Timmah, it always struck me as Iron Age mind control.

Convince people to police their own thoughts and actions under threat of something very bad forthcoming from an invisible, inscrutable, unknowable, omnipotent and omnipresent being, and the king’s job gets much easier.

Get them to tell about their bad thoughts and deeds, and the king’s job gets easier still.

If they’re skeptical, tell ‘em that they’ll get those same consequences even if they ignore the whole rigmarole. Then cinch the deal with promises of eternal life and paradise.

It’s hard to deceive and dominate the people with all those freethinkers running around, questioning authority, using logic, breaking the natural rhythm of the goose step. Perhaps that’s why athiests rank with child molesters in the national psyche.

Marx was wrong. Religion is really the Ritalin of the masses. Sit down, shut up, write your name 100 times, and get to work. Good boy.

What is it with religions where they think that private sexual thoughts need to be confessed to some sort of moral authority?
The whole thing just seems really creepy to me.

Come to think of it, I wonder what any normal person would say about something like that.
You guys can forget I mentioned this, right?

I’m not sure it’s a good idea to assume that normal people read this blog.

Don’t worry, Brad. My fantasies of having sex with women with unshaven legs probably trumps yours.

I’ve worn a chicken suit. There is nothing erotic about it. Trust me.

“Well didn’t Jesus beckon the little children to “cum unto him”?”

Bukkake Jesus?

Exactly right about Nancy Cartwright, Anne. I don’t think so about Yeardley Smith.

Also the airhead Jenna Elfman.

Seriously, this is some of the SANER stuff coming out of $cientology. You guys don’t know about the Gorilla Goals yet…

Hubbard was a wife-abuser and child-abuser who had a real “thing” about “attempted abortions.” Misogynist to the core.

Seriously, that sounds like the synopsis of a Simpsons episode.

Hold on to your butts: I do believe that Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart) and …the voice of Lisa (whatever her name is) are Scientologists.

“Is pedophillia okay then? (I have no shame)”

Hubbard called Jesus a pedophile, which is interesting since he also claims Jesus is an implanted memory.

$cientology – Scum of the Universe.

Thanks for that link, JK47.

Xenu is said to have dumped his surplus population around volcanoes like this one on Hawaii and blown them up with hydrogen bombs.

At the moment I can’t stop laughing at the thought that there are people that actually believe this. I think I’ll start crying soon. I mean really. Really!!

A crappy sci-fi writer comes up with a religion that sounds like a crappy sci-fi movie and you can only learn the bestest secrets if you give them lots and lots of money. Seriously, that sounds like the synopsis of a Simpsons episode.

In [Dianetics], Hubbard denounced virtually every sexual practice that doesn’t directly relate to marriage and children. [...]

Not going to make the obvious joke. NOT going to do it…must be strong…

Don’t worry, Brad, it’s our secret. But just remember, someone has to work the camera, OK? Call me.
