I am not that familiar with scientology.

What exactly do they believe?

Got this info:

Scientology is a religion invented by L. Ron Hubbard, a science fiction writer who died in 1986. It is a mixture of the 'science of mental health' and religious philosophy. They believe that through their technologies and practices they can, through their own effort, achieve immortality and spiritual fulfillment.
The official numbers put the church as "ministering to some 8 million people in more than 100 countries", although how many of those 8 million are active Scientologists is not mentioned.
The upper teachings of Scientology are similar to those of a UFO based religion. They teach that Earth is a prison planet, home to the souls of millions of murdered intergalactic beings. They teach that an evil galactic overload named Xenu had them all killed in order to solve a massive overcrowding problem. This is known as Incident 2. This is not a joke. These are the actual teachings of Scientology. Ex-members have confirmed it.
Scientology claims to be compatible with all religions. This section looks at that claim, with a special focus on how it relates to orthodox Christianity.
L. Ron Hubbard, the creator of Scientology claims:
The the reason for the Islamic faith was because the trade in Mohammed's town wasn't very good, so he invented the faith to "boost" it a little
That man invented God
That there was no Christ
The Christian faith is part of an implant, a false memory planted by an evil space alien
Say that because Scientology and Christianity disagree, the Christian religion cannot be true
Have been nearly run down by a train on Venus. (yes, the planet Venus - i kid you not).

Scientology gets stranger as you read it.

So... if Scientologists believe they can achieve immortality, how come their founder is...shall we say... dead?

Darn that Xenu.

Had all these intergalatic beings killed?

Probably couldn't find a good burger of Venus, so he sent them here to find one.

Thanks. Great job!

Hubbard was a one time associate of Aleister Crowley, the black magician. Felos and friends are Scientologists. That tells us all we need to know about the effort to euthanize Terri Schiavo and others.
