No, really! I can't stop laughing. Have a look at this:

Quote:
Revealed - the 'alien space cathedral' built in New Mexico desert by Tom Cruise’s Scientology church (Daily Mail)
  • Secret New Mexico base is built to withstand a nuclear attack
  • It reportedly holds the original texts of Scientology founder L Ron Hubbard
  • Scientologists reportedly believe in sinister extraterrestrial emperor Xenu
  • But church leaders routinely deny this or any talk of aliens
  • BBC reporter John Sweeney investigated site for new book
These giant symbols etched into the desert are a welcoming message to aliens from Tom Cruise's deeply secretive church of Scientology.

The religion, which believes a sinister extraterrestrial being called Xenu brought billions of people to earth in spaceships similar to DC8 airliners, operates a giant underground base hidden deep within the New Mexico desert.

BBC reporter John Sweeney, who famously clashed with Scientologists during a Panorama report in 2007, travelled to the site dubbed Scientology's 'alien space cathedral', to research a new book.

Hidden some 30 miles from the nearest town, the base is reportedly home to a huge underground bunker, built in the 1980's and strong enough to withstand a nuclear holocaust.

Deep inside its vaults sealed within titanium caskets, are the original texts of founder L Ron Hubbard on gold discs - the religion's most sacred scriptures.


Bizarre, and deeply deeply comical to boot. What planet are these people living on? I am seriously worried for their mental health.

What I really want to know is that are we supposed to accept and respect their beliefs, or should we laugh them out of existence?

I don't know how to feel about this story. I really want to believe this, but it's the Daily Mail...

Obvious question: is the "cathedral" entirely underground? Is it directly below the markings?

The Daily Mail isn't always wrong. No-one can be always wrong. Well, some people can, but then they're usually in charge of countries.

One wonders if anyone would take offence if the alien visitors shouted "nice tits!" or similar.

So we happened upon the stopped clock at just the moment when it really was the time of day being displayed! What a piece of luck!

Lol!

I actually think it's pretty cool (and smart* of them).

*I mean, a giant underground vault that stores your holy text; who knows, in a million years L. Ron might be the new Jesus when remnants of humanity discover the lost scrolls...

At least we can (mostly) safely laugh at them and their beliefs. I hope we can do that with all religions someday.

Either that or the scientologists admit they busted a disgruntled groundskeeper halfway through drawing the world's largest dick with a tractor, and they feared Xenu was going to take the graffiti art as a proposition?

It's late. I'm going to bed now!

Two of my neighbors think I look like a " Reptillian" but they did lots of acid in the past.
I should have told them my family has always been Masons,then they REALLY would believe it :lol:
