Who has the best savior, Christanity or $cientology?

Check out the evidence in the following link and then post on the poll.

I think they're both fairly crazy. Waiting for a Second Coming, refusing to believe the Theory of Evolution and the Rapture is just as weird as believing in all powerful space lizzards.

But hey, live and let live.

I personally think the Christians and the Scientologists should fight it out and the winner gets Antarctica to live on.

That's not really fair. The Christians have the numerical advantage...

That's not really fair. The Christians have the numerical advantage...

Yeah but the scientologists have E-meters and other types of space alien technology.

That's not really fair. The Christians have the numerical advantage...

Okay, we let the Scientologists hire mercenaries. They can afford it.

That's not really fair. The Christians have the numerical advantage...

That's okay. They're less annoying.

That's not really fair. The Christians have the numerical advantage...

Good, they can win and go and live on Antarctica. And if they're doing a good old Christian war, there won't be any Scientologists left.

So we'll be rid of both. It's win-win, really.

Oh, absolutely.

Scientology 0, Christianity 3. They both play an awful game, but Christianity hangs on to the ball and scores a field goal in the last 30 seconds.

We've got tangible evidence for Tom Cruise's existence. He wins by default.

Jesus, of course. I mean, he can summon legions of the undead in order to subjugate the planet, shoot fireballs from his fists, and fly. All those stories about him being "peaceful" are lies. It's just the apostles figured it was better that Jesus be portrayed as a man of peace and love, instead of a world-conquering dictator of evil.

Thats what it would become, you know. A holy crusade (Or maybe Cruisade). The result would be a large colony of Christians living on a icy desert...:p

Jesus never starred in a Ridley Scott film.

Nuuu! Not my precious Antarctica!! >_<;;

I say send the Scientologists on a space ship to go confont the evil lord Xenu. They can come back when they find his head.

Jesus must be the best because He is the only Savior.

Seriously, at least Christianity is nice in theory. Scientology is abhorrent whichever way you slice it. It's like the Cult of Kali, without the awesome bits.

Edit: As long as it's nice in theory some people will make it nice in reality, like Smunkee.

Yeah... Christianity is a million times better than Scientology.

Yeah... Christianity is a million times better than Scientology.

And if I absolutely had to choose, I'd go with one that included Our Sminkee among its adherents, rather than one that includes Tom Cruise.

They should all just shut up.

Yeah... Christianity is a million times better than Scientology.However, the probability of the underlying stories is equal.

Yepyep!

Smunkee > Tom Cruise.

However, the probability of the underlying stories is equal.

Christianity is still better than Scientology.

Though probably because Jesus is a trillion times cooler than Tom Cruise could ever hope to be.

And I'm an atheist, so ner.

Yepyep!

Smunkee > Tom Cruise.

Quite so.

Christianity, for all its faults, has a lot over Scientology.

We've got tangible evidence for Tom Cruise's existence. He wins by default.

A fair point. As far as the prophets of the "big" religions are concerned we are only certain that Buddha, Mohammed and Hubbard actually existed.

Then again, I consider the story of Moses slightly more credible than the story of Xenu.

And I'm an atheist, so ner.Xenu or Yhwh? Both idiotic fabrications. Whether Yeshua or Tom Cruise is "cooler" is of no relevance. Both forms of worship should be punishable.

Oh, I think Saint Paul certainly existed. But we're talking religion, existence doesn't matter.

Looks like Tom Cruise beat Jesus of Nazareth pretty badly. But through the power of faith you can help Jesus of Nazareth into Jesus Christ. With the combined power of all the Christians Jesus Christ is able to beat Tom Cruise.

*nods*

both just want your money to my thinking

:rolleyes:

Have you not notived that none of my posts in this thread so far have been serious?

Jesus campaigned for mercy, kindness, peace, etc. while Tom Cruise campaigns for stupidity. Therefore, Jesus is cooler than Tom Cruise.

Yeah, but Nazareth, despite being a pretty lousy band in my opinion, beat the shit out of Tom Cruise.

I find it amusing when people scoff at Scientologists for their crazy beliefs about hydrogen bombs, volcanoes and evil space aliens. I mean, that's much crazier than believing that some guy who got nailed to a plank of wood two thousand years ago is your best friend and saviour.

Hey, someone must be listening! (http://news.aol.com/topnews/articles/_a/norwegian-cruise-ship-stranded-in/20070131115009990001?ncid=NWS00010000000001)

Some Christians are just plain crazy. I am Christian, but i don't give a crpa about the bible and that. I am trying to takeovet this region called Jesus. It is fun, you guys should join me.

And that consideration is based on what?

Men leading people across deserts and hearing voices on mountaintops still pop up every now and then, while there is a lack of visible supreme alien overlords with impractical spaceships.

Do note that I am talking about the likelihood of the person existing. Not about the religious aspects.

No, but thanks for the offer.

Some Christians may be crazy, but all Scientologists are.

I do have to say, however, that Christianity is mostly made up of ancient myths, but Scientology is based off a science-fiction novel.

I am not for Scientology, I am against them both.

It's good to know that there's somebody out there who's not into Scientology. :) :fluffle:

Scientology is insane. That is like worshiping a Harry Potter book. Religion in general is insane.

A novel which could be "divinely" inspired. I doubt that, but I admit it is possible.

True. :fluffle:

Christianity is based on events thousands of years ago. It is probably just a big fish tale or something happened that they could not explain, so they said it was God.

Anceint myths, yeah. In those times, if you couldn't explain something, then it must have been God.

Yay, 3000 posts! :cool::D

i would not go near with a 100 foot pole that how dum i think it is

*nods*And Jesus (http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=%22Jesus%22&word2=%22Tom+Cruise%22)Just plain kicks Tom Cruise's ass.

I wouldn't go near it with a 4755793284793274329847032784324000 foot pole.

Only 4755793284793274329847032784324000 feet?

I couldn't find a longer pole. :(

did you do it
no was it you
no
then it must be god

yes so true

3000 posts gets you :fluffle: :fluffle:

I couldn't find a longer pole. :(

I'm sure if one were to gather all the money Scientology has made over the years, you could easily afford to make three or four much longer poles.

"Mom, Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet!"

i would love to take that money off them and see how long they last

And that consideration is based on what?

Thinking skills.

We know for sure that billions of people were not stuffed in volcanoes and blown up with hydrogen bombs. On the other hand, there's a chance that the Israelites were actually in Egypt at one point.

i would love to take that money off them and see how long they last

About a day.

About a day.

If that.

It is. We know that people actually got crucified at some point. We know that said practice resulted in a religion. We know that there were a number of people claiming to be the Messiah at that time. Compare to Scientology, which all it has going for it is the fact that volcanoes and thermonuclear bombs exist.

like the movie "Dumb and Dumber"

who knows
but it would take me long to work out what to spend it on

I wouldn't go near it with a 4755793284793274329847032784324000 foot pole.
Such a pole, however, would prove very useful were you ever to find yourself near it.

I give the edge to Christianity - because it is slightly more believable.

Somethings mentioned in the bible are historically accurate, but that God had any affect on them is bull crap. Scientology has nothing historically accurate

Well, religion shouldn't be about history anyway. The difference in the texts is more to do with the fact that the Bible is full of allegory and the occasional decent piece of ethical thinking, while Scientology is just a story with no real application.

I do think it's less likely that Christianity started with Jesus betting John the Baptist that he could start his own religion based on a badly selling book, which I think is actually one theory about why Hubbard started Scientology (with a different friend, not John the Baptist).

Out of interest, has anyone here ever actually met a Scientologist?
