Xenu was an evil galactic overlord who kidnapped millions of aliens and stacked them into volcanos on earth. He then blew up the aliens with atomic bombs. When the alien spirits fled their destroyed bodies, Xenu used "soul suckers" to vacuum up all of the souls and then he put them into special movie theaters where the souls, called Thetans, were brainwashed into believing in Jesus, Mohammad, Buddha, etc. They were then released from the movie theaters and now they attach themselves to humans, causing us to believe in various religions. A scientologist works to clear him/herself of Thetans, so that he/she will be "clear". Then they will gain all sorts of magical powers.

You can watch an episode of South Park that details some of the true beliefs of scientologists.

Scientology has sued several groups for talking about Xenu, etc, because they claim it to be confidential church information.

My point exactly, any of this is so far from actual reality

Makes me sick..Literally

i should have known that was a christian dating site.

What I dont get? How do you just "make" a religion?

Trust me, for a writer, not as hard as you would think. Especially if you start trying to look into it and research it.

Especially not for a sci-fi writer. Sci-fi and fantasy writer have been inventing religions for their stories for a long time.

I am not a scientologist...

your info comes from media...not actual sources.

good be done, at least you won't be lieing to people.

you are quoting south park.... to prove a point... well on south park they also have talking sh*t and stevie nicks is a goat... nice to see where you get your intellectual stimulation.

do you think that maybe scientologist are angry because people think they believe in aliens and that is why they sue for slander as it can ruin lives of profesional individulals and put their parenthood in jeapardy?

Here is a web addrss to some of the FBI files on Scientology.

To those who say it's just a "media" thing.

I don't understand what you are saying here- do you mean that none of the media anywhere are reliable at all? What "actual sources" would you accept then?

It seems to me that you are saying people should only accept what they personally have experienced? Am I misunderstanding you?

the media is a business and scandal sells, yes, there are reliable NON PARTIAL media sources, but none of them have been quoted or sited here. The New York Times has been sued for their "fact checkers" not checking their facts on more occasions than the courts can even keep up with. The news media used to be impartial, it no longer is now that their focus is on profit and not actual news.

from the net...


Nor has Scientology been very consistent in its claims. As recently as 1994, it has claimed that Hubbard received 29 awards ("The Church of Scientology: 40th Anniversary", 1994). Hubbard himself claimed 27 medals. In an unsuccessful attempt to obtain from the US Navy the medals to which he believed he was entitled but had not received, he ordered his staff to write to the Navy to request his medals. His claims were detailed in Flag Operations Liaison Memo of May 28, 1974 (the list is considerably different to that circulated by Scientology today):

Navy Commendation Medal with 1 Bronze Star.
Purple Heart.
Naval Reserve Medal.
Organized Marine Corps Reserve Medal.
(British) The 1939-45 War Medal.
(French) Medaille Commemorative Française 1939-45.
(Netherlands) Bronzen Kruis.
Philippine Defence with 3 Silver Stars.
American Defence Service Medal with 1 Bronze Star.
American Campaign Medal with 2 Bronze Stars.
Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal with 2 Bronze Stars.
European African Middle Eastern Campaign Medal (ETO Medal) with 1
Bronze Star.
WWII Victory Medal.
National Defence Medal.
Armed Forces Reserve Medal.
Navy Expert Rifleman.
Navy Expert Pistol Shot.

In reply, the Navy observed that Hubbard's service record showed that he had only been awarded four decorations - the American Defense Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal and World War 2 Victory Medal - and sent only those four medals back to the Church of Scientology.

The purported notice of separation distributed by Scientology does not appear in Hubbard's US Navy file. Instead, a quite different document is present. The only known source for the first document is the Church of Scientology. Irrespective of the document's or the Church's merits, this in itself is enough to cast suspicion on its authenticity. The US Navy document at least has an auditable trail - we know where it has been (in the possession of the US Navy), we know who produced it (the Bureau of Naval Personnel) and we know how and when it was obtained (on various occasions through the Freedom of Information Act). The Church of Scientology has released none of these details about its version of the document. Any historian would rightly be suspicious of a document with untraceable origins.

Analysing the document in details reveal numerous points which cast doubt on its authenticity. The most obvious is its tally of medals awarded to Hubbard, which differs greatly from that held in Hubbard's official file. A close examination shows that Hubbard could not possibly have been awarded some of the medals listed....

If he can't tell the truth about him self. How can he be writing books about the truths of life.
