Scientology

First things first, this is not a very smart thing to say when holding public office. It is probably wiser to say that you do not agree with the beliefs of Scientology, or that you think there is no foundation for these beliefs, or even better anything fancy that will go over the heads of people with IQs below 80. Saying 'stupid' obviously gets you sued.

But..... that doesn't mean the guy isn't right. Quite frankly, 'stupid' is one of the top requirements for being part of Scientology. The only other way to get into that club while having the ability to pass an IQ test is:
a) having a mental illness
b) using massive amounts of dope

What if I told you that a long, long time ago, about 75 million years ago, there was an evil dictator by the name of Xenu. Xenu was facing tremendous problems, which all had to do with a problem of overpopulation. Therefore he tricked a shitload of aliens into being frozen and immobilized. The aliens were then sent to Teegeeack, now more commonly referred to as Earth. Hydrogen bombs were then set to explode in volcanoes, killing all aliens. This could have been a great way of solving the overpopulation issue, but the souls of these aliens attached themselves to human bodies. These souls are called Thetans and are the source of your unhappiness. Of course, the only way to get rid of these thetans is to give me massive amounts of money. I will accept cash, money order, paypal, credit card, lapdances and various food groups as payment. No cheques please.

If you are wondering what the above paragraph has to do with scientology and stupidity, ask yourself how stupid you will need to be in order to believe any of that. Let me then inform you that that is the exact thing Scientologists believe. After all, the organisation was founded by a science fiction writer. What else did you expect? A story about a dude and a cross and a rooster? Now, that would be stupid!
