I don't mean to turn this into a religion bashing thread, because I hate those, so please PLEASE keep all comments objective.

I just recently saw the South Park episode that Tom Cruise got banned from television. It's actually on a celebrity news website HERE for those of you who haven't seen it. I think it was hilarious, and after watching it I talked to one of my scientologist friends. After a couple of hours, I got him talking about the actual beliefs, and he said basically what is said during the episode almost verbatim.

Comments or thoughts on Scientology? Do you think Tom Cruise is freaking out a little too much? If not on Scientology, what'd you think of the South Park episode?

Scientology is the craziest thing I've ever even heard of. I just disregard it completely.

I unfortunatly have no knowledge of Scientiology and thus can't comment.

IIRC the basic premise goes like this.
A long time ago bad evil aliens used to live here on Earth. Then they were nuked or something by some good aliens. The souls of the bad aliens remained trapped on Earth. Those souls keep interfering and in a way possesing the souls of humans. Thus, with the way of the church of Scientology, you are getting free from these evil souls.

To go up the ladder of the church of Scientology you have to read some books and pay larger and larger amount of money to the church.
The creator of the Scientology "religion" was a sci fi writer, hubbard or something (don't care), and he even said (before creating Scientology) that the best way to make money is to create a religion, then after a while, Scientology.

I think that sums it up nicely.

The creator of scientology also gave office managment courses. Back when my mom was a dental assistant her boss started using one of those books. She says the were so utterly absurred that a few of her friends actually took the book and hid it.
