redfirebird2008 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 You could say the same thing about any religion. Christianity is a massive scam to some as well. Just because one is followed by the masses doesn't make it any less of a scam. The bigger the lie, the more people believe it. The difference being all other religions can be practiced for free while Scientology cannot. You have to pay out the ass to get "lessons" and by the time they finally reveal the truth of their theology (some sci-fi junk about aliens), you've spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Would Jesus be a social media whore if he were with us circa 2015 ? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram ... Could he beat Katy Perry, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian in number of followers ? Edited June 28, 2015 by The Futurist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a scienetology personality test once upon a time for free. Per Scientolgoy, I'm depressed, super intelligent, and need Scientology. Yeah, ok, I'll pass. But my IQ test was through the roof!

The Futurist Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) Yeah, Sony can still fight to keep the rights. I think Universal or WB will end up with it if Sony doesn't keep it. Think Sony doesn 't have the Bond rights per say. They just distribute and market the movie and win a percentage fee for doing that. The character belongs to two families, the Broccolis & the other one. And it was at MGM first. Edited June 28, 2015 by The Futurist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozymandias Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I'm tellin ya, the only reason why Scientology is seen as utterly batshit is because its a really new religion. This one doesn't even have holy scriptures endorsing murder, rape, etc unlike another one I can point to in the news everyday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're actually doing more than that...ie, cofi... Still, it's not the same as having the rights...but it's still lucrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey ghost Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I thought I would get the jump on everyone by giving Ted 2 a conservative 175 m in the bsg. What the actual fuck? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 I think we should nip this in the bud real fast. Let's keep religion out of this thread. I don't want to get the thread shut down. T2 is so good. Love the gun inside the box of roses. So subtle but so cool. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
