Hubbard holds the Guinness book of world records for the most published author of all time, and to be clear I'm not saying this to try and oversell him as an individual so much as I'm saying this to point out that there is a legitimate limitation for the task of trying to 'summarize' his work within the context of a post on this thread. Also, just like the Bible or the Koran, there are a multitude of interpretations of the works that can vary significantly. For an example, a number of eastern religions/ philosophies tend to droll on and on upon the notion that 'life is suffering', and my interpretation of Hubbard's works seemingly pokes fun of this philosophy by showcasing that life can be funny, entertaining and uplifting, which was always my reaction when reading his books.but what are these thoughts of hubbards ? what is the summary of his work
I could, but I think this would be more appropriate for a blog than this thread. As far as this thread is concerned, I'm not trying to "sell" Scientology onto others by listing my positive experiences so much as I want to explore other people's thoughts/ experiences with it. And so far people's views on Scientology have been overwhelmingly negative, and because this is so contradictory to my own experiences I would love to learn more about why this would be the case. Is it just more people blindly believing everything the mainstream media tells them without bothering to read a single book written by L. Ron Hubbard or is there any legitimacy to their views?can you list some of the enriching life benefits and up lifting qualities that you have seen given your exposure to scientology.
What do you mean? It's no small secret that aliens exist within the theology of Scientology, but I don't see how this theology would be any more far-fetched from the theology of other mainstreamed religions, in which humans would live for hundreds of years, people would live inside whales or global floods would wipe out all life except for 2 of every animal that managed to survive on an arc. Do all Christians/ Muslims harbor a literal interpretation of this theology or might there also be some who hold a figurative interpretation instead?where the fuck are the aliens
Attacking the theology of Scientology receives no apparent political backlash, which is strange because if the creators of south park instead chose to attack the theology of Islam then I can only imagine how they would have been branded as 'islamaphobic'. Double standard much?
