Hm, could someone explain it to me? Without the Jargon?
Is it like the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but people commit murder in the name of it?

Basically, Scientology is a scam. They use brainwashing to take money away from people who believe that it is a real religion. There are plenty of cases showing that Scientologists are not above using violence to keep from being exposed. Followers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster do not brainwash people into join the ranks of our Pastafarians ranks. Instead we use cool Internet Flash Games.

Hm, sounds like Nenaism, but we use music.
I mean, Pastafarianism, not Scientology. Burning people's skin off ftl.
But I mean, what is it? I yearn for more.

An evil alien emperor killed a lot of aliens and imprisoned their ghosts on earth. Then the the emperor, I think his name is Xenu, brainwashed these ghosts into believing things like other religions. Then he trapped the ghosts in Earth's volcanoes (or something).
The ghosts got out and have possessed humans ever since, making humans feel sad.
Scientology gets rid of your ghosts and sadness.

And the money from your bank account. Free thyself of thy shackles, brothers. (Ok, that was low, but the point is valid)

In addition to what other people have said, it's all based on a science fiction novel by Elron Hubbard, an author from earlier in the 20th century. He ended up writing a PUBLISHED essay on how he could make a lot of money by creating a bogus religion and charging for admission. And he did. Shows you how retarded some people can be (not Elron, that man was a genious).

Yes, hubbard was a well established sci-fi novelist and people still beleive it . And to continue on what Hunessai was saying. Hubbard writes that by monertering someones E waves you can tell if they are happy or unhappy. They hook you up to a machine where you hold 2 electrodes to mesure this, then they fix you using the information.

I really do hope I never end up running from a naked through the woods from a scientologist.

Jebus, Scientology sounds nuts! Even more nuts than Nena-ism! *is now fastened securely to faith*

Yes, despite the fact that L. Ron (Nor Elrond..that was a LOTR character, Comike) died like 30 years ago.

You got him on L. Ron, but Comike did say "was a genius."

L. Ron was a businessman, as most succesful authors are. He was also crafty and charismatic. It's no wonder he has accumulated such a large following of people with below average intelligence. It's the old Cult of Personality syndrome.

Heh, no . That link I posted a few posts ago takes you to a site by some insider dude. One of his essays is on how L. Ronald (thanks Pilaf) outlawed humor within the church. He says something like, "a sense of humor is an attempt to be destructive," and that no one should express mirth in any way while inside a scientology building. This may explain Isaac Hayes' retarded decision to leave SP, and Tom Cruise's lack of finding anything funny at all about that 100% brilliantly hillarious episode.
