Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to
questions if they contained copoyrighted materials. After a very short
while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and
started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I
removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's
also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg
Churilov" cultist was ejected from
askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.
Abraxas_Aaran asked this question on 3/28/2000:
I have viewed programs like 20/20 who do news reports on both sides
of the "life after death" debate. Some people claim to
have had near death experiences ,while others say that there is no
afterlife and that the near death experiences are just illusions created
by the brain to comfort you while you die. All of these documented
"near death experiences" come from Catholics and Protestants
and contain the similar "bright lights" and "tunnel"
quot;loved ones". I basically feel that the near death experience
is a socially constructed myth among Christians, an illusion built by
the brain prior to death based on what the person believes to be true,
much like a dream. Why are there no documented "near death
experiences" from people of other religions,such as Islam? If
there were similar experiences from people of ALL religions, then life
after death would be a little more believable. If anyone can give me
examples of people other than Christians having near death experiences
of this nature (that is, containing the same or similar elements of
the tunnel, light, floating above the body, and loved ones), I would
really appreciate it. And please don't start throwing bible verses
at me. I would like to hear examples from people of other religions. I
see the Christian answer every day on TV.
Greg Churilov gave this insane lie on 3/29/2000:
Scientology has documented hundreds of thousands of life-after-death,
life-after-life experiences.
Read the book "Have You Lived Before This Life", by L.
Ron Hubbard" The exact answers as documented by careful
research. None of the principles of Scientology are based on
"belief". They're based on years of methodical research
and documented application upon thousands of cases.
In actual fact the Scientology crime syndicate is really all about
the Galactic ruler Lord Xenu and the freakishly bizarre belief that
75 billion or 75 trillion years ago (Hubbard's handwriting isn't all
that readable) Xenu murdered billions of his galactic citizens,
transported them frozen to Teegeeack (which is Earth) and then blew
them up by tieing them to volcanoes and dropping fusion bombs on them.
These invisible murdered space aliens attack themselves to humans and
cause their "reactive minds" which make people unhappy. After
people die, they're kidnapped and taken back to Mars for "re-
implantation" in the jargon of the cult. Then the're frozen and
transported back to Earth where they're dropped into oceans. These
humans then have to find babies about to be born to infest them.
The Scientology crooks don't tell their followers any of this until they
are brainwashed enough to swallow these insane notions to purchase what
the crooks call "OT3" or "Operating Thetan Level 3."
One has to wonder why this cultist didn't mention any of that - flr]

Subject: Life after death
[And in fact the cultist is lying. The Scientology cult hasn't
"documented" one such "after life." What the cult
does is they use a hypnotic brainwashing process that they call
"auditing" that they use to implant false memories of past
lives into their victims with.
