POPSThe idiocy of claiming non belief is belief This is a common argument presented by the two trolls willhelm and darkeforce. In their world up is down, down is up, and after smearing poop on their own face they point at other people and call them shitheads. It's a world of redefining terms to suit their needs, cherry picking the foundation of their religion (the bible) to shore up their beliefs, and a pathological need to project their own requirements of blind faith on other people. It's the only way they can level the playing field when they know what irrational nuts they sound like when trying to defend their claims. Their only recourse - an ad hominem false equivalency approach in order to appear equal.

POPSTom defends Scientology "Lies", said Tom flatly. "L. Ron Hubbard was a great man, the inventor of atomic power, the discoverer of seven continents - previously only inhabited by pre-clears - and he's not actually dead, he's on another planet, introducing Dianetics and The Way to Happiness to them. At least those with usable currency." Oprah then thanked him for clearing all that up, and moved on to her next guest, Suzanne Somers and her new book, "How I Kicked Cancer's Ass with the Power of the ThighMaster".

POPS10 Post-Modern Religions Info: Oh, you thought I was going to forget Him, didn’t you? His Noodlyness wouldn’t be pleased. In an open letter to the Kansas School Board, Bobby Henderson challenged the state to either include his version of Intelligent Design or dismiss it from the curriculum altogether. He gives a very convincing argument for the belief system of his Noodly Savior. Bobby claims that he has written documentation that the world was created by a flying spaghetti monster. He demands that if the Board is okaying the admission of teaching in school systems about the Christian God and his teachings, then the FSM teachings should be included as well.<<

POPSSupreme Court Declares First Amendment Unconstitutional Satire writers write fiction and people believe them <br><br> "The amendment has become meaningless", said Chief Justice John Roberts in issuing the majority opinion. "People are practicing religions that call for the slaughter of animals or the practice of Scientology. News reporters are reporting all kinds of things without revealing their sources. Satire writers write fiction and people believe them. Drunken women are dancing naked on counter tops claiming it's 'free speech'. These days when people 'peaceably assemble' you can rest assured there's pot smoking going on. And the legislature is overwhelmed by people trying to redress grievances to the point that they are generally ignored. The amendment no longer retains the meaning or spirit in which is was written by our founding fathers".

POPSBritain's secret Scientology files more: They include a signed statement by former senior Scientologist, John McMaster, who said Hubbard and others faked ‘qualifications’ in Dianetics, the spiritual ‘science’ behind Scientology. He said: "I understand it is asserted that L Ron Hubbard was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Sequoia University on February 10, 1953, in recognition of his outstanding work in the fields of Dianetics and Scientology and that the said degree was recorded with the Department of Education of the State of California. “The position is L Ron Hubbard (and others) acquired premises somewhere in Los Angeles which they had registered as a university called Sequoia and immediately awarded each other doctorates.” The inquiries were initiated by Whitehall officials who sent an urgent telegram from London to the British consulate in LA.

POPSJohn Travolta reportedly scared to leave Church of Scientology According to the report, Travolta has cancelled all work commitments since Jett's death. He reportedly resents going along with Scientology's prescribed treatment for Jett's condition. The church does not recognise autism as genuine, but instead believes it to be merely psychosomatic. The church recommends treatment with vitamins and a detox program, not prescription medicines. It is also reported that the church's response to the teenager's death has been to conduct "intensive sessions" with so-called ethics officers, whose job is to question Travolta and other family members to determine if their "negative influences" caused the tragedy.

POPSWisdom of Crowds - Unless You are a Scientologist I think scientologists are a bunch of thieving cheats who prey on the weak-minded. But that means they can now have zero input on anything? I thought this whole crowd-sourcing thing was just peace and love and paper airplanes.
