I just read the whole wikipedia entry for Scientology, and let me just say I can not possibly see how this religion (is it a religion? I’ll go with… faith?) is even believable.

It sounds like something a stoner would create for fun, but not taking really seriously and then laugh about it later. I can’t even understand how this has followers… it makes absolutely no sense.

Among these advanced teachings is the story of Xenu introduced as an alien ruler of the “Galactic Confederacy.” According to this story, 75 million years ago Xenu brought billions of people to Earth in spacecraft resembling Douglas DC-8 airliners, stacked them around volcanoes and detonated hydrogen bombs in the volcanoes. The thetans then clustered together, stuck to the bodies of the living, and continue to do this today. Scientologists at advanced levels place considerable emphasis on isolating body thetans and neutralizing their ill effects.

This is serious…. And some people find the whole concept of Jesus rising from the dead hard to believe?
