Why Do People Hate Scientology? (People I Came Across Thought It Was A Joke)

[The 2020 New Member]

Do they really hate it?

 

[old_timer]

back in the day this white girl from austin broke it down to me

basically there was an alien named xenu
everything got blown up by this volcano
now we've got these thetans that make us feel crappy and sick
basically you pay money to scientology
and they help take the thetans off your body
then you feel wonderful (briefly)
but thetans return like a layer of dust
so you have to do periodic cleaning

i was really high at the time so

As far as religion origin stories go it might have the most ridiculous one of all and that's saying A LOT.

Before yall start, NO I'm NOT interested in joining Scientology However, why don't people take it seriously? Like, I know Scientology is basically Scientific religion. It was founded in the 50's by an author. Still, why do people dislike i and think people are weird/crazy for joining it?

answer your own questions brehs

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

anyone care to summarize what scientology is

aliens brought us here in 747 jets and dropped us off at a volcano

this is not a joke... that's what they actually believe... and this nikka asking why we don't take it serious

Scientology is really Dianetics techniques used to clear Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongaloid souls from attaching to the auric body allowing you to have a deeper connection to the environment enabling the flow of natural phenomenon such as ESP to empower your consciousness.

I think all religions are bullshyt ,I think many in them are hypocrites, but if I had a gun put to me head scientology would be the one I would join, simply because it's a bit like being in the free masons. They can help you in your career in a very big way because in the highest levels in all sorts of places there are scientologists. But there is a a cost, you have to basically devote yourself to scientology you have to promote it everywhere you go , you can't criticise it, if you leave it they will know all sorts of private shyt about you through their 'auditing sessions' that you must do so they have that over you for the rest of your life.I just think at least you can get something out of scientology for yourself , the rest of these religions you have to believe their bullshyt and see all the hypocrisy within it for nothing.

Mostly due to a lack of information but it does have some very impactful/useful teachings & techniques.

Allegedly the whole Xenu origin story was created in the 70s to gain tax-exempt religion status, again allegedly please don't ask me any questions.
