Curiosity didnt REALLY kill the cat, did it?

I happened to come across an article about Will Smith giving money to Scientology...
one link led to another, and i was absolutely shocked at what I found.

First of all, I checked the scientology website...nothing was really out of the ordinary, but I found that you could find only very limited information about the religion. It kept telling you to buy the books. That came as no surprise to me, seeing as they charge each of their members $250,000 dollars to "join."

If Tom Cruise and Will Smith, and a few other famous actors can join, why not? right?

I found a very bogus-sounding article, that at the same time made some sense. But to believe what its saying is a whole other topic. the article literally made my head spin with thoughts of "Is this actually for real?"

The whole time I was reading it I was thinking: "someone actually wrote this down on paper? someones actually making people BELIEVE this?"

Seeing that this is my blog, I think I have the freedom to write down my thoughts. If you dont agree with me, thats ok. reading what I post next may either make you laugh about it, or make you search up more about scientology...I assure you. there is NO site telling you exactly what you do. For some reason all of the sites only go so far. You would have to become a "member" to really know.

Heres the link for the messed up article i stumbled across:http://www.larabell.org/ultimate.html

and for the article that seems real... im hoping it is. It seems like it was written from someone who was either in the cult or who had a friend who gave information about it.

from what i hear, the more liberal of this "cult"..who do not believe in harming others, have gotten away from the original religion and started up their own..

regardless...

why must humans run mindless things through their heads to feel more secure?
is it to have a meaning? to have a more purposeful life?
war exhists simply because that is human nature. who starts the wars is an entirely different story..

My belief is that we are here simply because we are.
Just as dogs and cats and worms and snails, birds and the like..
we're here.
yet we are the only beings that have to follow religions to feel more worthy.
are we advancing, or are we slowing ourselves down with these religions?
have we strayed off of the path of true meaning?
Maybe we have. but we may never know.

I guess i should stick this in here somewhere : I dont have a Religion. I dont hate Religion, but i dont hold any desire to become a follower. While i have the chance, i'll also put in that i wouldnt want to be a leader of a new religion, or an old one.
What i believe in is we got here somehow..that i dont know. But i dont believe that being on your knees, believing in something youve never seen before or come across, is doing anything spectacular for this world. Yes - we got here somehow. Yes - it is a miracle how it happened. No- i dont believe that something is watching over me. Thats just the way my mind works, I guess.

I hope someone else searches up "what is scientology?" just like i did, and somehow come across my very- biased opinion, some would say. Yet at the same time, its freedom of speech. Its Human Rights.If anyone has anymore juicy gossip about this wretched topic dont hesitate to E-mail me.
