Good stuff that, especially the soulcatcher. I'd have to admit that it's more imaginative than that Original sin/Immaculate Deception stuff that is also doing the rounds.Quote:

Stan : its way more retarded :D
Scientology is ridiculous but then again so is believing that some dudes body and blood are available for consumption in a church every week and that his mother was a virgin.
All religions don't make sense.
Our planet has existed for billions and billions of years - humans have only been on the planet for a very very short time. If there was some sort of god why would he make a planet and then wait billions of years to make an intelligent life form - thats just plain lazy.
There is no time in heaven , allthough he only had a week to finish the job ?? :confused: :DQuote:

And if he does exist then who made him or is he so great that he made himself - but how could he do that? Santa Claus makes more sense.
So many holes and so few answers - thats what religions, including Scientology, are all about.
Fear of the unknown is what drives all religions. Any explanation regardless of how far fetched it might appear is preferable to saying "Actually I have no idea what we are all doing here or what happens when we die".
Personally I think you either accept the scientific proof of evolution or you believe in a "creation" based religion, it's a black & white issue.
Yawn!! Plenty of sceintific theories put forward about it. None have been proven yet - but they will one day. Why would someone just create a bang and hope for the best if he has the power to create anything - again just plain laziness. Or maybe because they just don't exist.Quote:

Sorry - religous zealots having being annoying me lately and I'm easily pushed into my atheism rant.Quote:

Overall fairly shoddy work by the BBC but then again Panorama standards are hopeless in recent years - remember the football bung "revelations"?
:rolleyes:
BTW South Park is great source of info for religions - Mormons, Scientology, Atheists :)
Is that a religion against a religion ?Quote:
