The Rockin' Sounds of Scientology

The Church posted a hilarious review of the Church of Scientology's cd - featuring such musical greats as John Travolta and Frank Stallone, Sylvester's brother. The music was written by former COS leader, L. Ron Hubbard, and is basically about his intergalactic fantasies of the origin of humankind.

Without going in to the history of Scientology, I must say this: What kind of loser believes this tripe? I mean, really. We are on earth now because of an intergalactic space battle that went amok?! This is fucking nonsense. I won't even begin to apologize to anyone who might believe this because I simply cannot forgive such blatant ignorance.

I am all about defining new ways of expressing spirit, but any formal organization that makes money off of naive followers must be exposed for what it is. In this case, it is Scientology.

Here's a little taste of what David had to say ...

10. L'envoi - Thank You For Listening
Featuring L. Ron Hubbard

Brace yourself.

Whatever you think Hubbard sounds like, brace yourself for this song.
Hubbard apparently recorded this a capella, and then they set music to it after
he died. He sounds like Boris Karloff singing in How The Grinch Stole Christmas.
In this creepy song, Hubbard explains that he doesn't sing what he believes, he
only sings facts.

Uh-huh.

The song ends with this note: "Truth is truth and if they then decide to
live with lies, that's their concern not mine, my friend, they're free to
fantasize."

Indeed.

For more of the Church's review, go here. I recommend listening to the above.

I am speechless...
