Welcome Back Kotter,
If John Travolta chose to follow the career path of an airline pilot instead of acting, I'm pretty sure he would be fairly successful at it and earn his 4 bars.
Have you heard about his buddy Xenu and the Galactic Confederacy that dropped off aliens on this planet millions of years ago and blew them up with H-bombs around volcanoes? Seriously folks, I'm not makin' this crap up! Travolta and the rest of the Scientology weirdos actually believe this crap! Go to www.xenu.net to read more about Travolta's "religion."Yep. I do not know why people hate this guy so much.
I'm not saying that JT is a loser but, cool toys, sex with an okay looking woman and a large bank account does not a winner make.
Let's go to the Tote Board to see who's a dork:
1. Anybody here own a B707 and a G?
2. Anybody here banging Kelly Preston?
3. Anybody got a checking account balance with 7-digits (to the left of the decimal point!)?
He wins.
Deal with it, losers.
You know how I know you're gay? You used the term "man crush."

Well, for starters, my religion isn't based off of a failed screenplay called "Revolt in the Stars" written by a science fiction author who once said "you don't get rich by writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion." A couple of years later, Scientology was born.Have you read the Bible? What makes your "religion" more believable than his?
If it was just a bunch of rich actors, I probably wouldn't care. The problem is that the rich actors are just the ones that get the media attention. This a large organization with many members from the lower and middle classes that fork out virtual fortuned to this "church" for auditing, courses, and various other products and services. These people can barely afford to get by, but they've been brainwashed by this group to believe that they need to give as much money as possible to the COS so they can achieve some higher "operating thetan level" to become happier and healthier. This organization is dangerous, and it most certainly is not victimless.Who cares what a bunch of rich actors believe in, they aren't hurting anyone.
He is definately not a real pilot because ANY pilot on this board with his coin would never put on a pilots uniform again !!!!!!!!
I will happily fly my G around in shorts and flipflops not having shaven for a week
Cant be any worse then seeing regional pilots in full uniform at WalMart!!! :beer:
I just saw a Comair knuckle head the other day in Cincinnati at a Walmart with the leather coat on and the hat shopping for deodorant. I even snapped a pic with my celly. Thinking of posting it.
All present day, "reputable" religions were once cults too. The world doesn't have room for another religion. That's why many "start-up" religions have trouble. The established religions have been around for so many years that they have become accepted as legitimate. For all one knows, David Koresh (Waco, TX 1993) could have been the next Jesus or Messiah if given the chance. Every religion has some outlandish mystical beliefs that have never been proven to have actually occured.
Religion is what you choose to believe. You are born into a particular religion. God is not a sole entity belonging to a particular religion, but rather an energy we create and energize.
Man has the mental capacity to comprehend a force greater than himself and conceptualize it as a god who presides over a particular religion. In primitive times, the world/universe had a very complex structure that man could not understand due to the lack of science and technology available. What could not be easily explained through humanly pragmatic thought was assessed/concluded to be attributed to a higher being who oversaw and had great discretionary influence over our existence. In other words, god was responsible for the unexplainable. The church was an important spirtiual part which provided direction and guidance to those willing to believe.
Religon provided a means to a proper and pious life which meant success and good luck. Every religon has the same generic framework. There are rules which one must adhere to in order to benefit in the afterlife. One is promised eternal bliss for living a finite mortal existence within a defined set of rules or behaviors.
Anyway, at some point during the enlightment period, science had advanced to the point of debunking many truths of the church. Clearly, science was becoming more reliable than religion.
Society requires cooperation, otherwise chaos will soon ensue. The three main devices in place are Religion, Penal Law and Moral/Ethical codes. These facilities help maintain predictable order and cooperation and provide a line of defense.
One needs to instill the fear of an all-knowing and seeing god inside a child. This child is developing their understanding of and interaction with, soceity. They must be groomed to fit in and obey the laws which have been created to ensure a stable people. That child must be made to believe that even if no one is looking, a omnipotent god lerks, who knows and see all. Laws and moral codes also provide and promote similar modes of conduct.
anyway....
