One is a freak but 1,000 is a religion.
Watch the classic South Park episode on Scientology (Tom Cruise trapped in the closet) here.
“A major cause of mankind’s problems began 75 million years ago,” the Times wrote, when the planet Earth, then called Teegeeack, was part of a confederation of ninety planets under the leadership of a despotic ruler named Xenu. “Then, as now, the materials state, the chief problem was overpopulation.” Xenu decided “to take radical measures.” The documents explained that surplus beings were transported to volcanoes on Earth. “The documents state that H-bombs far more powerful than any in existence today were dropped on these volcanoes, destroying the people but freeing their spirits—called thetans—which attached themselves to one another in clusters.” Those spirits were “trapped in a compound of frozen alcohol and glycol,” then “implanted” with “the seed of aberrant behavior.” The Times account concluded, “When people die, these clusters attach to other humans and keep perpetuating themselves. . .”

Ahhh… Scientology and South Park. Is this the episode where Tom Cruise and Mel Gibson went to Stan’s house? I think I’ll watch my twelve seasons of South Park again.

Much as I try to keep an open mind, I find their beliefs leaning towards loony. I was surprised when a Korean girl handed me a Scientology flyer in UP Diliman. The anime hairstyles, the overrated kimchi, them taking over good condo slots, and now, Scientology.
Principia Discordia makes more sense.

I was curious enough to check if Scientology has infiltrated the Philippines:
