Scientology: The New Kabbalah
The boys and I ventured to the dollar store today to pick up a few items. I got some muffin tins, cleaning supplies, batteries, etc. You get the idea. So, Kyle comes up to me and asks me if I'm a brain cell. I'm not kidding. I gave him a weird look, after which, he produced a book from behind his back, Scientology: A New Slant on Life by L. Ron Hubbard. I'm so not kidding. In the dollar store. 1 freaking dollar. Talk about your dollar menu religions! There was absolutely no way we were passing this opportunity up. There are just too many entertaining aspects to buying and reading a book on Scientology written by its founder...besides it was only a dollar. As we pulled away from the store, I couldn't resist sneaking a peek into my new find. If you don't own this book, BUY IT NOW...again, I'm so not kidding. The introduction is amazing. I laughed. They laughed. We all laughed. There was one part that I found particularly amusing that talked about not understanding what you read because the words could be incorrectly defined. Alan asked, "if you have a definition, then don't you know what the word means?" I answered him, "No, not necessarily. What L. Ron is trying to define here is called The Basic Principle of Balderdash." I can not wait for chapter 10: Marriage...more updates to come. Again, not kidding.SOUTHPARKOWNS!!!

Scientology...or, well, scientologists...freaking weirdos. I mean, every religion has it's quirks, but alien souls roaming the earth? Sounds like great science fiction...not a bases for a system of belief. But then, what would I know. I haven't paid them enough money to have it all explained to me so that I can understand. Following my thorough brainwashing, of course.
Can't wait to see what other craziness will insue when we decide to brave the world outside of the house again.
