And what about the fact they belong to a religion that teaches of Xenu, evil head of the Galactic Confederation? Who flew people to Teegeeack (Earth) 75-million years ago in space ships, chained them to volcanos and blew them up with hydrogen bombs, releasing exploded "thetans" that are now the source of most human suffering?

Well, it's not something savvy insiders would normally emphasize.

Van Susteren and Coale are Scientologists. But unlike members of established religions, whose own beliefs might seem improbable if they weren't so widely held, these part-time Clearwater residents are not exactly eager to draw attention to this fact.

From the St. Petersburg Times. (Notice the poke at "established religions".)

How could anyone, especially those that one would think had some smarts buy into this garbage? Got to be some heavy duty brainwashing going on, or some big money to be made. A lot of celebrities are scientolgists. Do they really believe in that crap? It just astounds the mind.

Maybe Mel Gibson's next movie should be an expose on Scientolgy. If he thinks the The Passion caused an uproar! LOL

All the fuss with Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes and her conversion to Scientology in prep for their marriage may draw attention to this, perhaps. It sounds to me like a 20th Century fiction piece that bamboozled people who would normally be considered sane.

"...Xenu, evil head of the Galactic Confederation? Who flew people to Teegeeack (Earth) 75-million years ago in space ships, chained them to volcanos and blew them up with hydrogen bombs, releasing exploded "thetans" that are now the source of most human suffering?"

Can I get reparations for this?
