| I just read about the church of the subgenius now, and it leads me to be VERY worried about society. Please note that if you are in a "religion" (hereafter to be referred to as cult) like this, you will be offended to no end.
people dumb enough to believe in something like that... will definitely hurt the world to say the least. I realize this is an old religion, but along with scientology and other cults, this is seriously a problem. how can our society LET people take advantage of those... less intelligent? freedom of religion can (and must) be limited. they limited speech (through censorship) and they can make up a term to do it to religion as well... it is obvious that people who started these only want money. I know this may seem offensive (me calling people idiots and all) but please, read the descriptions for these cults first; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius http://www.subgenius.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology you may ask what the difference between these and other religions are: it is simple -- not only have religions been practiced for centuries, but at least they try (or did try) to put real meaning in life rather than make excuses for why aliens did not abduct them. this brings me to another point: how can anyone (with the exception of the mentally slow or ill) be dumb enough to believe this garbage. If when I die, I go to hell (Im an athiest, so that will be surprise to me enough) and I see some dude with a pipe give me $90 bucks and sell me a book for $89.95, I'll go straight to the devil himself and ask for a light (which is even more surprising because I dont smoke). what are your thoughts on this? |

| This thread seems like it would just be one long endless rant, because I'm not quite sure what you're talking about. If you're talking about scientology we already have a thread for that. I'm not sure why you listed the Sub-Genius people, as they're a parody.
Either way, this thread is bound to go down in flames and will be closed. If you can think of a more coherent point that doesn't already have a thread related to it, then by all means post it. But this is going in the trash *ahem* the Pit of Despair. |
