To say Scientology is the way of the future absurd. That’s
like saying “Dr Posh Spice” or
“I’m in the roof insulation business”.
And, if I may say, it is unnecessarily provocative.
Don’t let a fundamental Muslim hear you say that. You think you’re going to get an
argument from me you haven’t heard anything yet!
Let’s start with the obvious; Scientology is not even
a real word. It’s like “guesstimate” or “upsize” or “Charlie Sheen”
It’s not even recognised by spell check.
Sure, we could stumble about in the effable world of
the spiritual or debate the ill-defined notion of the soul but that will get us
nowhere.
If scientology is indeed the future think of the
impact on public transport as we all mind travel and teleport everywhere? The
infrastructure would collapse along with associated industries like the people
who make all the drab uniforms the employees wear.
Sure, I’ll grant you that a future that is in the
hands of a super being who lives on a comet sounds fabulous It would be like
being watched over by an giant Lady GaGa…
Scientology from what I can tell from information I’ve
picked up a dinner parties is all about meetings. And maybe I’m just speaking
for myself but I’m not good with meetings. I barely pay attention and wish I
hadn’t eaten all the cakes and muffins that people feel a need to supply.
Also, with scientology there is an unnerving amount of
smiling and not much blinking. I can’t live in a future world where no one
blinks and everyone is smiling all the time. It’d be like living in a world
populated by game show hosts.
Besides, I can’t abide a future full of overly earnest
people, all desperately sure of the themselves determined to unlock theirs and
my full potential.
I would say to them my full potential is my business
and I would kindly ask them to keep your hands off my full potential.
If I choose not to realise my full potential then that’s
my decision.
Besides, Scientology can’t be the future because I’ve
always imagined the future to be a lot gayer than scientology apparently
allows.
