Scientology Has Got To Be Stopped

So the church of the credulous is at it yet again. Over 4000 videos on YouTube had to be taken down because of the litigious dim wittery of the Church of Scientology. It is one thing to believe in something so stupid as L. Ron Hubbard's dumbass cult, but it is quite another to try and tell other people that they can't speak out against L. Ron Hubbard's dumbass cult.

I can't add anything more to the overwhelming amount of evidence that shows Scientology to be nothing more than a shitty science fiction writer's money con, so I won't go down that particular avenue. But I can say that the rights of the intelligent should not be infringed upon by the stupid. This country is already circling the drain, do we really have the time to entertain the frivolous lawsuits of people who believe that Xenu is real? Come on people, seriously.

Life is not an inherently difficult enterprise, stop making it that way.

Another Link to Expelled Exposed

"Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed", the movie that is a turd in the diaper of the psuedo science world. Here's the site that let's people with rational thought processes know the real deal: Expelled Exposed

The Psychology of "Heaven"

So, follow me on this one: If Heaven exists then our existence is completely useless.

Here is my argument:

Assume that Heaven exists and that Christian believers are admitted.

Next assume that you are cognizant of yourself and others, and you still have your memories.

Lastly, assume that your personality remains intact, and that Heaven is "perfect".

Now, moving forward with these assumptions, being in Heaven implies a perfect happiness. But if you are still you, and others are still themselves, then conflict will still arise. Maybe you remember the robber that killed your spouse and then got "saved" and was admitted into Heaven, etc.

The only way to prevent this conflict is for God to "change" you upon admittance. So if a change would have to be made such that you don't feel sadness, anguish over a loved one not being in heaven, etc., then what was the point of your initial earth bound existence? Because if it's not really "you" in Heaven, then the whole prior life on earth was in fact pointless, God could have just made the heavenly automatons he wanted to begin with.

Because, here is a neat thought: The supposedly first two people on the planet had free will, and they fucked it up the rest of us. So to prevent that from logically happening again, your free will must be removed upon your heavenly admittance. So something somewhere has to give...

Chew on that one for a while.

Lastly, what happens to infants, children, or extremely old people? If you have the misfortune to die as a baby (but you have been baptised) then are you just this drooling, toothless lump for all eternity? Or if you elderly, are you then former decrepit shell of your former self for ever? These "little" details seem to have been conveniently neglected by the authors of this fantasy land.
