Q: What did a Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?
A: "Make me one with everything.”
The hot dog vendor prepares it and gives it to the monk.
The monk pays him and asks for the change.
The hot dog vendor says, "Change comes from within!"

I first got interested in religion when I was a young teenaged recruit
for Scientology in 1967. I quickly caught on that it was a scam. Then a few weeks later L. Ron Hubbard came to Toronto from his boat in the Caribbean. (Sea-Org)

I overheard him talking to one of the other guys about some new
tenants they were going to introduce to the faithful. The guy said, "Ron, we can't tell them that! It will never fly, these people aren't completely stupid you know!" To which Hubbard replied, "Let's just see how stupid they really are!"

Generally, the documents suggest that a major cause of mankind's problems began 75 million years ago, when the planet Earth, then called Teegeeach, was part of a confederation of 90 planets under the leadership of a tyrannical ruler named Xemu. Then, as now, the materials state, the chief problem was overpopulation.

Xemu decided to take radical measures to solve the overpopulation problem. Beings were captured on Earth and on other planets and flown to at least 10 volcanoes on Earth. The documents state that H-bombs far more powerful than any in existence today were dropped on the volcanoes, destroying the people but freeing their spirits, called ``thetans,'' which attached themselves to one another in clusters.

After the nuclear explosions, according to the documents, the thetans were trapped in a compound of frozen alcohol and glycol and then during the course of a 36-day period, Xemu "implanted" in them the seeds of aberrant behavior that would last for generations to come.

When people die, those clusters attach to other humans and keep perpetuating themselves. Before a Scientologist can learn about thetans and how to eradicate them, he must go through a progression of costly programs.

By the way - Hubbard might be dead...
But I'll bet he's still laughing his ass off!
Just so you know. ----Allan

It might sound a little bit incredible to say that people believe this shit but it goes to prove what I keep saying:
"Tell people something enough times, with enough conviction, and they will believe just about anything!
