There are several creationists that are regulars on this forum so I'll vote for Scientology since I'm not sure if they're even allowed any access to outside information. :bag:

 
I don't know too much about them, I just know they creep me out. Creationism people don't believe in evolution. I think scientologists believe that John Travolta is a good actor.

I rented Battlefield Earth once. I found his performance stirring.
 
Creationism by far. Scientology is creepy only cause people don't know much about it. My understanding is that one of the main tenets is self-improvement through intelligence testing. Smarter people are regularly "ranked" higher in the "church" than others. Ain't nuthin wrong wit dat!

:rotflmao: I gotta rent that again. In a related note, ladies, I might be a free agent within the week.

A creationist could be Jewish I guess. Would you be a creationist if you just believed in some sort of creation, be it the Genesis version or not? If you believed that a giant intergallactic toad created the entire universe during its lunch break then you'd technically be a creationist, wouldn't you?

Yeah, I guess that's right. I was thinking it was the whole adam and eve thing, which would include both Christians and Jews.
 
Scientologist beleive that we were placed here by an alien race and if we deprogram our brains and understand "Thetans" then we can move on to the mother planet or some #### like that. Creationists beleive Man was made by a Deity, then that god took one of man's ribs and made him a female (apparently initially god forgot that man would eventually die and without the ability to procreate his experiment would be pretty shortlived...oops). Then man ate one of god's apples which pissed the diety off...so now we gotta kiss his ### until we die so we can go to the "mother planet" (heaven).

or a really big gopher...
 
You know, we're all just animated carbon doomed to die. a belief in anything other than that is just silly.
ANYTHING?####, I gotta stop believing in a LOT of stuff. I don't want to be "silly"
 
Technically you could vote both, could you not?Scientology is an overwhelming concept because it implies that the Universe is abundant with life.

 
Creationism.. Like there's no dinosaurs, right. Ever seen ####### Land of the Lost?
There are no dinosaurs. They are extinct. That is part of what most Creationists believe. Darwinists and Creationists have one important thing in common: they come to their final conclusions through a big leap of faith.Creepy? Here's one thing Scientologists believe:
Once upon a time (75 million years ago to be more precise) there was an alien galactic ruler named Xenu. Xenu was in charge of all the planets in this part of the galaxy including our own planet Earth, except in those days it was called Teegeeack. Now Xenu had a problem. All of the 76 planets he controlled were over-populated. Each planet had on average 178 billion people. He wanted to get rid of all the overpopulation so he had a plan.Xenu took over complete control with the help of renegades to defeat the good people and the Loyal Officers. Then with the help of psychiatrists he called in billions of people for income tax inspections where they were instead given injections of alcohol and glycol mixed to paralyse them. Then they were put into space planes that looked exactly like DC8s (except they had rocket motors instead of propellers).These DC8 space planes then flew to planet Earth where the paralysed people were stacked around the bases of volcanoes in their hundreds of billions. When they had finished stacking them around then H-bombs were lowered into the volcanoes. Xenu then detonated all the H-bombs at the same time and everyone was killed.The story doesn’t end there though. Since everyone has a soul (called a “thetan” in this story) then you have to trick souls into not coming back again. So while the hundreds of billions of souls were being blown around by the nuclear winds he had special electronic traps that caught all the souls in electronic beams (the electronic beams were sticky like fly-paper).After he had captured all these souls he had them packed into boxes and taken to a few huge cinemas. There all the souls had to spend days watching special 3D motion pictures that told them what life should be like and many confusing things. In this film they were shown false pictures and told they were God, The Devil and Christ. In the story this process is called “implanting”.When the films ended and the souls left the cinema these souls started to stick together because since they had all seen the same film they thought they were the same people. They clustered in groups of a few thousand. Now because there were only a few living bodies left they stayed as clusters and inhabited these bodies.As for Xenu, the Loyal Officers finally overthrew him and they locked him away in a mountain on one of the planets. He is kept in by a force-field powered by an eternal battery and Xenu is still alive today.

Is it too late to change my vote?Where'd you find this? :rotflmao:

These both sound equally kooky to me.

Good thing for Creationists that [icon]'s label of what they believe contains inaccuracies and is not broad enough.
Depends on which creationist stance you hold...... apparently creationists can't even agree on the simple concept of creation.

The part that made your post inaccurate and too narrow was the "Then man ate one of god's apples which pissed the diety off...so now we gotta kiss his ### until we die so we can go to the "mother planet" (heaven)." part. The second part of your statment would make Christianity and Creationism mutually exclusive, and I think we're all in agreement that some, but not all, Christians are Creationists.(And in case anyone reading this didn't minor in religion or hasn't read any of the religion threads on this board in the last year and a half, what makes a Christian a Christian is accepting God's Grace - no ###-kissing necessary.)
Then what's with all the "on the knees" action.... and asking for forgiveness for breaking the rules?

This is one of the funniest things I've ever read. :rotflmao:
 
Being creationist in no way precludes evolution. Now if you are talking literalists, then you might have an argument that one would preclude the other in the genesis of homo sapien.I can tell you Scientology is whacked because I know that I cannot aspire to be God, nor create any of my own universes. I would say some sects of Mormonism more closely relate to this aspect of Scientology.

 
I say that anybody who doesn't believe that humans and apes both evolved from a common ape-like ancestor (and all the various other offshoots of evolutionary theory) is a definitively creepy person.

I'd say that anyone who thinks that we DID evolve from apes is both creepy (and naive)

Evolution theory does not posit that mankind evolved from apes. But that's a common misunderstanding.

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard anybody say ever.

It does, however, posit that man and apes evolved from a common ape-like ancestor (the wording I used). And I suspect Melly won't even be willing to concede that either. I don't get people.

But the question at hand is how creepy that system of belief is relative to scientology. Based on the evidence provided in this thread, I'd say the voting public has it right.
I haven't voted yet. It's still a toss-up for me.
