    What is next? The Catholic Church sponsoring a car? I bet that if the Catholic Church sponsored a car, there would be an immediate cry from the liberal press to seperate "religion and race" Wonder if Bill O'reilly will have this in the Most Ridiculous Item of the Day....

    Oh how I long for the good old days when it was just a bunch of good ol' boys out there running laps. I understand NASCAR wanting to grow and appeal to everybody but Scientology?!?! C'mon!

    You and me both, NASCAR has had weird car owners and even more outrageous sponsors in the past. I will never forget standing in the garage at Michigan back in the 70's and seeing JOB rolling papers on a CUP car for a major sponsor.

    makes sense to me, its advertisement, made to seperate you from your cash, which is exactly what scientology is about.

    I am very "CLEAR" on that;)

    All religions are the same: Religion is basically guilt, with different rules.

    and a misquote. The punchline is "with different holidays", not "with different rules", now its not funny.

    The whole foundation of Christianity is based on the idea that intellectualism is the work of the Devil. Remember the apple on the tree? Okay, it was the Tree of Knowledge. "You eat this apple, you're going to be as smart as God. We can't have that."
    -- Frank Zappa

    The essence of Christianity is told to us in the Garden of Eden history. The fruit that was forbidden was on the Tree of Knowledge. The subtext is, All the suffering you have is because you wanted to find out what was going on. You could be in the Garden of Eden if you had just kept your **** mouth shut and hadn't asked any questions.

    Scientology, how about that? You hold on to the tin cans and then this guy asks you a bunch of questions, and if you pay enough money you get to join the master race. How's that for a religion?
