      @augustwhite7390 I grew up in the LDS (Mormon) church, and there are things the members aren't told until they reach the highest levels. It's basically a Freemason front, but none of the members would ever believe you if you told them that. I'm willing to bet that most of today's religions are that way. If people knew the truth of what they believed from day one, they wouldn't want to be a part of it.

    South Park saved my own family from being brainwashed by Scientology. They convinced us into their headquarters in LA and managed to bring my Mom to her knees. I saw right through them because the questions they asked were exactly the same as on South Park. My Mom says she had been through the worst depression and fear in her life in just 25 minutes with them. I showed her the South Park episode so she'd see what they actually beleive. I of course had to back it up with news articles and leaks but the Story of Xenu snapped her out of it. Who'd have thought South Park could save Millions from this cult.

That's not really the case anymore, but Scientology already placed its bets so it has to keep making psychiatry sound bad because religions don't make a habit out of changing tenets in the face of facts.

      This is what frustrates me about people who push supplements.
      I have to make sure I have a higher calcium intake than the average person because of a medication I am on. I asked my doctor if that meant I needed to take a supplement and she was like "ohhhhhh no no no no. Do not take a calcium supplement. You are not calcium deficient, and if you take a calcium supplement, it will cause your heart to calcify. All you need to do because of the medication you're on, is to eat more food with calcium. But please do not take calcium supplements because you do not have a deficiency and do not need them."
      People are just like "yeah just take vitamins and you'll feel better" and it's like... Just cause it's a vitamin, doesn't mean it won't hurt you if you have too much of it, and you have to have blood work done to make sure that the supplement you take isn't going to hurt your body instead of help you.

      @@SergeDuka defaming does not necessarily imply that the statements were false, just that they hurt your reputation. However the case would be dropped if the statements are proven to be true.
      Generally, you would thus not have to prove that the statements were not true. In fact, in most cases, it would be impossible. If I say that you have committed a crime, e.g. that you were drunk driving two months ago, how would you prove that it wasn’t true?
      Same thing here: how do you prove that you don’t believe something?
      It’s the general issue of proving a negative.
      What the plaintiff has to prove instead is that the defendant made a defamatory statement to at least one other person and, usually, that the plaintiff suffered special damages as a result.
      However here, we are dealing with media, which makes things more complicated. They might be covered by freedom of the press, I don’t know (and IANAL). In that case, the plaintiff might indeed have to prove that the statements were untrue, and even that some malice was involved.

I though hilarous how the hero suceeded when the space drug dealer tried to sabotage him by using batshit solutions even to an alien civilization, like learning the language while speeding the recording, or calculating something size by using the echo of steps.

      it seems to me that believing in God and being religious aren't necessarily the same thing.

My take is that it's when you start attributing attributes and beliefs about that entity based on supposed divine revelation that you have a religion.

He described it like a haunted house where they show you the horrible atrocities that psychologists have committed throughout history, such as electroshock therapy, and at the end they try to sign you up for Scientology.
    Dr. Drew's conclusion was that at some point in his life, L. Ron Hubbard received some psychological help, perhaps against his will by his parents, and hated it so much that he decided to demonize it for the rest of his life.

Hubbard believed that he had made this amazing breakthrough and that they would claim him a genius. However, that didn’t happen. Instead, the APA laughed their tails off and sent him home with a bruised ego. After that, Hubbard despised psychiatrists and the field.

      Isaac Hayes probably wouldn't've been on board with it, even if he hadn't suffered a stroke. He was upset but reasonable about the episode, and soon afterwards, he had a stroke, and because of that the Scientologists essentially resigned FOR him(there wouldn't have been any way for him to do espionage on Parker and Stone after that), leading to them trying to treat him with their pseudoscientific crap.

Me and a few other students thought it would be super funny to go and take their free testing. We brought the papers back and completed them. The other two students had some tour planned and couldn't go so i went alone to turn in my test.
    My experience with them was nearly identical with Stan's, obviously without paid testing or being heralded as a god. They take your test and tell you that you dont have a purpose in life, you are internally depressed, that psychology and medication doesn't work, and then they try to sell you on dianetics, a "self help" book full of harmful philosophy and pseudoscience. They prey on the suggestible and vulnerable, tell them that they need a solution, then they sell it to them. They're awful people

      It's also the only intentionally mean spirited episode of South Park, and given how Hayes left the show and the public statement that was made on his behalf, it's understandable they were somewhat bitter about the specific circumstances of the split. One of the reasons I consistently love South Park and Matt Stone and Trey Parker is because basically every other episode other than this one is never outright mean spirited. They're poking fun all the time, but it's almost always in a clever way that's encouraging the subject of the jab to find the humor as well.

The mid to high levels are the ones that see it as a business venture as it always has been. The same goes for charity organizations, etc.

    Weirdly, Scientologists had a stand at a car show here in Dublin a few years ago. They were offering personality tests, and for a laugh I went for it.
    Given the asininity of the questions asked, it was very difficult not to laugh and I cracked more than once. They then asked me to leave and then followed me around the show as I took photos of the cars on my phone. I got to the point of asking their opinion on particular cars, which angered them even further.
    Edit: I had known quite a lot about the cult prior to this.
