The bible may be full of unlikely stuff that the supposed holy figures did, but it's not full of alien empires and trapping folk in volcanos.
I happily ridicule all religions, but there's a difference between a talking burning bush on a holy mountain and Xenu, and anyone who looks at it rationally should be able to see that.
See, most religions have a Creator that sometimes interferes with people in certain ways, giving powers to prophets and what not. God speaks to me I deliver his message yadda yadda yadda.
Hubbard has thrown this out completely and given them a badly written scifi drama. In terms of what humanity has come up with, it's some of the wackiest stuff.
I like to make this point because it's a fallacy to disregard all religions the same, when it's clear that they affect peoples thinking in different ways.
In the end though, it's not what they believe, but how they treat their followers that is the most damning thing about the Scientologists.
Yes, some Christian cults are as bad, but abuse is built into the religion of scientology, so everywhere it is found you see unhealthy and paranoid behavior.
I try to live a bad dirty life by not reading any articles and poisoning my body and spirit. I'm afraid that I do not want you to be a part of of this community as I find you healthy. Healthy in mind body and soul. Why you deem it necessary to not use language that we do I can never understand. Geeks, nerds, and dweebs will never be able to learn what you impart because of the impeccable cleanliness of your flowery garden. Please stop receiving our email.
If you ignore your other responsibilities and slave over the boat, then it's the same problem.
The issue here is there aren't millions of people slaving over boats (which at least can be 'completed'), they slave over mmos which can not be completed.
It's not just video games of course, but any behavior which ones obsesses over and turns their back to more important life matters is unhealthy.
Either McCain is lying when he says Obama is not experienced enough, or he picked someone even less experience to be a heartbeat away from the presidency.
He looks bad either way.
Palin's speech was campy and insulting to females, and Hillary and Biden are going to tear her a new one for being anti-abortion, anti-condom, pro-creationist, and for being under investigation for corruption in her own state.
More like 88% of IT Admins like to say they would steal CEO passwords if laid off, but something tells me when the time came to break the law they would let the opportunity slide.

Then the science gets done and you make a neat supercollider for the people who are still alive!

Yea, DC-10s just makes no sense at all!

Your post is awesome using the Duffman voice.
Giant Spiders?
The same strong libertarian views that made her demand the Wasilla library ban books?

And they would happily swap cane toads with penis creatures.
Damn senior citizens taking away jobs from decent working age Americans!
Back in the day we just shipped them to the old folk's home and they liked it!

It's dead Jim.
The Reps brought up experience when they attacked Obama, not the Dems.
The issue here is McCain being hypocritical on that point.
She's under investigation as well for various ethical issues.
Fighting with the Alaskan Republican party is not the same as fighting with the National Republican party.

She is also against contraception!! Not just abortion, but F*'n contraception!
Yea, and I'm training to be a cage fighter.

Huge Success!
It's look like an amazing miscommunication, but I think this is what happened:
We are good.
We are not psychic.
Therefore
Psychics are not good.

The best time to enact unpopular laws is when national pride is at an all-time high.
Indeed! That voting bloc may well decide the election!
Silence!
I kill you!
I think you mean Little Ahmed Tables.
