Go to southparkzone.com, click season 9 and watch the episode "Trapped In The Closet." They give a whole interpretation of the story of Scientology that is very informative...and funny.

Answer 3

Definition: a controversial belief system developed by L. Ron Hubbard, based on a person being an immortal spiritual being whose survival depends on him/herself and his/her attainment of brotherhood with others and the universe


My explanation: A belief system which in its core is said to believe: An alien Xenu (pronouced Zenu), rules a section of space (and the planets), he gets the idea of wanting power and has these creatures come to him and he traps them and puts them in a volcano and drops H-bombs on them. When said creatures die, their souls float upwards, and then Xenu catches them in "spiritual nets" (I guess you could call them that), then he sent them on bus to movie theatures showing images of Christ, war, and other belief systems to brainwash them.

Then, after the movie showing, they exited the theature, and massed into one being (because they all believe the same, and think they are all one). Then they some how entered the caveman, and fused with man's soul sorta speak. Meanwhile Xenu is captured and put into a jail with a force field, where he is held for eternity. The spirits in mankind is evil, and why we believe in Jesus, and other things (which were shown on the screen).

So knowing this, we now have an E-Meter (which L Ron Hubbard did not even invent, yet claims he did). Which some what is to show how much of the evil spirits are in you, yet it really just reacts to the electric currents in your body some how. Thus you must pay the church for these lessons and move up the "ranks". Once your high enough you learn everything you just heard, and can not speak to anyone about it (if they learn it, they become sick and die of illness from not being able to handle the truth).

It is believed the highest "ranks" learn psychic powers and such (which really is funny because Phenomenom is ....real in their eyes, if you ever have seen it, a scientologist plays in that movie as the main character, having semi-psychic powers and then dies of a tumour of some sort).

There is a lot of consperiousy about the belief system however, because there have been deaths around involvement with the "church", and journalist getting ready to submit their interviews are hurt and threatened, pictures of people looking at the building are photographed and kept in storage of personal records. Plus in the book of scientology L. Ron Hubbard says to kill (actually the wording is "destroy") those who mock and try to hurt the religion. Thus is why people believe the conspiracy about the church killing people.

They also are told to believe that mental illness (scizophrenia and such) are the evil in the people and they have "treatment" which is how one person got killed because they didn't allow her to eat or something. Plenty of people are mad at the church, and now they have a city of scientologist, where they made a line you cannot cross (they pay cops to watch it), at certain times, otherwise your fined or something from what I hear.

Just google scientoloy and go to wikipedia, or youtube - they have some interesting stuff there. Think I'm making it up? check it out! lol (My friend I told this too thought I was, then he checked and was like "OH MY GOSH!" lol).

P.S. Who is L. Ron Hubbard? The very man who wrote the "Battlefeild Earth" book which turned into a movie (not the best one either).

Answer 4

Scientology is a brain washing cult started by a 2nd-rate science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard. Its main tactic is to convince people that they are unhappy because their bodies are infested with the ghosts of dead aliens that have haunted the Earth for millions of years. In order to cleanse oneself of these ghosts, or "thetans," one must pay the Church of Scientology lots of money to go through therapy sessions. These sessions are actually a form of brainwashing, where the gullible victim is denied sensory input, abused, starved, and other traditional techniques are used to break down the individual's ability to think critically.

Scientology keeps criticism of its practices out of the media through aggressive use of baseless, harassing lawsuits. It is a basic tactic of Scientology to harass anyone who threatens Scientology and complete ruin their lives.

Answer 5

A cult that has very expensive membership fees.

*Edit* -- What the hell? Someone beat me to my answer. Okay, Scientology is also a bad L. Ron Hubbard sci-fi story posing as a religion.
