I do find it interesting how easy it is to make a religion/cult. It was a sci-fi book in the fiction section for crying out loud.

 

[Chris]

You started the comparison tho lol I just said I considered them organized mafia more than a religion

 

[Chris]

And yeah that can apply to a lot of other religions too, but shit at least there's catholics in the world that believe in Jesus, I wonder how many scientologists believe that alien shit

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Which was you starting the comparison because then I had to comeback and tell you it's not any different. There's equal stuff happening in other regions. So Scientology is inherently any worse.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Most of them, surprisingly. Leah Remini from King of Queens was in it for years.

 

[Chris]

Ain't she the one that finally left and been getting all these death threats for exposing them?

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I don't think many of them wouldn't be in it if they weren't brainwashed to believe in it. They pay so much money to advance those levels. You pay that if you didn't believe in it.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Yeah, she finally got out and has been revealing whatever secrets she was privy to.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Her mother is still in it and is a hardcore believer.

 

[Chris]

Oh and just saying I brought up Tom Cruise first just to say I still fucks with his movies despite scientology anyway lol I wasn't trying to compare it to shit other religions do, I was just trying to say it's fucked up shit but I still watch Cruise movies

 

[Ricky Smarks]

I know and I was agreeing with you. Just I don't even care to hate his personal life over his religion either. That's just where we disagreed.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Honestly, Scientology has kind of fucked over his life so I kinda feel he's either in too deep to get out or he's just that brainwashed. Sad really.

 

[Chris]

Yeah so fuck scientology lmao

 

[Ricky Smarks]

The church won't even let him see his kid. Because they're not allowed to commune with ex-members or whatever. And now, supposedly he's been brainwashed to believe Suri isn't even his. News about that just came out like two days ago. Really fucked up.

 

[Ricky Smarks]

Anyways, enough about that.
