Same story told from the other side.  So perhaps Xenu is the real and living God, and L. Ron Hubbard is the bad guy, trying to convince his followers that God is the bad guy and just gave him a different name.

It's just a thought experiment.  Some people believe that all religions are equally fake.  I believe that all religions other than Christianity are equally fake.  But some fake religions are more oppressive than others.

Repent; the end is near.

/me sticks his hands up.  lol.

While as we all here know, i dont believe ( and never will ), i do accept that many people need to believe in something better/larger than themselves due to a variety of reasons. its their brain, so their prerogative. Just dont come after me and try to force me to believe the same... ( not saying anyone here does .. just a topical statement )  But, organized religion, i will always feel that they are created to fleece and control the believers.  

Speaking of, around here. witnesses ( i think ) randomly setup little stands around town with books and normally 2 operators, and try to stop you as you walk past. Really uncool.  Sure, fly your flag, its a mostly free country, but dont approach me as i'm going past you.  Or come to my door, it says 'no soliciting' for a reason, and yes, regardless of what they think or say they ARE selling something.    And speaking of I need to print some FSM flyers in color, and hand them out next time i see them around. LoL.

My dogs approve of that message.
