Scientology Special Airs On The BBC Tonight - Does Xenu Know About This?
At the risk of being followed by men in black suits and randomly accused of raping babies, I would like to mention that the BBC will be airing a special on Scientology called: Scientology and Me, Panorama, Monday, 8:30 on the BBC UK.
British journalist John Sweeney investigates the crazy cult of whackadoodles we here in the states have come to mock as a joke, but those within the "religion" take all too seriously.
The religion is based on writings by science fiction writer Ron L. Hubbard who centered this religion on the belief that "75 million years ago an intergalactic space alien lord called Xenu kidnapped Thetans to earth, dumped them in volcanoes and blew them up with atomic bombs."
And if you are willing to pay vasts amounts of money you will learn more about Xenu and Thetans and once you get to the Operating Thetan Level Three, you learn about "The Incident".
If that doesn't pique your interest, then the fact that top Hollywood Superstar Tom Cruise, his wife Katie and their entire family are Scientologists. Not to mention John Travolta and his family, oh and apparently Jennifer Lopez's dad too.
Almost all religions are steeped in some sort of questionable circumstances by which a "mysticism" emerges and we are all supposed to accept them at face value. I am not trying to rain on Scientology's parade, but the three major religions of the world (Christianity, Islam and Judism - with Hindu/Buddhism bringing up the rear) have some basic positive aspects to offer. You know, the whole help the poor, do unto others, love thy neighbor as thy self, don't steal, don't kill - don't pimp thy neighbor's wife. All that shizzle.
If you take away all the B.S from the three biggies, there are some real fundamental similarities which offer some quality teachings on how to be a good human being. Unless you are an atheist, in which case you think you are better than everyone else anyway, so why bother being nice.
