Can somebody please explain to me what exactly is Scientology?
Daughter and this classmate of hers have been dating since August. She told us him & his whole family are Scientologists. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t know anything about it until she mentioned it, my first thought was “oh, they believe in science? That’s cool”. Then I looked it up online… and I still don’t understand anything. Most sources say it’s a bad thing, but I don’t get what it’s all actually about, as in doctrine, beliefs, activities, etc. I don’t even understand if it’s an actual religion or one of those pay-to-level-up self-care courses. One of the most confusing things I’ve ever read about. So if anyone could explain it straight to the point, I’d be very grateful.
You're viewing a single thread.
The most concise way to think about it is to think Freemasonry combined with Star Trek.
Star Trek
... if you bought your Star Trek from a version of Wish that was also bought from Wish. Knock-offs all the way down.
I was thinking more along the lines of original Star Trek, where you had aliens posing as Greek gods, disembodied immaterial Galactus hands stretching out from planets, and parallel universes where evil versions of the characters can cross over from, and yet where at the end of the day, the characters can nod their heads and give a toast to "the godless universe".
It was very much like Doctor Who if Doctor Who didn't just explain everything with a simple "it's all wibbly wobbly".
I see what you're saying, Star Trek just has too many redeeming qualities that could have made Scientology cool if they'd become StarTrekology instead.
Or Wizardology.
