It’s amazing the things that are dug up by local Albuquerque television news teams.
Congratulations go to Sean who wonderfully and recently summarized Scientology. This prescient move in lieu of this development will probably make our resident Xian fundie commenters breathe a sigh of relief as we proceed to mock the likes of Tom Cruise and John Travolta (I can imagine their reactions to this “Wait… I changed my mind!”).
The writing of a mediocre Sci-Fi novelist engraved by Scientologists on “stainless steel tablets and encasing them in titanium capsules” while sinking them “…deep in these New Mexico hills in steel-lined tunnels, said to be able to survive a nuclear blast…. stored in heat-resistant titanium boxes and playable on a solar-powered turntable, all containing the beliefs of Scientology’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard.” I can only fear that these will be the only remnants of humanity that survive our extinction and that aliens, far more advanced than we, will land on Earth, find the tablets, and then chortle at our onetime existence.
I would like to comment further on said issue; however, having ruptured my spleen from the pressure of laughing so hard, I must now get to the local hospital. Please, someone, continue the mockery for me.
Bwahahahahah!
“Buried deep in these New Mexico hills in steel-lined tunnels, said to be able to survive a nuclear blast, is what Scientology considers the future of mankind,” ABC’s Tom Jarriel said in his report. “Seen here for the first time, thousands of metal records, stored in heat-resistant titanium boxes and playable on a solar-powered turntable, all containing the beliefs of Scientology’s founder, L. Ron Hubbard.”
Other religions preserve their sacred texts. Nothing strange there. Scientology leaders apparently just don’t want to misplace theirs, and maybe this is why somebody put the giant circles on the scrubland. Because there’s nothing worse than arriving from deep space, and not knowing where to park.
And, um, the big crop circles are going to survive a nuclear holocaust?
The funny thing is, I don’t think Hubbard believed any of this shit.
It’s amazing how much power and money these mental deficients have. How can you be so freakin’ dumb and yet so good at acquiring wealth? Either that or the upper echelons of the “church” don’t believe jack about this shit and it’s just a giant pyramid scheme. I would say that is the most likely explanation.

Anyone have any Scientologist encounter stories?
It just goes to show that in a few years (about 50), one can take the mediocre fictitious writings of ElRon and turn it into religion. The other major religions have had thousand’s of years to develop asinine beliefs…but I can’t say that surprises me.
Wasn’t Hubbard and atheist? Didn’t he freely admit that he was going to show how silly and false religion is by starting his own (for profit)?
Does anyone else think the etchings look like giant boobs? Kinda fitting, if so …
