Default Scientology: Can Someone Break It Down For Me?

Can someone explain to me what they're about? I'm not looking for a debate but an explanation and philosophy of this group...

Brotha wanton....I will teach you my young master....

In all seriousness, Scientology (not a religion) is a way of life derived from paganism, in which all is believed to have a scientific meaning rather than a "god" meaning. Scientology also is very vague....for example....I read a book about it and this was one of the examples used.....

How can in life something not be as it seems, take bamboo....its a stick thats hollow, and light, but yet incredibly strong....WHY?(scientology part)

These kinds of examples are used to assimilate real life situations, So basically, when you turn for answers, there is a "scientific answer". Scientology also has many branches, the most well known one is Kabbala (madonna is a big member of this)

I personally find it a little crazy.....but hey......

Hope that explained some of it......its amazingly confusing, and most of it doesnt make much sense, but if you have any more specifid questions, let me know.....

P.S.

Scientology......why does wantone always say daaaaaayyyyuuuuuummmmmm???

Well, 1000 years ago, when pluto aligned with mars, it created.........etc....

Scientology (exagerrated)
