scientology kills
A friend got a handwritten letter from a Scientology recruitment center, asking him to come in for a "Personality Test". I began to tell him how evil and insane the cult of Scientology actually is, and wasn't at all surprised by his not knowing anything about this psuedo-religion- not many people do, Scientology prefers to keep their actual beliefs, methods, and fundraising skills a secret.
So, here's some knowledge:

Compare with their official site: scientology.org. And decide for yourself. (Be wary of personality tests and Scientology Test Centers, which are springing up everywhere)

Most of what we know about the past is mere speculation and inference. Humanity is always blind to its own history; since no document is completely reliable and ancient artifacts themselves abound with unknown, complex symbology.
(In four or five hundred years from now, the Nazi swastika may lose its meaning and future historians, trying to decipher some WWII relic, would be apt to form a connexion with its earlier Native American or Jewish forms- Thus, completely misinterpreting the swastika's place in modern-man's symbology, and altering the historical record into nonsense. This kind of mistake has happened throughout time.)
Here are some examples of misunderstood symbols, still being deciphered and their interpretations re-evaluated:
-The classical Roman cult of Mithras (contemporaneous with another eastern mystery cult, that of Christ) has been analyzed anew by David Ulansey .
-The Six-pointed Star (Star of David, Seal of Solomon, etc.), is seen as the Mark of the Beast by this fanatic.
-Carl Jung and his disciples have breathed new life into the mysterious symbols of Alchemy.
-And, Gnosticism (Xtian & otherwise) is full of cryptic strangeness.

So yes, I'd almost forgotten about this. Shawn Hanrahan has threatened me, and so I'll add this:
Here I stand, along busy/mountainous Route 2 in the Sky Valley. The cars rush past at 70+ mph while I hike along the 2-foot wide shoulder of the road. This car is going so fast the it seems to have bent the laws of physics and is somehow condensed. I look on, unperturbed.
Is it wise to skate around downtown whilst drunk? Maybe I am waiting for the bus.
