Scientology ?

[lunaloco]

Has anyone else noticed the Scientology banner at the top of the KC home page?

 

I'm interested in ordering the book, just to see what their take on common subjects in life is ...

 

Did anyone read it already ? What are your takes on this "religion"?

[L60N]

Get the book, then begin your journey to meeting da aliens!

[Batz]

LOL! Yeah the banner has been discussed. I'd be interested in a read LOL!

[lunaloco]

going to the book store later this afternoon to see if they have the book. I'm always interested in seeing their take on life.

 

As with every religion, it's up to what you can make people believe isn't it L6on? ;c)

It seems that Scientology is trying to purport itself more as a self help program, rather than a religion:

 

What is Scientology

 

So where are da aliens in the "about us" page? "Thetan" thingys..

I've read it, its an interesting read. Definitely as believable as a virgin giving birth to a guy who can heal lepers. Overall would give it 4 stars

I'd be tempted to get the book to read it for a chuckle but I'd imagine that once you've had a copy delivered, you'll be stuck on their mailing list forever more!

Also, you'd end up looking like this after reading it:

you can buy it from a common book store ... that's what I'm going to do, since I have the same concerns as you ... AND they need your credit card details to order the book (because you need to pay for it obviously) ... and we all know they like some good cash flow at Scientology ...

[beth1974uk]

Loads of the books on eBay..

[yoda]

dont get on thier mailing list for gods sake they are an absolute pain in te arse an never ever give them your phone number:o:confused:

it was made up by a fiction writer 10 yrs after he said he wud make his own religion so why do people believe it

[g_y]

why do people believe the bible?

[harry_a]

why do people believe the bible?

 

hundreds of years of social conditioning

 

i'm mildy terrified how far this pile of bullshit has come in decades to be honest!

[lunaloco]

hundreds of years of social conditioning

 

same as with any other religion.

 

The bookstore should have a copy available this week so I'm getting the book. I'm just interested in seeing what their take on life's issues is :-)

Scientology was completely made up by science fiction author L Ron Hubbard. It is like so many contrived American 'churches' - it's just a scheme to screw vast amounts of money from the thicko's who sign up to the congregation. I wouldn't even claim that these people are brainwashed as that suggests there was a brain there in the first place.

 

Don't give money to these scam artists - buy a kite

[RedSky]

Ron Haubbard! Wasn't that the dude who did the music for the Commodore 64 ? ...sorry, continue.

[azbree]

comparing 1 of the major 5 religions born in different times to a sci fi authors own fiction is a bit far fetched jesus never said im going to make up a religion sum wat like the books ive already published its crazy

[Sammy1599968740]

i think it founds fucking wicked!!

Flying a spaceship and battling aliens! fuck yes! beats all these nutters paying to see some bloke in a bulletproof white van. I'd rather be known as a nutter who believes in starfighters and lasers thank you very much!

[kiteboysi]

to be honest with everyone why is a so called "religion"(cult) being advetised on this site. kite companys and kite related products yes, but i think that this should be removed from the site or can we have some of richard dawkins books advertised here aswell!!! just to balance up things.

[lunaloco]

it's a google ad banner so I don't think Neil can control the content of the adverts. To be honest, these Scientology ads are all over the internet lately, so I think they just launched a campaign via Google ads. Plus, the more we write about it, the more this banner will be shown (keywords, references, etc.).

[kiteboysi]

Best thing to do is not use the s word. so if i use the word atheist at lot will we get a banner add for The British Humanist Association
