L. Ron Hubbard

Scientology’s Death and Afterlife Scientology portrays the work of L. Ron Hubbard who founded the religion in 1957. Scientology is new in comparison to other religions, but nonetheless it has its strong following and devoted Scientologists in which they embody the work of L. Ron Hubbard. Focusing on the death and afterlife of Scientology reveals unique traits and practices in which the founder sought fit for his theory of a virtuous belief system. Fortunately, the creation of this religion is extremely

Scientology. For me, L Ron Hubbard turned Scientology into a mixture of a cult-like following, and a Ponzi scheme on the similar levels of Bernie Madoff.  For Scientologist, they believe that the Earth is 75 million years old, that volcanoes threw out spirit animals and that we came from an ancient alien war.  While studying the beliefs system of Scientology and its history, you can get a clear understanding that L. Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer. A lot of Hubbard teaching of what Scientology “stands

enthrall many fools & intellectuals alike. L. Ron Hubbard, or simply LRH to his followers, has demonstrated his

matches historical evidence. Hubbard spent the early years of his life in a series of run-down apartment buildings with a teller for the Omaha World News as a father and a mother who gave up on her independent career to marry his father. After a difficult childhood, Hubbard became an Eagle Scout at the age of thirteen, claiming to be the youngest in the country. However, the Boy Scouts only kept an alphabetical list of eagle scouts, and did not include age. Hubbard traveled abroad with his mother

sheds light on all these similarities and differences starting on their founder, Ron L. Hubbard. Hubbard was a pulp science fiction writer who wrote out his own history with long dramatized inserts. He built scientology’s theology on myths he conjured up in his head and found himself believing them as well as millions other the religions claims. The idea itself is said to have occurred 75 million years ago in what Hubbard calls the Galactic Confederacy, where an evil lord named Xenu sent humans souls

The perfect world has never existed nor will it ever. Someone persons view on something great could be another worst nightmare. In some cases people mistake utopias for dystopias. A utopia is an ideal place of state or living (“Utopia”). A dystopia is a society of characterized by human misery, a squalor, oppression, disease, or overcrowding (“Dystopia”). In George Orwell’s book 1984 the society is depicted as a utopia when in reality it’s not the perfect place, it’s written to represent a dystopia

origin myth, shrouded in secrecy and mystique, serves as the cornerstone of its belief system, providing adherents with a grand narrative of cosmic significance and existential purpose. By presenting the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard as divinely inspired revelations and positioning Hubbard himself as a messianic figure, Scientology effectively elevates its founder to the status of a prophet and enshrines his writings as sacred scripture. This mythologized account of Hubbard's life and teachings not only

Scientology takes many of its beliefs from older religious ideologies. "Mixing ideas from Buddhist and Hindu religious philosophy, science fiction, and 20th-century Western concepts in psychology and science" (Scientology), the religion's founder, L. Ron Hubbard, devised a whole new religion. This religion promotes the belief that all human beings are actually immortal spirits who are unable to find their personal identity because they are misled by their struggle to escape the universe's tendency to

Throughout society, there is an immense amount of religious organizations and groups. Though some may have been derived from ancient times, one may ask what is it that makes these groups exist so strongly today? In this paper, I will explain the components within religious groups and organizations and relate it to a contemporary example. In the textbook, Studying Religion by Gary E. Kessler (2008), it explains that there are five components that explain how religious organizations and groups

The term Thetan is used a lot in Scientology it is was they say instead of spirit. They believe that the spirit is separate from the body, and even the mind for the mind is part of the body. The brain is not intelligent, but rather is like a switch board that just directs signals through it. This leads into life after death, and from what I researched the only thing that they really talked about is that Thetan (spirit) will continue after the body has died. So it seems that the spirit will either
