61. Well, its pretty clear to me that Christian Science wins. Not only is there all this evidence, but the Scientologists apparently can't even be bothered to comment....of course, they may all be off helping car accident victims,,,,they are the only ones that can really help, after all....

62. The choice is Mary Baker Eddy or L. Ron Hubbard as your spiritual leader. I'd say keep looking.

Appropos of nothing, but I don't think that L. Ron was ever rendered in paper doll form, so MBE gets points for that over him. (Yes, MBE was in a book of paper dolls that I had as a child, of assorted illustrious woman throughout the ages in all fields.) Unless John Travolta and Tom Cruise have gotten together and comissioned some.

63. Aw Mo,

I have two "Reading Rooms" in my house, both well stocked with "People" magazines, to wit, I read articles on Scientologists.
What does that make me?
Other than two pounds lighter?

64. Aw Mo,

I prefer to follow the teachings of Aluminum Science
As set forth by John Milkovisch, the architect and engineer
Of the famous Beer Can House in Houston.
Mr. Milkovisch, who was fond of Michelob & Schaefer
Should not be confused with John Malkovich, who was fond of
Michelle Pfeiffer.
Although Mr. Milkovisch has passed into the next
Cask of existence, (or the great Fermentation)
His teachings, as well as his temple, live on.
Dating back to the 6th Millenium BCE and relying upon
The prayer to the goddess Ninkasi, Aluminum Science,
Not to be confused with actual Aluminum Science, achieves
Its spiritual center by drinking until you pass out (celestial traveling)
Thereby achieving enlightenment (urinating in closet) and achieving
Stoic purification (hangover).
Mr. Milkovisch once said: “Hah, everyone said I would drink myself out
Of house and home. Look, I’ve drank myself into one.”

65. Regarding someone's question as to why no Scientologists have posted, the answer is that most of them now can't even see this site because their church installs filtering software on their computers so they cannot reference Forbidden Knowledge - such as the Xenu story for those below OT-3 - and things critical of Scientology. Like, how they definitely do not believe in medications, bilk people out of all their money, infiltrated and spied on the government, murder (Lisa McPherson), committed fraud, and vigorously use any and all tactics to silence criticism. Check it out for yourself.

66. Scientology may be a joke (Tom Cruise *definitely* is), but make no mistake - the Church of Scientology is DANGEROUS.

Cheryl at 2:39AM on Mar 8th 2008

67. Wow, it's heating up:
Christine-ology vs. Roccatology?!?!?

(I didn't know you were allowed to write fuckin' on here!)
(or FUCKIN'!)

(BTW there's no such thing as too many exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!)

(or too many e-initials!!!!!!)

(P>S>I AM NOT YELLING< AND I AM NOT USING CAPS LOCK> I AM HOLDING DOWN SHIFT KEY!__I AM NOT A GOOD TYPIST!!!! AND I AM FARSIGHTED!!)

WHY MUST YOU TORTURE ME WITH YOUR SMALL PRINT???
(DAMMIT!)

I always suspected Scientology was cooked up by Mark Twain, my favorite ^^ sociologist.

Hey Shannon! How's tricks? Good to "see" you!

a vote of thanks to Deb, Angell, and Gabrielle for your discussion...informative. :)

70. What's this about Christineology? Is there a representative present who can explain how it differs from snake handling charismatics? What's their stance on medical care and driver's licenses for gay illegal aliens?

Gabrielle at 9:58AM on Mar 8th 2008

71. Hi!
It was a reference to earlier posts is all... To tell you the truth I'm usually a latecomer these days and miss many.
Apparently there was a bruhaha regarding a "Christine" and the use of caps and/or of the F bomb.

My favorite F-word is FUN! (But only in caps and with exclamation points!!!)

I also enjoy frolicking (the extra K is OK with me!), fantastic!, fascination!, fondue!, foil (hats!), flo(w?)-bees!, furculae,
AND fucking!!

I am neutral on foam rubber, depending on the material's greenness.

I do not enjoy floccinaucinihilipilification.

For the most part I am a believer in humankind in all its variations and foibles.

I love all Roccats!!
AND any and all crazy Christine-ologists out there!!

(But I am kind of scared of Scientologists...)

(Thanks for clearing that the f- up!)

73. It's certainly a challenge to be a Scientologist these days. Everyone seems to think they know what you believe. Having been a Scientologist for over 17 years, I have not once bowed and scraped to an effigy of L. Ron Hubbard, I have not perused the skies for signs of life in the form of flying China patterns, and I have not given up my first born child to Rumplestiltskin. Or any of my other children for that matter.

And I have never seen a live volcano I didn't like. From a distance.

Free will is the right response. Believe whatever you want, but for god's sake (yes, I believe in God, just not the Biblical God), stop relying on blogs, wikipedia and apostates for truth. Jeez.

Do some real research into the ACTUAL religious beliefs if you want to think you are "knowledgeable" on the subject, instead of playing "thetan, thetan, who's got the thetan" and blindly following the apostles of South Park.

74. 30. Christine,

Lighten up honey! This is obviously the first time you've stumbled onto this blog and you actually think these guys are serious. These guys are all regulars and very funny. (although some of their jokes are too inside for me to always get) It's called satire also known as tongue-in-cheek humor. I loved the whole campaign for Hank Kimball - is that still on? I've haven't visited in awhile. I wonder what Christine's reaction would have been had she stumbled on here when ya'll were debating boners vs. hardons!! Ha.

Thank you Nancy.

75. Golly Gee Whiz,

It's the 1st Amendment people, let's not abuse it!

Doesn't anybody here live in South Pasadena or a sympathetic neighboring community like mine????? (BTW - You can never have enough question marks either!!!)

http://news.aol.com/story/_a/town-bans-cussing-for-one-week/20080306085209990001

Also, I wasn't really all that impressed with Christine-ology. I read her books "The TAO of CAPSLOCK" and "MEIN FRICKIN!" There were nothing but the contrived ramblings of a sociopathic sycophant.

Finally, I'm thinking of starting my own religion called FINNDU. Anyone interested??? Come on... there's reincarnation!!

Rocca the First Amendment!!!!!

P.S. - #61 - I think I have a crush on you! #64 - Fascinating piece! #66 - Thanks for the warning! #69 - That was hilarious.. one of my all-time favorite movies. Oh and thanks for all the F-words #71!
