scientology

The contempt with which many Christians (and really, most people) reference Scientology is eerily similar to that with which many atheists reference Christianity.

Don't get me wrong, I still think the idea of Xenu, etc., etc., is incredulous. In much the same way that most atheists view the resurrection with incredulity. I believe the term "zombie jesus" is tossed around a lot.

The only difference is, they're wrong! No really, they are. They as in the atheists. And Scientologists. And you know, if I stopped writing now, the above might be taken as a satire of the typical narrow-minded Christian. And it still might be taken as such. An inadvertant satire, if you will.

But I guess what I want to say is... you should never reject an idea out of hand? No matter how ridiculous it may seem at first glance; serious consideration at some point doesn't hurt. Because many great truths aren't iottmco (aha I just had to use this acronym).

** There are now Scientology commercials on Hulu :O
