SQ@CC

Claiming to be the only major religion founded in the 20th century, Scientology has created a stir well into the 21st century. With a relatively small following, it has nonetheless outstripped the reputation and household status of many other much larger religions. What is all the stir about? Listen in as Brian and Luke take a deep dive into the founding, history, and core tenants of this modern cult.

Show Notes

Scientology has carried a mystique and an aura of shadow that has piqued people's curiosity ever since its founding. It promises to help man transcend himself through rigorous 'rundowns' and through this causing him to 'revert' to a non-reactive mind thus becoming more spiritually stable, powerful, and responsible. This is in stark contrast to the teachings of Christ and as you will find out, the teachings and worldview of the founder were derivative of the dark arts. You will see people who passionately do not wish to remain as they are but are being led down the wrong path through the promise of personal power. Listen in as Luke and Brian go step by step through the murky and disturbing history of this modern cult.
