  AK - Jeff

  We of the Church believe:

  That all men of whatever race, color or creed were created with equal rights;

  That all men have inalienable rights to their own religious practices and their
  performance;

  That all men have inalienable rights to their own lives;

  That all men have inalienable rights to their sanity;

  That all men have inalienable rights to their own defense;

  That all men have inalienable rights to conceive, choose, assist
  or support their own organizations, churches and governments;

  That all men have inalienable rights to think freely, to talk freely, to write
  freely their own opinions and to counter or utter or write upon the opinions
  of others;

  That all men have inalienable rights to the creation of their own kind;

  That the souls of men have the rights of men;

  That the study of the mind and the healing of mentally caused ills should not
  be alienated from religion or condoned in nonreligious fields;

  And that no agency less than God has the power to suspend or set aside these
  rights, overtly or covertly.

  And we of the Church believe:

  That man is basically good;

  That he is seeking to survive;

  That his survival depends upon himself and upon his fellows and his attainment
  of brotherhood with the universe.

  And we of the Church believe that the laws of God forbid man:

  To destroy his own kind;

  To destroy the sanity of another;

  To destroy or enslave another’s soul;

  To destroy or reduce the survival of one’s companions or one’s group.

  And we of the Church believe that the spirit can be saved and that the spirit
  alone may save or heal the body.

  It is L. Ron Hubbard's Creed. He was another lying hypocrite.

  Doesnt Cruise keep saying this ISNT a religion?? Apparently if its a CHURCH its claiming to be one. And Im thinking that all of the above applies except when someone dares to question, correct or accuse...the church of lying, hypocrisy or lovelessness, then they grow horns and start spitting split pea soup at you.

  Yep.

  I found it interesting, but not appealing.

  I don't know if he or his church are liars or not. Perhaps.

  I think the use of inalienable is funny, Don't they think aliens dropped eggs in valcanoes and when the valcanoes erupted we hatched? Something weird

  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenu

  The story of Xenu is covered in OT III, part of Scientology's secret "Advanced Technology" doctrines taught only to advanced members who have undergone many expensive hours of auditing and reached the state of Clear. [ 9 ] [ 12 ] It is described in more detail in the accompanying confidential "Assists" lecture of October 3, 1968 and is dramatized in Revolt in the Stars (a screenplay written by L. Ron Hubbard in 1977). [ 9 ] [ 15 ]

  Hubbard wrote that seventy-five million years ago, Xenu was the ruler of a Galactic Confederacy which consisted of 26 stars and 76 planets including Earth, which was then known as "Teegeeack". [ 5 ] [ 11 ] The planets were overpopulated, with an average population of 178 billion. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] [ 6 ] The Galactic Confederacy's civilization was comparable to our own, with aliens "walking around in clothes which looked very remarkably like the clothes they wear this very minute" and using cars, trains and boats looking exactly the same as those "circa 1950, 1960" on Earth. [ 16 ]

  Xenu was about to be deposed from power, so he devised a plot to eliminate the excess population from his dominions. With the assistance ofpsychiatrists, he summoned billions [ 4 ] [ 5 ] of his citizens together under the pretense of income tax inspections, then paralyzed them and froze them in a mixture of alcohol and glycol to capture their souls. The kidnapped populace was loaded into spacecraft for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth). [ 5 ] The appearance of these spacecraft would later be subconsciously expressed in the design of the Douglas DC-8, the only difference being: "the DC8 had fans, propellers on it and the space plane didn't." [ 14 ] When they had reached Teegeeack/Earth, the paralyzed citizens were unloaded around the bases of volcanoes across the planet. [ 5 ] [ 11 ] Hydrogen bombs were then lowered into the volcanoes and detonated simultaneously. [ 11 ] Only a few aliens' physical bodies survived. Hubbard described the scene in his film script, Revolt in the Stars:

  OMG Purps!

  I had only looked into the very creed I posted - no further, as I have absolutely no interest in religion now.

  Then I read your post above. What insanity! And I thought Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses were screwed up. Scientology has them beat hands down.
