Ever think that there are people who study Scientology on this site? When you say "**** Scientology," you could be making enemies.

I don't study Scientology, as I'm sure you all know I have a religion.

I think it's funny that they no longer show the episode of South Park that criticizes Scientology and questions Tom Cruise's heterosexuality.  I was lucky to see it the night it originally aired (though it was actually a pretty stupid episode).

« Reply #6 on: June 27, 2006, 07:37:31 PM »
I bet The Church of Scientology told Comedy Central or any other station that shows South Park to never show that episode again. They have a real problem with copyright infridgement. GROW UP, PEOPLE!

Nintendo Bros.'s first link on this thread is a perfect example of why I can't take religion seriously at all.

All those other ones are parodies and mostly didn't happen.

Was that the one where they started to worship Stan, or was that some other cult?

Yeah, they worshipped Stan as the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard.  It was Tom Cruise who got Comedy Central to stop airing the episode; whether he did it because they ridiculed Scientology or because they implied he was gay is anyone's guess.

« Reply #12 on: June 27, 2006, 08:47:48 PM »
I like how Tom Cruise gets so angry when people question or poke fun at his beliefs. He's crazy, I've known that for quite awhile. His face tells all.

I was also lucky enough to see the episode when it first aired.  Though I have to agree, it was kind of a stupid episode.

I'm surprised no one's posted a link to "Tom Cruise kills Oprah" yet. Guess everyone's already seen it.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Let me clear this up: That episode of South Park was taken down because Isaac Hayes is a Scientologist, and didn't like their portrayal of it. The whole "closet" thing was actually more of a jab at R. Kelly, although they definately implied Tom Cruise was gay, mostly as a lighthearted joke. And it's legal to do so, under Parody Law, stating that it's okay to make fun of people because it's all in good fun.

Isaac Hayes quit the show.  They wrote out the character Chef by turning him into "Darth Chef" in a Star Wars Episode III parody.  So they didn't stop showing the episode to please Isaac Hayes; he quit anyway.

« Reply #18 on: June 29, 2006, 03:27:35 AM »
The reason that episode stopped showing has to do with Mission Impossible 3 commercials. But I can't remember the details. Something about some company owning some other company. I'm sure you can read about it online. Look it up, people. It's a fact.

It will die out after awhile, I just don't like the celebrity promotion of religions, it gets too out of hand.  Like Cabalism used to be a respected religion of the sort untill it was seen as a celeb fad.  Religions shouldn't be fads, they should be something you deeply beleive in, and something most sacred.

When Bertrand Russell was imprisoned in 1918 for his opposition to the war, the jailer, following prison routine, asked Russell for his religion. Russell said he was an agnostic. The jailer, after some initial bewilderment, brightened and said "I guess it's all right. We all worship the same God, don't we?"

That video had creepy music, I didn't watch the whole thing.

Personally, I guess I don't believe in Scientology.  Dictionary.com didn't exactly enlighten me too much about what it was.

I'm not sure if Agnosticism is really a religion.  I'm mean I could see a person having the status of being unsure of God's existence for a long time, but for it to be a religion you'd probably have to think about your unsureness all the time.  I don't see how you can firmly say, "I am an agnostic, and I firmly believe that God may or may not exist."  It just seems too incomplete to be called a religion.  No offense to Agnostics, God's existence is a really tough subject.

As for Atheism, I wish the word itself didn't sound so assertive.  When a person says, "I'm an atheist", I always thought it sounded like that person must be looking down on those who believe in the existence of God.  But I'm sure that's not the case at all.  If you say, "I don't believe in God, personally", it sounds more normal.  Something about the way "atheist" sounds is odd.  No offense to Atheists either, it's your own choice to make, not mine.  There's gotta be a cooler word for it, though.  Like Seventh-Day Absentist or something.  But I guess that would apply to all that don't go to Sunday church.

But how is it a religion? Unless you mean that they're being self-conscious about being indecisive about the existence of God. I could see how that could be defined as a "religion".
That was a joke.

Well, it's hard to explain, but this is what I THINK it is.


A long, long time ago, the ruler of the universe (some wierd alien guy) sent his people down to Earth and for no reason at all, nuked the volcanoes, destroying them over time. Then we came along and we get sad or angry because the alien's spirit's lock on to our bodies. The sadness has "tricked" us into religion and everything we hold sacred. They offer some way to get away from the world through rituals.  This was all made up by the writer in the video Nintendo Bros. showed us. Yes, it's total BS.

It's kind of a fad with celebs. Celebs, having no faith in anything at all, just pick up whatever they can find. It really makes me angry.

In that case, here's my theory on life. God is a being with only the power to create, so he tried to create a variety of beings with the ability to do other things. One of his earliest experiments was the dinosaur, but they were a bit too big, so God kept trying until he got to monkeys and then humans, one of the the most advanced beings in terms of ability. So since God could only create, we cannot, but we can try to help God out by keeping ourselves alive as long as possible and geting as much as we can out of that life. Sound good?

Dude you could make a religion out of that theory! You can call it Simplicionism. Charge 3 bucks for "secret classes" that teach people to become true Simplicionists, you'll make like 9 bucks. You can go to the movies and see Superman Returns or maybe the new Pirates movie.
