- Clips from the show Boston legal discussing the Insanity that is Scientology and Freedom of Religion
Boston Legal is an American legal dramedy created by David E. Kelley and produced in association with 20th Century Fox Television for ABC. The series aired from October 3, 2004, to December 8, 2008. I do not own this series

James Spader absolutely killed it here.
He just verbally slaughtered Scientology.
Also farting is not usually a respected point of comedy anymore... but this one is.
Actually, I think he slaughters religion in general.
I would like to see Spader do a similar bit about Alcoholics Anonymous, and its founder Bill Wilson. It's as ripe a subject as this one. Even get the same writer(s). Ah, it'd be classic.
"farts"
Getting closer as I speak
James Spader is a genius
The script writers were.
And muslims believe that they have a right to abuse little girls and decapitate everyone in America, are they nuts?"
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 😏
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?
The founding fathers of this country set out to prevent persecution not to license it. Magnificently written
4:07. The killer line. That card just gets overplayed to death for absolutely to death
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
Spader is brilliant but I also enjoyed how uncomfortable the Scientology guy looked during the whole thing.
Alright. That's it. Gotta watch the whole show for like the bajillionst time.
i feel you. I see James spader on the cast and I am watching that like a million times
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.
Good episode!! Great acting by everyone!!
Omg I lost it when James Spader farted in the direction of the Defense Attorney, lmbo!!!!
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.
Oh sure, when you put it in actual words and say it out loud it certainly sounds crazy.
Totally awesome!
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
His "I know, I'll get letters", and another episode where the young girl's mom/uncle want her to remember an assault while her father wants to have her memory erased of it, she talked about someone who did something rude, "Should get letters" -- I feel like that's either a reference I'm missing or it was a Bostonian saying.
It's a recurring joke where the characters break the fourth wall. "The letters" mean complaint from audiences to the show or the TV station. Alan once said to a female colleague, "Are you one of Mitt (Romney)'s wives?", to which the girl replies,"Now this will get you letters."
@@kambhengoren4837 THANK YOU! I had always wondered, and asked other people I knew who watched the show, and no one seemed to even remember the characters saying something about Letters, let alone it being a recurring thing. THANK YOU!!!!
@@leesilm.4432 hahhahaa you should checkout a website called TV tropes. They gave you insight into these inside jokes. You're welcome btw.
That last line is as fourth wall as you can get.
I wonder if the cast, producers or just James Spader really got letters for this one
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.
@@darkscorpion-donzaloog You're free to think whatever you like about me. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
Pretty much sums up Scientology, just like the flying Spaghetti Monster
As opposed to all those "real" religions?!
As equally believable as the rest.
@@wheeliebin18 Well Catholicism is based off Jesus Christ who was a actual person that lived. Most events actually took place.
@@zacharykieler some events took place. But yeah, anything sounds reasonable compared to Scientology.
Summs up all religions in a nutshelö
Yarr matey the Flying Spaghetti Monster be a real religion, it not be the people who don’t believe in intelligent design that cause the disasters in our world. IT BE THE LACK OF PIRATES!!!!! We be a dying breed but luckily me mateys in Somalia be keeping the word safe. They be having the lowest the lowest carbon emission in any country but they be having the most PIRATES!!!! I be hoping that’ll make ya realize that we be a real religion. May his noodly appendages reach your heart matey. R’amen…..yarr
EXACTLY
Great job, but South Park hit them first. Loud and proud. Revealing a lot and allowed shows like this to do episodes, too.
Yuck!! James spader never cease to amaze me
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…
Does Scientology actually have a God who they pray to?
No.
Lake Bell is Tom Cruise….or the other way round
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.
One thing scientology shows is that people will believe anything.
Every religion has its own wacky stories...EVERY RELIGION
folks are deluded, spader is awesome
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!
RE-LID-DJINN
Just focus on the nose and cheekbones
YUCK!
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"
“HAIL THETAN!”……THETANIC…..THETHETHATHA…SPANISH DIALECT…S IS PRONOUNCED “TH”, PENELOPE.
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.
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.
