"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for Earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! HAIL XENU!!!"
In all seriousness, what I said in the other thread applies here. If believing in an evil alien dumping brainwashed souls on Earth that eventually found their way into all living beings and undergoing a process to cleanse one's soul of whatever must be cleansed according to Scientology's doctrine makes people happy and gives their life meaning, so be it. What bothers me is how litigious the church of Scientology is, or how hypocritical some of its most famous followers are (or were). For example, Tom Cruise is very defensive about what people write about him as well as his daughter (and rightfully so), but feels he has free license to comment and pass judgement on other people, such as Brooke Shields when she spoke about her post-natal depression. The late Isaac Hayes had no problem with South Park lampooning other religions but abruptly quit following their send-up of Scientology (though what exactly happened there is a bit sketchy).
There was also a bit of controversy earlier this year when Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson amongst others, used Bart's voice in a promotion/campaign for Scientology. Naturally some people took that too far, bleating about how they wouldn't let their kids watch The Simpsons because it advocated Scientology (despite showrunner Al Jean's statement about the show promoting nothing except Butterfingers) but as much as I respect Nancy Cartwright's work and her right to believe whatever she wants to believe but it struck me as being a bit disrespectful and unfair to the rest of the people involved with The Simpsons and somewhat irresponsible.
Anyway, since this is kind of a parody thread that is free to develop into something more serious if the ball bounces that way, I'll end with this:
"Na na na na na na na na LEADER!"
on you.
to the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
