Scientologistic Study
Oh, Tom, when will you ever learn?
Look, I’m pretty open minded about religious matters and seeking spirituality and all, but, when people are destroying their lives over their religious beliefs, I start to question the validity of the claims. But, when people start killing their own family as a result of those beliefs, I think it’s time to whip out the cult recognition questionaire. Look, therapy may not be the answer for everyone, nor are psychiatric drugs. Even when I was going through the worst of my depression last year, I resisted the use of drugs. My feeling was that it would simply compound my problem when I was weaned off them, but still, I don’t think they’re a bad thing. For instance, someone with severe mental problems and chemical imbalances can obviously benefit from this. So, why would any one follow a “religion” that would deny someone this aid? I don’t get it. Especially when the results have been proven over and over again and not in the favor of “vitamins, diet and exercise”. Is it any wonder that both Mimi Rodgers and Nicole Kiddman dropped Cruise like a bad habit? I mean, c’mon, how is he going to defend this pseudo-science against this? You know, now, I wonder how much of his “acting” is good work and how much of it is just a running hallucination.
Keep in mind, folks, Scientology was created by a science fiction writer named L. Ron Hubbard. Not a bad writer, mind, but he’s definately a pulp-fiction guy and so is Scientology. I mean, really, “thetans” that inhabit my body? An ancient, intergalactic war that took place in another dimension? Doesn’t this sound like the plot from some late-night, B-movie matinee? It sure does to me. Well, maybe people should just decide for themselves, but, you know, after they’ve had plenty of sleep and a decent meal. The opposite of the way Scientologists treat unruly “believers” who “stray”.
I’m waiting for my “Cease and Desist” letter now.
