The sheer balls of Matt Stone and Trey Parker to do an episode like this, knowing full well how petty and litigious the Church of Scientology is, makes them true comedy legends in my book. 😊
The crazy thing is, it isn’t really any crazier than other religions.
Once you decide to believe something, not only without evidence but in spite of it, all bets are off.
One of the all-time greatest episodes
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb
Didn’t Isaac Hayes, voice actor for Chef, quit because of this episode (or more realistically be told to quit by the leaders of scientology)?
Why does Scientology have what looks like and implies to be a Christian Cross as an icon for their sect?
They did the same for the Mormonism’s beliefs and their ridiculous golden plates, in “The Book of Mormon” that won something like 9 Tony awards.
Let me get this straight, scientology is like onlyfans for religeons? No money, no honey?
“Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion.”
― L Ron Hubbard
Story Time. In 2007, when this video came out I was fascinated. I was working in Tampa Florida at the time. (Clearwater is close by and is the like Mecca of Scientology) I went to work the next day and started drinking a monster energy drink and started telling my coworkers about this video and the content and all the crazy shit they believe. As I was talking, our Vice President walked by in a suit, stopped in front of me and just stared at me like a disgusting bug. After he finally left without saying a word, my coworker informed me he is a Scientologist. I was fired 3 days later for no listed cause. They have me 2 weeks pay an no unemployment (if I took the pay)
TLDR. This video got me fired.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… the fact that South Park had to put a disclaimer saying that it’s what Scientologists actually believe shows just how crazy it is, and what kind of things people are willing to believe.
I remember in my college world history class, when it came to Scientology and Mormonism, the professor (with a PhD) told us that if we were curious, to just go watch the South Park episodes on them because they covered it well.
Classic. I haven’t heard much about Scientology recently. Are they lying low or something?
I’ve always suspected that this story was a final test to see if the higher level scientologists were truly brainwashed enough to be trusted with being given power in the cult. If they hear this story and buy into it without question, then it’s clear to the leaders that the person is cult material.
I really like [this scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPBiGtVmir4) from Boston Legal about Scientology.
Feeling sad or depressed occasionally is a normal part of life. There are many healthy ways to take your mind off things that cause stress, such as taking up a hobby or engaging in positive social interaction. Avoid relying on recreational drug use as a method of coping with stress, as this can lead to addiction.
While engaging in social activities with a community of people sharing your interests can be an excellent way to develop good self-esteem and friendships, be aware that some organizations engage in predatory behavior toward people seeking a sense of belonging.
Do not engage with organizations that demand your money to be a part of the group. Do not engage with organizations who tell you to distance yourself from people outside the group. Do not engage with organizations that attempt to shame you into joining, or who tell you they are the only people that can make your life complete.
While it is normal to be sad or depressed occasionally, it is also possible to be sad or depressed most of the time. In this case, it is very likely you have a medical condition causing your depression, like I do. This is not your fault and you are not alone.
