Thoughts?

big hairy cocks

so is the internet like voltron? a bunch of servers and nerds are going to form a gigantic robot and squash isaac hayes, tom cruise and the scientology center in l.a.?

Well at least they're getting out of their basements and getting some sun.


But as for this:




Catholicism: $0? Think again.

don't forget their headquarters in sunny downtown clearwater. i used to live in the clearwater area (i still live about 30 minutes away) and every time i would go to the beach i would see bus loads of people dressed the same go into their headquarters.

I never had to pay anything..

What is that supposed to be? A tax man? Or is he selling indulgences? Either way that shit is in the past for the Catholic church now, no way could they get away with it anymore. I'm not saying the system isn't corrupt, I'm just saying as a member of the Catcholic church I've never had to pay any money into it. I've been asked to donate, but thats not mandatory.

Something like that, although it'll be the many parts voltron rather than the 5 cat voltron.

I was criticizing the idea that Catholicism never profited off the congregation. I didn't mean for it to be a criticism of contemporary Catholicism.

Catholicism is historically one of the most corrupt religions ever.

it's not particularly more rotten than others, it just has a longer history that's all

hold on, what? sorry i wasn't listening, i was just buying my way out of purgatory.

compare with the moonies, scientology, jim jones, david koresh, jimmy swaggart, the 700 club, jerry falwell, & all the motherfucking televangelists, the taliban, etc.

history.

they should all get together. i think they could really accomplish something if they used teamwork.

i dont believe in the afterlife, and i think falwells worms died of cholesterol overdose

NO!!!! IT'S A SERIES OF TUBES!!!!!!!12321040584058604860:mad::mad::mad::ma d:

too late, ha ha, but look:

i grew up catholic and we never gave a dirty cent though, except for the mass on sundays when they pass the basket and you throw in a couple of small bills.

and all things considered my catholic school tuition was a good bang for the buck.

if i wouldve been raised by my dad i wouldve been raised catholic
thank god for mums who don't give a shit

i doesnt really matter if we believe in after life or not
if there isnt then we wont know anyway, and if there is then its sweet

I want to go to the Headquarters in here in L.A. and join. But I am not rich enough so nevermind.

Scientology is the scammiest of all scams. Bout time it dissapeared off the face of the earth, eh?

it's amazing that they could actually create a religion (a cult more like) from SCIENCE FICTION.

We should do one based on Sonic Youth.

lord no. please.

it's interesting to me that, having so many slaughters and genocides going on around the world by so many creeds, scientology is the only pseudoreligion that people are trying to take down, when all it is is rich famous people talking about aliens and shit.

Because people hate celebrities. And the others are too strong already. They want to nip this one in the bud. However, I think it is late for that.

honestly yeah you're right. i don't really give a fuck. i think they're crazy. they probably think i'm crazy. it's all good.

...whose author once claimed that religion would be a good way to make money

well he's right. i mean that's not what it's supposed to be for. but if you can make a buck off something...you know my feelings on that.

funny we're discussing this on oscar night.

Are there any Oscar Scientologist?

I don't really think that people like Tom Cruise ACTUALLY believe any of that stuff...

I think they're just getting payed to promote it, so that mindless drones can join up and pay cash to the heads of the cult.

part of the whole dianetics spiel is that a person can gain power over people by their body language and speech. it's appealing to rich and famous people because they make them think they can gain power. of course, most of what it promotes are half truths and obviously doesn't work, seeing how many people in the world think tom cruise is a douchebag.

Tom Cruise is hurting Scientology.

I'm wondering then if it's the fame that makes them like that, or is it that exact personality that makes them famous?

I'm also curious as to wheather there are Scientology members on this here message board? C'mon, don't be shy.

as i have stated before, i do not subscribe to any religious beliefs.

Neither. Would it matter if I went to hell anyway? There'd be loads of my fellow atheists (though I spose they wouldn't be atheists once they got to hell as it would be rather obvious that religion was right)
