Questions to ask a Morman

[Rhizomorph13]

Why is Scientology so popular with those Hollywood weirdos? I don't get it.

My guess would be the pragmatic approach at improving how people react to existence. Don't get me wrong, I think it is very wacky, but it is also well planned out with levels and criteria for advancement. I think it is popular because it is self-help fused with technology, elitism, and power. With an e-meter, (which is a galvanic response machine probably the least reliable component of a lie detector, but I digress) it is said that one can free themselves from their reactive mind. This promises to allow for a much greater amount of self control which will lead to better acting.

Here's one:

If the angel who passed on the message is called Moroni.. why aren't you called Morons?

They have money that Scientology wants

Plus they think they're better than their capabilities. Ego's a terrible handicap.

Well said. I dislike those people who think success is all down to luck and lucky breaks. Defeatist type attitude...but I hate it when there are those arrogant successful people, who think they're better than everyone else just because they're succesful. And as if they had no luck, zero. It's from one extreme to the other.

I much more admire successful people who have humility.

I agree, ego is a terrible handicap. Well, especially when it's an overly big one anyway, an arrogant one. I'm not entirely sure that no ego is a good thing, it's just not good to have an oversized one. But then, how oversized is oversized? I'm not sure on that one yet, whether no ego or a bit of one is healthiest. I mean, ego is often thought of as bad, but then on the other hand, it's natural to have one, however small - to at least have one. This is something I think about actually.

Is an "ego" required? I think perhaps it depends how big of one it is, how egotistical you are talking...

You misspelled it, and I love Eggos. They are always just the right size to fit into my toaster.

I'll keep misspelling it until you know how to say "sole" without typoing it.

You keep saying you believe in "souls", lmfao. You are typo mad.

EvF,

Ego is just science talk for soul.

So you're just labeling the scientifically supporting concept called "ego" with "sole"?, oops, 'scuse me: With "soul"?

In which case, you might as well call the Ego "Zigg Zigg Spudathon 3000", since it's the same thing huh? Just semantics eh? Nothing usual at all? Fair enough then...

I prefer the term "ego" because it's less misleading. It has less connotations of supernatural, paranormal, mystical, or otherwise superstitious BS that lack evidence

WTF is an "EGGO" Toaster? HOW TF do you get an egg in a toaster?


Here in Australia we lack some of the over refined American carcinogens.

I, however, won't touch it now because I used it to kill this really big bug in my room. It was one of those over-sized mosquito looking bugs. They freak me out.

Don't be so wasteful!

Soak the book in a strong bleach solution for 24 hours then dry it in the sun.. It will congeal into an amorphous mass, still just dandy as a bug killer and doorstop,or for disciplining small children. Once you've done this a few times it's still perfectly fine to shred and put on the bottom of your bird cage.

The Book of Mormon in inferior to a Gideon Bible as paper for rolling spliffs.

Eggo is a brand of frozen toaster waffles.

I had the book of mormon on my ipod, and i read some of it, but it was too ridiculous so i quit reading it after the first chapter.
