I quit looking at Drudge when I kept getting bombarded with spyware and pop ups. Drudge's time has come and gone. Tom would have to pull off a spectacular blockbuster to get where he used to be. Of Hollywood being what it is, who knows. I rarely go to the movies.

I think Scientology is a great social/anthropological experiment that can benefit mankind. Seriously, sort of.

Scientology has failed on it's own merits. Hubbard claimed that it would create super people, able to leap tall buildings, cure diseases, etc.

It hasn't in 50 years created anything other than (celebrities) and other morons handing it money. Yet they come back for more. Tom Cruise believes he is a successful actor because of Scientology. Even though other people are just as successful, it doesn't matter. I am truly curious as to how long the scam can run, before people leave in mass. Can it go 100 years without super beings being created with people still gullable to pony up the cash? I think it can. Says something about humanity.

Hey! I've joined (and been deprogrammed from) Scientology, EST, Hara Krishna, the Process, the Guru Majaraji, Trancendental Mediation, Esalen, the Jesus Freaks and Children of God (run by that great satirist David "Moses" Berg who, as you know, also had a brilliant career with Mad Magazine, though with a decidedly different drawing style).

And every day, we'd sign songs and make fun of all cartoons, but especially Southpark. Well, all except for the dour Scientologists. Oh, yeah, they'd make funny faces at Peanuts, Beatle Bailey and Nancy, but, come on! I once produced a frame of Cartman and you would have thought I'd produced a clove of garlic.

Yes, Sittin Yonder, I've been there and can talk. In fact, I'm forming my own cartoon-satirizing cult. I'm channelling L. Ron Hubbard and Mary Baker Eddy, and am forming Christian Scientology. We'll meet in big megachurches, and you'll be expected to contribute $1000.00 every time the place comes around. I'm writing the last chapters now, where in the end Jesus, Albert Einstein and Xenu all become good friends.

Is that why so many scams come out of there? Most of the fake "you won" letters I get in the mail are from clearwater.

Will he have to wear some sort of silly little outfit as a Super Power?

You could read Dianetics but have a friend lockup your wallet before you finish it.

And if they talk you into getting their counseling (bwahahahaha), and you don't run, be sure to appoint that friend as your power of attorney before you go.

It's a Super Power that separates your money from your wallet.

"If anyone on this planet needs Jesus the most, its these people."

And/or anti-psychotic medication and/or a long jail sentance.

What Hubbard really predicted was that it could make a lot of money.

So you would be a PerSceptic ??? LOL

Sounds like you know too much. ;-)

Get out your checkbook, you need some time for 'therapy' and more training...

Persceptics! Ha! It's like L.Ron pulled tiles out of a scrabble box...

All these above comments are quite funny, though some are mere insults and denote no tolerance by mainly a Christian and Conservative and Mannerly group of folks.

I have followed this website and the news and comments for years and only the last few months decided to log in and comment. I have followed various issues from the news and topics such as my Religion - Scientology.

I respect others beliefs and Religion and feel that this is just the right thing to do. Freedom of speech though is not something I wish to have hindered, so all of you who bash my Religion, just realize that intolerance of other's beliefs and practices of a Religious nature has an impact upon one doing this. It is not that anyone will be after you about it, for you have freedom of speech, but that maybe you will just find that you have done to another an unkind thing. This alone will have enough of an impact upon you. Next time when you profess your Religious belief or try and talk to another to help them find a better road to take and offer up your beliefs don't be suprised if you have problems with this, for you have started the chain of events going by in-tolerance of another's position.

Super Power will be released and many persons will partake in it and it will help our society. This is my belief, and after I do it, I will then know and not have a belief about it, for there will be certainty there to replace the belief. Alot has gone into this project as far as time and funding and sweat. There are many now studying to learn it well so as to deliver it to the Public, so that they may achieve more Spriitual ability and raise their responsibility in their own lives.

Perhaps those reading this, the small amount of folks who take the time to read these comments, these persons should know that there is something valid about a person's belief and practice of their religion and it is a personal thing and it is best not to bash it, or make nothing of it. For what is being done here is that you are in effect saying that this person is a fool, or worse. It borders on a personal attack, of which this comment section does not permit, and really makes Free Republic look bad and makes it look like a collection of fools itself, which it is not.

I have served this country in the USN. My Family has service in the Military also. I am Republican and Patriotic and love this Country, but I also have a different Religion than most of you. Won't you please be kind enough to grant me too some kindness and stop with bashing?

Thanks for your time.

Wow!
