Scientology
I know we don't have to blog anymore, but after watching last week's South Park, I could not resist. Before watching last week's South Park, I never really knew what Scientology was all about. After watching the show, I did a little research and found that the outlandish claims South Park made about Scientology were true.
You see, according to Scientology, millions of years ago in a galaxy far, far, away, an evil alien lord killed a whole bunch of other aliens and sent their spirits to Earth. When man came on the scene millions of years later, these evil alien spirits inhabited man's bodies and still do today. That is why we do bad things and have bad thoughts. The story is a lot longer and much more complicated than that of course. If you want to know more, just click on my link.
So who was the man that brought this crazy cult to being that sounds like something out of a science-fiction novel? Well, it just so happens to be science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard. Yep, a science fiction writer in the 1950s wrote a book called Dianetics and founded the religion (or cult) of Scientology on it.
I am writing about this to dispel some of the people who are still critics in our class (I was one) about the importance of science fiction. Well, if you do a little research on Scientology you will find that science fiction has a lot more impact on the world than just the literary side of it. Science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard has created a religion stemming from science fiction. Fortunately, it does not appear that this religion teaches anything bad. Though crazy, scientology seems to be pretty benign.
So, Andy, this puts you in a unique situation. Are you ready to start your own religion like your predecessor L. Ron Hubbard? If so, look no farther than the students in your 5:00 class on Monday nights for your first disciples. All hail Andy!
