Did south park depict scientology accurately?
I actually have a lot of respect for scientology (because of tom cruise) but the way this show depicts it makes it really hard to see the point

Scientology is a cult scam. I'll be the first to admit I used to really like south park albeit a lot of even the old stuff is kind of pozzed. Forget about it now obviously.
>accurately
In what sense? Was it a fair critique? Yes. Do they really believe in Xenu? Yes. Was the depiction overly cartoonish and excessive just for the sake of style points? Also, yes.
Look at it as a way for celebrities to have all their money tax free by going through the church
Except the church takes so much of their money it would defeat the purpose
I think the only thing they didn't show was how you remove the negative spirits from your body to become happy.
>I actually have a lot of respect for scientology
wtf
it’s a way to get films funded without bowing before israelites
It's just an alternative Hollywood mafia/cult if you don't want to join the israelites or gays. Trey had no choice since Matt is half-Jew.
Get an E meter
Are you brain damaged?
>I actually have a lot of respect for scientology
what happened to my 4chin
Probably watched some youtube documentary about how Cinemaphile went to war with Scientology so this was his big brain idea to make bait.
>Cinemaphile went to war with Scientology
never happened
newbie
Chanology was cringe and the last nail in the coffin of old /b/ tbh
2005 boomer here project chanology was always cringe newbie shit
Can any of us say our souls weren't imprisoned here by alien overlords millions of years ago?
That seems entirely plausible to me, honestly.
it’s basically simulation theory so i’m surprised reddit doesn’t love it
Reddit hates it because it's coolto hate it. Rightfully so but still.
The DC-8 being designed based on the genetic memory of alien souls being transported to be Earth alone is fricking hilarious
Yes it is pretty accurate. Scientology also has an irrational hatred of modern psychology but this means sometimes Tom Cruise does make valid criticisms of it and big pharma, but that doesn't mean you should join scientology.
>the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend
Makes sense tbh, Tom is and will remain based, however.
Scientology is a cult
Mormonism is a cult
what even is a cult? I see redditors call christianity a cult, but not hinduism or buddhism. is a cult exclusively based around serving the head figure with sex or whatever? or is a cult something that isolates you from others?
Cults are just religions you don't like, often with predatory practices like Scientology literally charging you money to learn what the frick they even believe in. The whole Xenu saga is supposed to cost thousands of dollars to even get access to
>excessive control over members
>not letting people leave
>organised around serving the interests of a singular person and worshiping the living leader of the cult
>usually make you cut contact with family and friends
Christianity is not a cult by any definition, non of the major religions really are. They give you guidelines to follow but accept you will break them and don’t punish you for it. You can leave at any time and they don’t impose restrictions on who you can talk to or what you do outside of your own life. Maybe you can accuse them of taking money to pay for some bishops new bentley though, but it’s not the same as making you worship a guy who gets to marry your 10 year old daughter.
>by any definition, non of the major religions really are. They give you guidelines to follow but accept you will break them and don’t punish you for it. You can leave at any time
Islam doesn't fit this description.
>They give you guidelines to follow but accept you will break them and don’t punish you for it.
Yeah. They only condemn you to eternal torture and suffering in the afterlife. No big deal
>They only condemn
Your confusing condemn with warning. If I warn you not to touch the hot burner on the stove because it will burn you and then you choose to go ahead and touch the hot burner anyway it wasn't me who condemned you to have a burnt hand
A cult is a small religion. People just think the word has a negative connotation.
Actually, the notion of cults being bad, is probably residual Christian morality persisting in society.
There is a separate definition of a pathological cult where they isolate you from your friends and family and take money etc.
open a dictionary.
any religion really
Christcuckery is a cult
Muhammedism is a cult
Rabbihomosexualry is a cult
Scientology is more sane and respectable than believing that men are women or that defunding the police doesn't lead to a rise in crime.
>defunding the police doesn't lead to a rise in crime.
Police are getting more money than they've ever gotten before and crime is going up.
You're in the wrong timeline, omae.
>Police are getting more money than they've ever gotten before and crime is going up.
lol banning hotspot policing and refusing to incarcerate during chimp-outs is what caused crime to rise. Re-funding the police is an attempt to return to the status quo. Amazing how quickly those "woke" mayors and governors flip-flopped once Biden took office.
We should just defund the criminals.
>Police are getting more money than they've ever gotten before and crime is going up.
Gosh, it's almost like the purpose of all those laws is to hamper the police and not stop crime.
The police are there to protect the government from you, not stop crime.
See: Uvalde
police in blue areas are not able to arrest for minor offenses, and prosecutors and judges in blue areas only charge/give sentences to murder defendants and political enemies.
if police could actually arrest for minor crimes, and prosecutors and judges actually did their jobs an enforced laws, there would be no rise in crime anywhere - you don't have to trust me, just look at any reliably red area in the country and there has been no spike in crime
It's protection against the joos.
That's why you have stars like cruise joining even though they're intelligent. What other cult runs Hollywood?
The only religion tackling the evil odf psychology.
It's a cult designed to steal as much money as it can from its followers. It has special "untouchable" members like Tom Cruise to serve as its ambassador and lure.
Yes that’s why they tried to sue them
Well, no. They didn't show the archive of material they have against celebrities to blackmail them, or how they used Neopets to brainwash a generation of children.
