    trig, what would be really good is creating a seperate post/attatchment with all the two's and fro's so that its an easy mail thread to follow as if he starts answering this could be genuinly interesting to follow.

    From what I know 'Xenu' should be classed as a 'Devil/Anti-Christ' figure, as he commited the Thetan genocide on Earth/persecution of the Thetan's.

    I'm not sure that Scientology actualy has a God/Supreme Being figure at all ? (but it does have a leader/figurehead).

    I read (or heard somewhere) that the highest level of Scientology teaches there is no God or supreme being at all.

    Whether this is true or not I have no idea... so probably not that much of a help.. it was on an anti-scientology site/program somewhere.

    No reply, guessing he's busy doing something else...

    From what I have read elsewhere today tho it would appear there are two seperate groups, the people that follow Scientology as an idea and then theres the CoS which appears to be the dangerous side of things, ran by one man who has copyrighted and owns the patents too Scientology and Dianetics....

    Main proponents of Scientology: a hack book writer who just never did anything as well as Stephen King and various vapid Hollywood socialites/stars. It's either a big joke or it's just for people with too much money and time on their hands. Window lickers the lot of 'em.

    Besides, everybody knows if aliens come to Earth they're just going to wipe us out - probably starting with the Scientologists.


    Guess which side i'm on?

    And that its just a load of made up silly stuff, I'd have thought.

    If Xenu is real, Keith the magic karate frog is real, and fool, you better believe Keith the magic karate frog aint real.

    Although all this stuff is a joke, lets be honest, its no more of a joke than the mush the Bible teaches us about creation, and no more far fetched.

    Its just that one set of gulible people choose to believe in teh Gods!!11!

    And others in teh Xenu!!1!

    that's not grounds for it not to be a religion, under our politically correct, bleeding heart liberal bureaucratic rules

    not being a religion is
