It’s that time again

Once a year I become so enraged over scientology that I post something. This shall be brief.

Comedy Central pulled a repeat of the South Park episode mocking scientology, purportedly after pressure from he who shall not be named who threatened Viacom, saying he’d pull out of the promotions for Mission Impossible 14.

I said I would keep this brief, so here’s the fundamental issue I have:

Crazy brainwashing cult created by a shitty science fiction writer. That’s it. The whole bushel of corn.

You’d think people would shy away from a “religion” that sprang up overnight from the mind of a shitty writer. You’d think that people might be wary about “religions” that charge exorbitant sums of money. You’d think that people would be hesitant about a “religion” where locking people in rooms is common practice.

You’d think people would just say no to a church who was FOUND GUILTY
of charges relating to infiltration of the Ontario government and 3 police forces in the 1970’s and fined $250,000.

You’d think a lot of things, but you’d be wrong. Because people are fucking nuts.

I’m done.

Best ever article on scientology, from Rolling Stone.

Short, fun article on scientology.

I still can't believe they litigated their way into being a bonified church in the US, therefore gaining tax-free status. You can apparently sue your way to almost anything there.

Dude, I tried really hard to read that fucking article. I don't know if you knew it or not, but the fucker is long as shit. I mean, I got the basic point after the first seven pages. Wasn't much use in reading the remaining 41.

But yeah, those scientology guys are off the reservation.

Yeah, it's 13,000 words. But the end is really good.
