidding here! - in the words of the founder:

"The head of the Galactic Federation (76 planets around larger stars visible from here) (founded 5,000,000 years ago, very space opera) solved overpopulation (250 billion or so per planet, 178 billion on average) by mass implanting. He caused people to be brought to Teegeeack (Earth) and put an H-Bomb on the principal volcanos (Incident II) and then the Pacific area ones were taken in boxes to Hawaii and the Atlantic area ones to Las Palmas and there "packaged".

His name was Xenu. He used renegades. Various misleading data by means of circuits etc. was placed in the implants.

When through with his crime loyal officers (to the people) captured him after six years of battle and put him in an electronic mountain trap where he still is. "They" are gone. The place (Confederation) has since been a desert. The length and brutality of it all was such that this Confederation never recovered. The implant is calculated to kill (by pneumonia etc) anyone who attempts to solve it. This liability has been dispensed with by my tech development.

One can freewheel through the implant and die unless it is approached as precisely outlined. The "freewheel" (auto-running on and on) lasts too long, denies sleep etc and one dies. So be careful to do only Incidents I and II as given and not plow around and fail to complete one thetan at a time.

In December 1967 I knew someone had to take the plunge. I did and emerged very knocked out, but alive. Probably the only one ever to do so in 75,000,000 years. I have all the data now, but only that given here is needful.

One's body is a mass of individual thetans stuck to oneself or to the body.

One has to clean them off by running incident II and Incident I. It is a long job, requiring care, patience and good auditing. You are running beings. They respond like any preclear. Some large, some small.

Thetans believed they were one. This is the primary error. Good luck."

Answer 2

It might've been exaggerated a bit, but for the most part, yeah. It's just a big scam, really.
But then again, so are most religions shortly after they've started. Look at Christianity. A few hundred years from now Scientology could be the world's #1 religion too.

Answer 3

Sort of. Scientology is a cult started by Sci-Fi writer L. Ron Hubbard, who at one time was a follower of Aleister Crowley. They use a system called "auditing" on their members, which is really just hypnosis.

Answer 4

You are kidding, right? Do you watch South Park? Have you seen their segments on Christianity, Boy Scouts, Wallmart, steroids, aids. Pick one you know something about and consider that question about it.

I guess it might be what they believe. I hung around them for a couple of years and took some courses but I didnt hear any of that. Apparently its "secret top-level" stuff. Kindof like watching the south park christian segment and asking "is that what the pope really believes".

In any case, I dont think I would want to list South Park as my source.

Answer 5

it's based on what it really is. yes scientology is a cult and a dangerous one that brainwashes you to give them your money and then make you comit suicide.

watch this.
