The Church of Scientology vs. The Oddworldian Fellowship
 

okay.. L Ron Hubbard was a sci-fi writer. he founded scientology. the docturines of scientology sound pretty sci-fi (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu).* now, if oddworld was a faith (The Oddworldian Fellowship) i think it would be more effective. Because:
i. we wouldn't hide our docturine
ii. we have mudokons
iii. we have a better story
iv. our local shamen would get "Big Face" masks
v. abe would be our messiah
vi. mutch: the anti-christ
vii. we have stories and history already devolped
viii. we have cool games to teach these doctutines

I AM NOT A WACKO WHO WANTS A NEW RELIGION!! All i'm saying is, if you forgot all you knew about oddworld and scientology, and you had to pick a faith, would it be The Church of Scientology or The Oddworldian Fellowship?? treat them both as religions and give it some thought.


*I'm just having a bit of craic! don't sue me!

Shrykull would be a god that I could dig. Now that's someone whose image I would have liked to be created in.

we could have temples! and scars! provided by big face shamen tatto artists!

Any religion owns Scientology, its all made up.

You keep your religions, I'll keep my Necronomicon.

Why does everyone hate Scientology? Has anyone actually read their Bible? It might actually have some merit to it.

again Wolfpac, check the link at the top of this thread. and most people havnt read it cus ur not allowed to til you've been with them for 7 years.

bt i dnt hate them

Because the lot of them are weasily cultist scumbags who brainwash people?

very true!
and i'd rather have no religion than any (well apart from buddhism)

buddhism is a pretty broad faith.

Buddhism is extremely complex, and most certainly not the dos religion so many believe it to be. After studying it for five years and barely scratching the surface, I should know.

exactly. its probly the most publicly over simplified religion

As much as I hate to play Havoc, isn't that what most organized religions do to their average follower?

I'm so angsty and self-righteous. :p

Well atleast Islam, Christianity, etc. have an old book to go by. What does Scientology have? A science fiction novel written by a second rate sci-fi novel writer.

he's reported to have said, years before scientology, "theres good money in religion".

The thing is that there are some guys who just have a religion to go by it and there are hardcore fans of the religion who brainwash people. If I started a religion on Driver 2(which I still play) there would be those guys who would just follow me around and those guys thinking that it's the only thing that's worth believing in and try to remove all other religions by any means necesarry. It's all the ego in being religious and trying to convert anyone else into it. I think someone wrote about a Harry Potter meeting or something with the Jesus crazed woman who claimed that it's a bad book for using magic.

I'm reading The Da Vinci code at the moment and came across some interesting parts about the stuff above.

Although, there is a chance none of the religions actually are true and it's just a fiction that man has created it for himself to have some rules to go by in life.

Scientology actually has a lot of profound messages beneath all of that kooky stuff. Kind of like the Bible.

The Duh Vinci Cod is no more based in fact or reality than Loose Change 9/11. And on Scientology; (http://theunfunnytruth.ytmnd.com/)

The existence of Scientology actually offends me.

You know I just checked out the dates (I'm a detail freak) and found this:
Operation freakout:1st April (april fools joke?)
Maybe it all started that way...

And Da Vinci code is a good book, but everyone in my class looks at how much pages it has and they puke... tsk. Nevermind about that, I didn't even expect it to have facts, but there are a few things.

On the matter of Da Vinci Code, I found this amusing: http://youtube.com/watch?v=FVWXdCe6620

...
gimme one profound message from scientology. i won't bother starting a new thread for this, but what does everyone think about P.E.T.A?

Scientology is the craziest religon possible.

It suits me perfectly, but I'll have to pass.

And Gerald, your posts make me eyes hurt.

It's "Gerard". which one makes your eyes hurt?

All of them.

This thread is highly offencive, i demand it be shut as I am a practising Scientologist.

You're all reported.

Hurray!

/me fights urge to warn Hobo

So shouldn't this thread be suspended inbetween GenD and OTD?







(Burial Grounds!)

You want to warn me for possibly the first post I've ever made that has truth in it?

This thread is demeaning to a religion that people actively follow, thus racism, thus against the rules.

Thus i win.

Religions are not races, you idiot. By that reasoning, I'm insulting the Cargo Cult in their beliefs by saying they are retarded, or Young Earth Creationists, pedophile priests, or maltheists. Or Muslims.

People can't choose to be black, white, Asian, Hispanic, Arab, Native American, or Aborigine. People can choose their religion in most cases.

Michael Jackson tried.

Can I report for reporting under false pretenses?

The term 'Racism' has, in many cases, loosened it's definition to include discrimination with regards to religion. Even if you don't prescribe to that viewpoint, replacing the term 'Racism' with 'Religionism' doesn't change his point.

So let's have less of the 'you idiot' and more respect for others, eh?

*Steps up on soapbox*
Oh My G-d.

Moses Adam Noah on a frucking 40 cubit Ark.

Sweet mother of Lilith, Jesse, and Mary Magdalene.

It's racist to criticise a belief? A fecking belief? That's the most moronic, idiotic, fascist wad of crap I have ever heard. (You aren't moronic, but you're belief (or the one you are representing) is)

I'm sorry, but beliefs are not races, they are freely chosen, and they should be questioned and inspected. I suppose it's racist to say Flying Spaghetti Monsterism is retarded, or that my belief that Abe Vigoda is watching me and molesting me as I sleep and that I'm really God's servant Saawaewty sent by Native Americans in UFOs to kill pedophiles and eat cities is now protected, and anyone criticizing it is to be jailed and killed.

I respect others. I don't respect others beliefs, and with G-d as my witness, I will give a good slap round the head to anyone who forces me to respect all beliefs, no matter how asinine or dangerous they are. I don't hate Muslims, Scientologists, or other delusional members of pseudoreligious cults. I hate their religion, but love them as persons. This is not like gayness, where a person cannot change it and it doesn't harm them mentally or physically, this is like pedophilia or believing Hitler was God.

Islam is a choice. Scientology is a choice. Pastafarianism is a choice. Christianity is a choice. Judaism is a choice. Satanism is a choice. Naziism is a choice.

Have we become so PC you can't even say someone's beliefs are retarded?

we're just having a discussion. we're not actively picking on scientologists. believe what you want, i don't care, but its certain individuals that are saying demeaning things about scientology. i don't want to start anything hobo. i didn't know we had an active scientologist amongst us. i have never spoken to one. I'd like to learn more about it, so, enlighten us.

How long have you been a scientologist? When did you join & why?

you cannot say we are racist. I'm not even going to go there. you could accuse (some of) us of prejudice. but maybe if we had a discussion with an active scientologist, some of that would be cleared up.

Did I use the word 'criticise'? I do believe that I talked about DISCRIMINATION.

Try reading a post before you get on your tall equine.

Either way, it isn't.

Racism is against races, not religions.
That'd make about as much sence as Pizza Hut selling books.




"Call the movie theatre if you want pizzas."

No. As i will prove thus:

You're wrong. And retarded.http://www.oddworldforums.net/custom...atar1629_2.gif

so... you feel that people are questioning your beliefs and that that is wrong. Patrick then calls your beliefs retarded and says your over sensitive. i then say that if you gave us some real information as to why you feel Scientology is a valid faith, maybe people would take your faith seriously.... you then call Patrick retarded..... -.-
do you have any real defence for sceintology?? because all your last post said was "Don't offend me or question my beliefs, thats just wrong, you retard."
... -.-
