If you’re familiar with the Nazca Lines or other similar designs on the earth’s surface, you’re likely aware of the alien theories that go along with them. These massive designs, so perfectly arranged, so precise, and so ancient can only be seen from the sky. How were they made? Why were they made? What purpose could they possibly have served? Have they served their purpose already?
Three hours north of Roswell, NM lies what could be the answers to all of your biggest Scientology questions. It’s also the location of what one man claims to be an “ancient alien cathedral” belonging to the Church of Scientology. There have been countless UFO sightings in the area, which makes one wonder if there isn’t a little something to this story.
John Sweeney, a BBC journalist helps to explain one of these theories. According to Sweeney, this is the site of an underground bunker for the purpose of housing L. Ron Hubbard’s texts on Scientology (on gold disks, no less), and protecting the church’s upper echelon in the event of a nuclear holocaust. But, why there? Surely it’s not just aesthetically pleasing. You can’t see the pattern as you approach… unless you’re coming in on an AIRSHIP! That’s right, just a short walk from the massive formation and protection vault is an airstrip. The pattern (two diamond shapes with overlapping circles) is meant to serve as a landmark and guide to help Scientologists return to the planet earth after “Armageddon”. This is where Scientologists go to “phone home”.
I feel a little slighted now. My church has new cushions on the pews and a fancy projector that puts the hymn lyrics on the wall for those of us too lazy to open a hymnal. They ask for donations all the time and encourage tithing. I’m beginning to wonder if they are saving up to buy an airship. Even if they are, I’m pretty sure I’m screwed. There are an awful lot of Methodists on the planet, and I dare say we’re sort of late in the game for buying a mountain to put a holocaust shelter in.
Perhaps I should start my own cult er… religion. I don’t have the funds for it yet, but I think it only fitting that my church put their bunker in England. This would be a perfect place for my people to land their mother ship.

L. Ron Hubbard was quoted as saying if he wanted to become a millionaire he wouldn’t write science-fiction, he would start his own religion. And then he did. It only goes to show that we’ve been going about life the wrong way!

I don’t have enough charisma or dedication to have a proper cult I suppose, but oh if I did. If I had the right team… ahem… hint hint…

I like Jesus too much to start something else, plus, that’s a lot of extra work with putting stuff in cornfields and accumulating so many dumb people.
Cool story, though.

I love me some Jesus too! I bet I could make some Jesus religion offshoot that focuses on one of the more obscure books of the Bible. Anything to get my own shelter and an air ship.

For as wacky as we all think these people are, they seem to have thought of everything…except for the trying to seem sane thing. Love the drawing…I know where I’d like to land.

I knew if anyone would pick up on the landing strip it would be you!

Make sure your new “religion” has a cool name.
It’s all in the name…OOOH and the Kool-aid (make mine grape)

I’m all about the Purplesaurus-Rex (grape lemonade). You could put any poison in that and it would still taste amazing. Of course I am not into poison, except through the slow torturous death of my liver via the occasional cocktail.
We’ll work on the name later.

so I pretty much think all religions are pretty crazy if you really think about them. but Scientology takes the crazy cake.

I have got to agree with you there. Of course it may be the thetans telling me to say that… who knows. I am not famous enough to enjoy Scientology.

I can’t believe the Roman catholic church isn’t all over this idea? What more proof do you need to realize the catholic church really IS off its game? I mean come on…that place in the picture above could be the new shrine to saint….peeter.
Sorry. Shall I just go to hell now?
