Scientology's Alien Space Cathedral Found?

A secret bunker hidden deep within the deserts of New Mexico is reported to be the "alien space cathedral" of the Church of Scientology, according to the author of a new book on Scientology.

The site is marked by a large symbol etched onto the desert floor: two diamonds surrounded by a pair of overlapping circles, according to the British newspaper The Sun. A private airstrip, built to serve the controversial church's leaders, is within walking distance of the symbol.

The entire complex is located near Mesa Huerfanita, N.M., roughly two-hour's drive from Santa Fe, N.M., and three hours north of Roswell, N.M., site of numerous purported UFO sightings, according to The Sun.

Interesting reading about the new age Mayans.

From same article:

The Sun report, penned by BBC journalist (and author) and Scientology debunker John Sweeney, claims the church designed the underground site to withstand a nuclear holocaust. Hidden within the complex's vaults are titanium caskets that hold gold disks inscribed with the original texts of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, according to the Daily Mail.

Like all believers in space fairies, you can work all sorts of stuff into 'proof' that your lot of fairy tales are real

Rainbows are proof that gay gods exist cos of the colour combination!

I'm not sure why people constantly mock this 'Church'.

The whole alien space cathedral is no more ridiculous than following a cosmic space zombie by symbolically eating his flesh and telepathically repenting of your sins to him because some sand-rib-made crazy woman was persuaded by an anthropomorphic snake to eat an apple from a magical tree.

So, really. Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Scientology...same shit, different maker.

OT's or not, OT haters aside,

(hey..they ain't no more wack-o than the others, give them a couple hundreds of years like the Mormons

or more like the Amish or forever like the Kathlicks. John got a bit 'greasy' with that video...drunk maybe?

But, I'd take that fucking T-Bird back to my Pan-Hellenic abode. for sure for sure.

Probably it's the combination of the fact that it was written by an open sci-fi writer who many believe was inordinately amused that people took it seriously, and SO seriously, as a religion. And if you were around Scientologists, real, actual day to day believers, you'd know why this is more ridiculous than the norm. They take something so fundamentally ridiculous so completely over-seriously.

And I am absolutely positive people in 100BC thought the Bible was equally bonkers. People are more educated now so it's harder to poison the well, but damn, Scientology might be the norm 1000+ years from now!

They did. That's why all religions proceed from being cults to being religions. Scientology hasn't evolved into a millenium of cultural tradition and practice. It's still just a cult, and it's wacky and wierd.

Apparently, the vaults are supposed to hold information so when there's some type of holocaust/disaster, there is information there that could help rebuild humanity in a Church of Scientology way...

(but discretely of course)

[Lefty]

I don't believe in mocking what I may have outgrown

and I especially don't believe in mocking others that are

anywhere on a learning path...

and yes, I do still believe in the SPIRIT of Santa Claus.

Exactly! All religion is bullshit

That may be true for you Sir.

And religions have done considerable harm through the years

(not nearly as much harm as old age though)

BUTT,

Religions have also helped a lot of people through hard times.

me, I still like to believe in this
