Wow you even have your own space plane! Can we all go for a ride in it. Just not to any vulcanos mind you. Your past track record with them isn't very good!

[CylonGodess]

That's cool I always wonder if Xenu has a meaning on it or not. My real name it's actually famous too. I'll post it later on...

Thanks for the link and the chuckle, Xenu.

I still believe Hubbard's invented religion simply can't compare to Bokononism (thank you Kurt V.) Of course, I don't think Vonnegut ever charged $20k for a copy of Cat's Cradle.

This just proves my theory that L. Ron Hubbard invented Scientology to give Creationists and Evolutionists something to agree upon--namely that L. Ron Hubbard was nuts!

Sticky souls, hydrogen bombs, volcanoes......

I dont know,...is that any nuttier than eating your savior so you can go to heaven?

Well, it's no less nutty than that Heaven's Gate cult in California who shaved their heads and cut off their nuts in order to catch a ride with the Hale-Bopp comet.

cut off....... ouch

Yup. As a "Cylon Darwinist" I'm sure you fully appreciate the herd thinning actions of that cult. Anyone who believes they can catch a ride to Heaven on the Hale-Bopp comet should not be procreating.

I should invent my own religion and then sell it as a self-help and diet regiment.... I'd rake in the dough!

Hey Xenu, not sure if you've heard of this but there's an aussie humorist/prankster called John Safran who's skewered Scientology on two of his hilarious series.

On the first, "John Safran's Music Jamboree" he poses as Beck (yes Beck) at the 2001 Melbourne What Is Scientology expo to discover whether Beck is indeed a scientologist. After all the Beckmiester may be married to one, be the son of one and have a band member and his manager in the cult, but he's never gone public with it.

Part of the fun comes from seeing the reps from the church attempt to give him the sales pitch as he bugs them with annoying questions (asking if operating the e-meter is as complicated as running two turntables and a microphone, for one) and they try to keep him on track.

The second one (which actually did offend the COS) comes from his most recent show John Safran Vs God, where he explores the link between multi millionaire Jamie Packer (who's father, Kerry Packer owns Channel Nine, the station that airs Star Trek here) and the cult.

John imagines what Channel Nine would be like if Jamie inherited the network from his Dad and remade in Hubbard's image. Some featured programs include:

-Who Wants To Be An Opertating Thetan Level VII?

-This Is Your Past Life (Where John reunites an average Joe from the suburbs with his old friend Warlord Xenu!)

-Hubbard L Bear, a kiddy show with a happy Bear mascot with Ron's face and cute teddy bear ears!

-Battlefield Earth, every night at 8.30!

If there aren't any specific clips there, both series are easy to buy on DVD and are well worth the time!
