The Dink Network

Scientology is a religion founded by a science fiction author (who I can't remember the name of at the moment), and they believe that billions of years ago an alien race took some alien prisoners to a volcano on earth, threw them inside, and said prisoners died. However, there were an awful lot of these prisoners (billions, I think), and their souls lived on. These souls are considered 'body thetans', and attach themselves to human beings, limiting human potential. Advanced scholars in scientology who have driven the body thetans out of their body can (supposedly) fly, kill people by thought alone, and so on. Quite a few (*coughdumbasscough*) celebrities are Scientologists, including Tom Cruise and that one guy who plays Chef on South Park.

If you think that's one of el ink o' red's patented odd jokes, you're sorely mistaken. That is a pretty good summary of Scientology, at least what I can recall from memory.
