I don't care what anyone says, South Park is the best cartoon of all time. And despite his common racist attitudes, Cartman is the best cartoon character of all time. But it still wouldn't be the same without Chef's innapropriate songs of advice. Not to mention his parents, whose stories are infamous for including the lochness monster and a sum of "tree-fitty."
So, a message for Isaac Hayes:
When it comes to religious ridicule, you can dish it out, but you can't take it.
Thanks.

The scientologists don't discuss certain parts of it - the volcanoes, the aliens, etc. If they're so sure of it all, why not be up front.

Sad huh?
Check the index of the BOOK. I don't happen to carry it around in my mind. BUT Gibbons has some VERY FUnnie things to say about Islam.

Well, there's a lot online, I'm sure if I tool around enough I'll come across an index. Thanks.
How do you know that ?
Gibbons also believes that Christianity was one of the main causes of the downfall of the Western Empire.
"Most likely Isaac Hayes was BLACKMAILED by the Scientologists into quitting SP."
Spot on. Scientology Inc. probably told Hayes that he would be cast out of their cult FOREVER if he didn't abandon South Park. Either that, or they have some serious dirt on him.
Either way, you are probably right!!!
One of the funniest parts of the episode was the credits. Everyone was listed as "John Doe." Great!
Not seeing the threat here.
Scientology whackos bump!
These folks are beyond whacko, though.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
I remember the days when no one dared even spell out Scientology on the net, for fear of being set on by it's lawyers.
Plus there were/all these "Scientologists Anonymous" sites where folks could post negative stuff and feel safe from retaliation.
Wow, we've come a long way.
On The Situation with Tucker Carlson, one of Tucker Carlson's lesbian buddies he has on the show actually stated she will not go after and attack scientology out of fear of what may happen to her.
In the next breathe, she was slamming Christians over the "gay issue" (homosexual agenda), saying in effect, "I am not afraid of Christians."
It was pathetic.
We most certainly have.
It's actually more interesting than that. In the late 1940s, Hubbard was tight with Jack Parsons--one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and a follower of Aleister Crowley's crackpot Thelemic religion. From a recent bio of Parsons:
"It is hard to ignore certain similarities between Crowley's Thelema and Hubbard's Scientology. Both religions have as leaders charismatic men with logorrheic tendencies. Both preach that man is an immortal spiritual being, that his capabilities are unlimited, and that his spiritual salvation depends upon his attainment of a "brotherhood with the universe." While Thelema was born of the Old World, however, Scientology was distinctly a product of the new. The OTO rose out of the Victorian fascination with mysticism, magic, and the secret societies of Europe. Scientology was a direct product of the twentieth century's childlike trust in scientific knowledge, the success of scientific fantasy, and the Californian desire for self improvement."
