not a word against the jews and the zionists in his entire speech, they must be perfect !
"Is it painful?" lol I miss this show. Wish they'd reboot it with James Spader again. This show did such a good job breaking down current events and political issues. The writing was excellent. I miss it.
If your kid ask what scientology is show them this.
Yuk indeed
yuck! lol
It’s true.
According to IMDb James spader embraced scientology in 1990....this must have made him popular with uncle xenu😮
Fantastic and hilariously satisfying! Yes, you can do and justify e.th. with your own illusion of a "god".... All the powerful, influential and misogyn religious organisations are male inventions and male powerhouses, worldwide SADLY SUPPORTED by gullible; needy and deplorable people. All rel. became powerful through opression, murder, robbery (of property etc. ). Religious ideas, ridiculous orders and illusions are far from being "private", it's politics, and they still cost a lot of money and lives worldwide....
Scientology is a cult
،👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Allen right...❤🌹🌹..
Scientology is a cult designed to seduce idiots into parting with their money and free will.
That is true of most religions. Scientology gets a bad rap because it's newer. If it survives for a few more centuries, it will become as "respectable" as the more established religions. This is not about logic but about endurance.
@@Dan210871 Unfortunately you are right.
@@BoogieWoogieCat Thanks for the reply. I have to admit that I hate being right, because it confirms the world is a bleak place.
If it weren't Scientology, but Alcoholics Anonymous, that was being pilloried, here, they surely wouldn't have lacked controversial material, with which to work with, either. There's much that AA tries to keep a lid on.
But for some bizarre reason, AA is treated as more or less sacrosanct, in comparison to other cults, such as the Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, etc. But this is likely due to there being so great an amount of revenue generation attached to it, than for any moral consideration--the tobacco/liquor industry lobbies, being prime examples. One thing about AA, that I've always found inane, is its claim, that one will always be an alcoholic, despite how long one has been abstinent. But yet, do you still call someone who quit smoking, a year ago, a smoker? Most who venerate AA (many of whom, know nothing about it) probably suffer from the 'Emperor's New Clothes' effect (logical fallacy): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Emperor%27s_New_Clothes#Use_as_an_idiom
AA also saves many lives. Try again.
@@Gurl-5150 You guys always have these pathetically simplistic, unsubstantiated pat answers, that prove nothing. I'd think it was you, who should try again. But what else should I expect, from such an anti-intellectual outfit, such as AA? As well, you guys will try to protect some of your members who are guilty of sexual predation/ assault, against female members. That alone, proves you to be a cult. You guys are a joke. Go pray to your light build or door knob.
@@Gurl-5150 AA admits to a 5% success rate, is based on nothing, and has had a consistent and pernicious effect on US law and perceptions of substance abuse since it was slipped into official discourse by LBJ. It's a cult (which is my area of expertise, as it happens) and just because it's not raking it in hand-over-foot like Hubbard's buzzards doesn't mean it isn't a source of real harm.
Especially considering they can be court appointed for drunk driving which is a violation of the establishment clause. You need a secular version of AA or else you cannot use it as a means by which to get rid of a judgment
You know what is funny is other religions make fun of Scientology when there's is just as stupid. Like a guy coming back from the dead, or a guy flying a winged horse.
Let's not forget all the criticism for the ridiculous claims of scientology apply to other religions. They just sound less ridiculous because the religions are much older. with that said, as long as you don't impose the beliefs and don't use your religion to cause harm or impede regular life, we should be free to believe and practice. Anti religion or atheism can also become oppresive.
They did dance with pointing that out for a bit in the first scene. Are all christian's mad? Most. And it's what the whole Letters comment at the end is for too. Trouble is too many folks use the Nth amendment as ammo in any argument but in my experience most couldn't actually recite the wording or meaning of it back to you if you paid them. They've been reduced to 2-3 word catchphrases and the actual intent of them has been lost most of the time. I.e. Free speech means we can all say whatever we like and we cannot be arrested and censored by the government for that. But the person we say it to is free to ignore it, lambast it or punch in the nose for it. Though the latter choice often comes with additional ramifications. Same with Freedom of Religion. Everyone is free to practice whatever religion they like. But it doesn't mean they can weild that religion like a weapon against others free from consequence. And the weirder the religion is in the public consciousness, the less power it has to defend actions.
Great job, but South Park hit them first. Loud and proud. Revealing a lot and allowed shows like this to do episodes, too.
folks are deluded, spader is awesome
That last line is as fourth wall as you can get.
One thing scientology shows is that people will believe anything.

Let's not forget. You have to PAY a monthly fee AND you have to pay for clears to "level up"
Sounds like an MMO subscription to me - just the premise alone plays exactly the same.
@@The_Phoenix_Saga Please don't give the GameIndustry any ideas! LOL
@@DrownedInExile As if the game industry is going to listen to a "Lowly gamer" like me 😏
@@DrownedInExile Oh please. Scientology is basically pay-to-win. They don't need to look to the gaming industry for ideas. they've been implementing them for decades.
Spader made a good point by not excluding other religions. There are two kinds of people: Someone walks down a hill and claims he received 10 commandments by god himself hidden in a burning bush. Kind 1: Yeeeahhh... sure, bro! Not like you made them up to retain power! Kind 2: Wow! Here's my credit card for church contribution!
Freedom of Religion means you get to practice whatever religion you please and the government can’t prosecute you for it unless you have affected someone else in a harmful way. I know fourteen-year olds who can tell you this 🙄
It doesn't mean you can force it down anyone else's throat
@@crisvanfan I am aware of this? I am agreeing with Shore’s position…I don’t sympathize with the Scientologist in any way in this episode…
@@crisvanfanbut forcing down throats is a Catholic speciality.
It really is simple. separation of church and state. I don't care if you think the boogieman is real. Feel free... but the moment you tell me I have to believe it, we are going to have a problem.
I wonder if the cast, producers or just James Spader really got letters for this one
The founding fathers of this country set out to prevent persecution not to license it. Magnificently written
Omg I lost it when James Spader farted in the direction of the Defense Attorney, lmbo!!!!
Oh, he wasn't pointing it at her. That would have been uncouth. His performance here was partially to defend Jerry, but mostly out of a desire to win his bet with opposing council in which "the loser had to smother the winner in maple syrup and then lick it off", I believe were the stakes. Also, Scientology nut is suing Jerry for wrongful termination. So Jerry is the defendant and Alan is the Defense Attorney. Lake Bell's character Sally Field is the Prosecution.
Does Scientology actually have a God who they pray to?
No.
L Ron Hubbard
Good episode!! Great acting by everyone!!
ROFLMAO. Oh this is awesome. So many gold moments. "And there's Christians who believe Jesus will return are they all nuts"? "Most" The look from the judge was hilarious. Subtle but like WTF did he really just say that?
Christians don’t pretend you don’t know what he’s talking about when he says “most”
@@Degamer422 Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight? lol
Alan Shore just made an entire minutes long argument, while holding in a juicy fart, just so he could blast it at precisely the right moment, lol
I love it when liberal's always cite morality, victimization, racism, and any other manner of hatred against victims of all types such as fat, ugly, hurt feelings, GENDER or lack there of (sorry that was a big one), I could go on and on for hours. But when they speak of religion it's ALL different huh? Your belief can't trump someone else's belief's matter of fact EVERYONE beats YOUR beliefs IF they aren't religious even if say you could prove your religious beliefs to be continued from generations ago It still doesn't matter. I mean isn't that great? You can be not harassing, speaking to, signage, speaking out against or even ever meeting ANYONE of your persuasion YET the moment you refuse your labor to someone because of your beliefs your persecuting them? So I guess your not being persecuted by being forced to work for someone like a slave just because you believe something????? Sounds Kinda wrong when you say it like that huh? No matter what liberals will always hate this topic as almost 70% of the country believes in some kind of higher power and even funnier is our beloved Mexicans (I'm being serious here) that they fight for so much (I do as well as they are a wonderful people) are more religious than even the majority in America. They have huge wonderful family's and just awesome conviction. As for scientology Sadly In my belief even though sounding like a hypocrite I believe it's an overnight "religion" that is only steeped in a science fiction book. I'm sure someone will reply some simile of the bible when in actuality Ron's book's were fiction period while there have been many, many feats in the bible PROVEN real including in finding the Arc. My beliefs are steeped in hundreds and hundreds of years while whole cities rose and fell over. One of our known measurements is B.C. and A.C. lol yet were talking about a new religion that 95% can be categorized as just fake and a money scheme of the rich? Like I said most of our beliefs lead back to a real date, real moment in history. The biggest thing non believers are hung up on is that they want to see God to know when my reaction to that is " If God is real who are you in the universe to order him to appear? Wouldn't that be like a grain of sand telling the Sun to cool off for a minute? Or the horsefly to the horse to stand still? So yea Scientology isn't a religion. Sorry.
I think you meant "liberals" in the plural form, not "liberal's" in the possessive form. I went no further, I don't have all night.
Religion IS responsible for more murder than ANY OTHER CAUSE ON THE PLANET since man walked upright. It is. That's it.
@@Gurl-5150that really, really made me laugh 😂
Every religion has its own wacky stories...EVERY RELIGION
*And Christians believe Jesus will return, are they all nuts?* *Most* Buy this guy a pint.
As my mother (Christian, and very religious) mother used to say "Religions are like penises. Many people have one, but the fact that you have one does not give you the right to shove it down my throat."
She sounds like a powerhouse
Also it should be kept away from children
Even their "Holy prophet" said "If you wanna get rich, start a religion". What are they gonna do? Sue their prophet? Yeah that'll help their case.
I love the part in Scientology where Xenu gets a random old guy with no shipbuilding experience to build a ship large enough and seaworthy enough to hold and take care of 2 of every animal on the planet for around 40 days and nights. Oh and how about the bit where Xenu requires the human sacrifice of his own son so he can forgive humanity. Good thing too because Xenu was about to commit world wide genocide ..... again. Xenu, you mischievous dog you. Oh oh, I also forgot the hilarious joke where Xenu told this guy he had to murder his own son and only at the last minute said "Just kidding! You're so gullible!". Yup Scientology is way more insane than other religions.
are you defending Scientology or attacking Christianity? Because as crazy as Christianity is with some of it's stories and stretches of logic, I was getting Scientology literature and they are more wackado than a prayer group with too much wine and holy spirit in them.
Imagine comparing wacky stories written thousands of years ago to wacky stories created by a cult that has only been around for around 70 years.
@@coyotetrickster5758 I think it's like "don't scapegoat weird cult beliefs to make other religions look better"
Spader is brilliant but I also enjoyed how uncomfortable the Scientology guy looked during the whole thing.
If They could do this episode over again, I think they should’ve included just how dangerous Scientology is. Fair game and the like. Also from all the interviews I’ve heard with Ex Scientologists, You’re hard-pressed to get a Scientologist onto a witness stand and openly admit that they believe in the Xenu story. It’s supposed to be very quiet hush-hush only the top brass get to know about it.
Scientology is just another reason why Americans should never start a religion.
Oh sure, when you put it in actual words and say it out loud it certainly sounds crazy.
Scientology is not a religion. It’s a money-making scheme and a tax dodge disguised as a religion.
How is that different than any other religion?
@@BigNoseDog - for starters doggie, many events and characters described and depicted in the Bible were real.
If god-botherers actually kept their holy hallucinations to themselves, there wouldn't be a problem. But they never do.
Yea ok buddy yet there’s historic proof oh and a scientist did an equation that basically said god could very well exsist and no one has been able to disprove him
@@matthewberg5835 Even if I grant what you're saying - which I don't - so what? Doesn't change the fact that god-bothers just can't stay in their own lane.
@@matthewberg5835There is no actual proof. The only "proof" that has ever been even remotely substantiated is that the authors of the plagiarized, repeatedly edited, highly redacted, and poorly translated short stories used things, places, and land formations from their real lives to try and give their fictional writing more weight. The same as fiction writers have all done throughout history, and still do to this day. The burden of proof isn't with those who don't believe in what there is no evidence of. The burden of proof lay in the lap of those who want the lack of evidence to be ignored to justify their beliefs.
You sound like one of those Reddit atheists. All bark and no bite.
@@DarkScorpionPete98 You're free to think whatever you like about me. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
