DC Tom Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 L. Ron Hubbard was'nt crucified on a cross for my and your benefit. A pity, really.
Fan in San Diego Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 A pity, really. Yes if he was crucified until he died, was certified to be dead, and then came back to life three days later and could appear at places randomly from thin air, I would give Scientology a fair shot at being a religion.
Buftex Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Tom Cruise with Katie Holmes was like watching my uncle drink delicious Sam Adams after declaring it was horse piss.

eball Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 You would have to be more specific in your question for me to answer. But let me start with a general contrast of Christianity and Scientology. L. Ron Hubbard was'nt crucified on a cross for my and your benefit. Weren't crucifixions pretty common in the old days? It's religious dogma that has associated greatness with the particular passing of J.C. Anyway, aren't all organized religions based upon a random belief in something nobody is able to prove or disprove?
Rob's House Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 This seemed a fitting thread for this: Anderson Cooper is out of the closet... er, well, now it's official. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/anderson-cooper-gay-comes-154527163--finance.html
The Poojer Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 Good for him! I can't imagine having to keep something like that from getting out...and look what happens when he does....praise and congrats from every direction.

I can't imagine having to keep something like that from getting out...and look what happens when he does....praise and congrats from every direction. He didn't; that's why I posted it in this thread. My wife told me he was gay years ago, I thought everyone knew. (of course she's a former "fag-hag" and has well honed gaydar) Apparently he was dating some guy from one of the modeling reality shows.
The Poojer Posted July 2, 2012 Posted July 2, 2012 I didn't realize he was already 'that out'... I'd always heard the 'rumors'...I'm glad he made it official He didn't; that's why I posted it in this thread. My wife told me he was gay years ago, I thought everyone knew.

It's religious dogma that has associated greatness with the particular passing of J.C. Anyway, aren't all organized religions based upon a random belief in something nobody is able to prove or disprove? Pretty much. Whenever your discussing what the afterlife is about your surmising. Until you die and move on you can never be sure. And that's the rub. Myself, I believe in Eastern religions of the Yogi's more than western religions. Although agnostic books that were not included what we call the bible were very close to the Eastern religions which is why they were not included. The religious leaders of the day were trying to consolidate their power and the real meanings of Jesus's message were secondary. Edited July 3, 2012 by Fan in San Diego
DC Tom Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 Pretty much. Whenever your discussing what the afterlife is about your surmising. Until you die and move on you can never be sure. That's why it's called "faith" and not "science".
Dante Posted July 3, 2012 Posted July 3, 2012 I wonder how the Church of Scientology looks at divorce? Not very well apparently. This is kind of scary.

/dev/null Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Tom Cruise might be gay and Scientology® might be nutty? 1996 called and they want the Macaranea back
Tcali Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Tom Cruise might be gay and Scientology® might be nutty? 1996 called and they want the Macaranea back macarena--stolen from an old tyrone power movie---and made gay
Fan in San Diego Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Not very well apparently. This is kind of scary. Sounds more like a cult than a church. They hook you up to a polygraph machine for your interview?
Dante Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Sounds more like a cult than a church. They hook you up to a polygraph machine for your interview? They say it's to cleanse you but sounds more like it's to get something on you. Good luck to Katie.
Fan in San Diego Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 They say it's to cleanse you but sounds more like it's to get something on you. Good luck to Katie. Yes it sounds like they want you to say something embarrassing or illegal so they can use it as leverage later on if need be. Tom must be gay and that's their leverage on him.
