Church Of Scientology Investigates South Park

I have a hard time understaning Scientology. I just don't get it. From what I have read, it seems like a cult.

Hi bostonphil I agree with you; most (if not all) religions have critics. Almost anything can and does have them. Just about anything that a person is not a part of or does not understand is a potential target of criticism. I don't think that art (which South Park is) should be investigated by anyone for their portrayal, either positive or negative. South Park also makes references to Jesus, but I still watch the show,and I am Christian. The Venus de Milo is art, it's naked from the waist up, but you don't see it displayed with a covering on it. We generally don't stymie art to fit a purpose. Basically if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!

If it's true, where is the "dirt" they found? lol

It would serve no purpose because no one would really care what they dug up. South Park is makes fun of everyone, and South Park fans don't seem to me like the type of people to stop watching because a butt-hurt religious fanatic pulled the creators skeletons out of the closet.

Right. Expose Parker and Stone. Because they take themselves so seriously. Good luck with that.

I don't think that the people in the Church of Scientology understand that South Park makes fun of everybody, that's just what they like to do.

Then they have made it! They are a true religion. It is the 21st century! They can't have heretics killed like the good old days. All they can do is discredit them.

Not to be confused with Religious Science, Christian Science, or Epistemology. Scientology The Scientology cross has eight corners representing the eight dynamics of existence.[1] Formation 1953 Type Religious / Commercial[2] Headquarters Gold Base Riverside County, California[3] Chairman of Religious Technology Center David Miscavige Website scientology.org Remarks Flagship facility: Church of Scientology International, Los Angeles, California, USA Scientology is a body of beliefs and related practices created by science fiction and fantasy author L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986), starting in 1952, as a successor to his earlier self-help system, Dianetics.[4] Hubbard characterized Scientology as a religion, and in 1953 incorporated the Church of Scientology in Camden, New Jersey. Scientology teaches that people are immortal beings who have forgotten their true nature. Its method of spiritual rehabilitation is a type of counselling known as auditing, in which practitioners aim to consciously re-experience painful or traumatic events in their past in order to free themselves of their limiting effects. Study materials and auditing courses are made available to members in return for specified donations.[9] Scientology is legally recognized as a tax-exempt religion in the United States and some other countries, and the Church of Scientology emphasizes this as proof that it is a bona fide religion. If South Park disrespect them they should ask for a excuse, because everubody have to respect the beliefs of the others.

The "church" actually spent the money to hire private investigators to follow Matt stone and trey Parker around to find something that could use to black mail them with. Ultimately, they found nothing. I actually just watched this episode today. One of my favorites
