From Jimmy Carr: in Concert (2008)

Fantastic stuff from Carr again. And, on the money... As much as I hate Scientology, is there anything you can really level at them that you can't level at the other faiths?
* Ludicrous story with no ability to marry it to any sort of reality at all? Check
* Collects vast sums of money from its followers? Check
* Encourages its followers to convert others to their cause or do their best to not mingle with the unbelievers if they can't? Check (oh yes, I know many Christians like this)
* Has caused millions of deaths around the world for thousands of years... oh, wait, that's only the 'other' faiths.

Sorry, my bad. Scientology wins.

Someone sent me this email yesterday before I saw this video:

Definition of Christianity: "…the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree…

Things might level out a bit if you include all the millions of aliens brought to Earth on spaceships not 'unlike' DC-9 aircraft and were blown to smithereens via the use of hydrogen bombs..in volcanoes all over the Earth (though a number which were mentioned in the text did not yet exist at the time) releasing magical pest-like spirits into the environment which now cling onto our bodies and make us do bad things.

*time for a deep breath*
