Scientology, the truth

Tweet

Well some of it anyway. Let me first start by saying im new here and this is my first discussion, and I hope to see atleast some interested people in what I have to write. I have been a critic of Scientology for a while, but well not any big time, but I been reading a lot of texts and articles and watching a lot of videos educating myself of the "Church" of Scientology. Scientology was created like 50-60 years ago (im too lazy to check the actual date right now) by a Science Fiction writer named L Ron Hubert. He was a small time sci-fi writer that managed to build up what today is the "religion" of Scientology. He is quoted saying: "If a man really wanted to make a million bucks he would start his own religion". And thats what he did. He made a religion based around practicly brainwashing its members into believing something that is so far out there you are just left staring at the wall thinking "huh is this for real" when hearing it. Scientology is based around the belief of that ages and ages ago, the evil galactic overlord Xenu dealt with the overcrowded planet by throwing us all in a volcano and killing us. Then he captured the souls of us in soul catchers and sent the souls back to earth and brainwashed them so they were floating mindlessy around. Now when the humans first arrived the souls took the humans bodies and that are us today, the reason wer so confused and dont know the reason of our own existance is because of the brainwashing overlord xenu did back then. Now this is pretty insane right? How could someone take this for real? Well the genius of Scientology is to base their beliefs around learning people a bit of the religion at the time, and learning about xenu isn't something you will do until the very end. It starts off with very normal things, like courses that will teach you how to be a better person, and how to be happer or how to earn a bit more money at work. And you do pay for every course, this is not your average religion. So yeah you heard right, religion isn't free. So by the time you actually learn about Xenu you are so brainwashed (And broke) that you actually find the story likely, and believe it. And this, the cult of scientology gets away with. There is so much to Scientology I could cover, but I am going to save some for later to see the interest of this here, before writing my hands sore. Thanks for reading.
