    On Scientology and Christmas:

    I believe this is how it works:

    Scientology co-opted a form of the cross to make it more palatable to Christians in the South and Midwest. The official PR line is that Scientology is a philosophy, not a religion that precludes pre-existing religions; however, the teachings at higher levels explain that all religions come from brainwashing performed on billion-year-old dead spirits that live on in the form of atomic hydrogen and are clouding your ability to succeed in the world. #scientologyholidaycatalog

    Scientologists celebrating Christmas? Um, aren't those conflicting ideologies? I guess the Scientologists never pass up the opportunity to make a buck. #scientologyholidaycatalog

    @heywhat: That's what I was wondering, but they also use a crucifix as one of their symbols. Can anyone enlighten us on the Scientology-Christianity link? Or did they just think the cross was a nifty symbol, and hey, everyone likes Christmas? #scientologyholidaycatalog

    I'm sorry, but while Dianetics might save my immortal soul, the ability to cook food saves my mortal body from all sorts of diseases. I'm gonna have to stick with fire as my most-favoritest human advancement. #scientologyholidaycatalog

    Wait, Scientologists celebrate Christmas? Does that mean they believe in Jesus or just the opportunity to make more money? #scientologyholidaycatalog

    I think the cover graphics are pretty neat on some of them. I dunno if that means I should worry or it means I'm already clear. If the latter, thanks Claritin. #scientologyholidaycatalog

    How can the "Basics" be 18 volumes? There are multi-volume encyclopedias that cover thousands of milestones in world history that aren't that long. 18 volumes of "basics" on a nutty cult? I'd hate to see how long the complete and unabridged version is.

    I remember gathering around the TV with my family to watch the L. Ron and Rudolph Christmas Special. Once cleared of body thetans Rudolph's nose begins to glow, Hermey "fair games" his supervisor, and Sam the Snowman is declared SP and shunned by the others.

    Also - that LRH photo is screaming for a Photoshop challenge. #scientologyholidaycatalog
