Scientology vs. Enron

I LOVE South Park - along with its creators Matt Stone & Trey Parker. I tend to enjoy following press releases as they are related to Trey & Matt versus The World of Regulations. As many of you may know, the episode known as "Anti-Scientology" has been forceably removed from Comedy Central by the Cult of Scientology. I have been thinking that with all this hubbub, Scientology has become very much like Enron.

Shall we compare to prove my point? Why yes, I think we shall!

Enron : A company which made global investments in electric, natural gas, and communications business ventures creating a profitable, investor-friendly environment.
Scientology : A religious organization which advises investments in spiritual freedom through teaching and preaching, creating a profitable environment by charging for services.

Enron : High ranking executives "get rich quick" through innovative marketing and accounting practices which elevated the company into instant fame.
Scientology : High ranking church officials "get rich and stay rich" by pressuring members pay exorbitant fees to read questionably innovative publications for advancing individual spirituality.

Enron : As insider trading and illegal accounting practices leak into the public eye, bribes are paid to government officials throughout the world to "keep things quiet".
Scientology : As ranking members begin to leave the church and curious minds speak out about their finding, they are threatened, ruined, and even murdered to "keep things secret".

Enron : As the end drew near, massive cover-ups and public relations campaigns were launched to put the company in a positive light as the world of Enron came crashing down, forcing bankruptcy and financial ruin.
Scientology : With each passing day more and more people become educated about the deceit of the Cult, as Scientologist officials fight to "keep the faith" alive by launching massive cover-ups that may further force the church into financial ruin.

Clearly, where there is smoke there is fire... and Scientology is being burned to a crisp. I love Freedom of Speech , and anoyone who seeks to squelch our great American freedoms can dutifully kiss my ass.

Breifly, Scientology preaches that unhapiness comes from Body Thetans that infest our souls with the misery of their deaths 100 million billion years ago... for the full details CLICK HERE then select WATCH THIS MOVIE.

L. Ron Hubbard was a brilliant manipulator when you consider that idea of telling people on a global scale that if they are unhappy, you have the key... but only if they are able to pay a nominal fee. Unhappy individuals are forced into becoming as successful as their intelligence will allow to be able to afford the key to happiness.

I'd rather preach ethical egoism, but it's not as profitable because it tells people the key to happiness is making a way for yourself without manipulating anyone besides yourself. Any religion that says it can cure your unhappiness is lying. Unhappiness is a state of mind that only you can cure for yourself. Accept your past, in this life and previous lives, and be thankful for living through your experiences. Look yourself in the mirror and appreciate each day that is given to you, along with the pains and joys it may bring. The only thing that can make you truly happy is appreciating yourself for who are.

To end for today, I wish to post a quoted press release that sums up a true understanding of recent events between South Park and the Cult of Scientology:

"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"
