Lauryn Sayles Jeff and PG College Bound (901) June 4th, 2013 Scientology The concept of Scientology is that, “man is basically good and that their spiritual salvation depends upon you”. Certain scientologists think that Scientology has been around for about 50,000 years, but it was brought upon people’s attention in 1954 when the Church of Scientology was invented. The Church of Scientology was invented in 1954. Scientology was created by L.Ron Hubbard. A lot of American citizens think that Scientology brainwashes people into believing that God did not create living things, but science created it. The reason why Scientology became so popular, despite allegations that it brainwashes people is because: 1) Scientology has made people think differently throughout the years;2) The theory of Scientology has evolved greatly from 1954 till now;3)The controversy of Scientology is that believing in God is not the most important part in life. According to “What is Scientology?”, Scientology is a religion that helps offer a different path to a different understanding of your true spiritual nature and your kind of relationship to yourself and your personal, spiritual, and social life. The proper goal you need to indulge in Scientology is to become filled with spiritual enlightenment and to have a freedom for all people no matter what the cause is.

Scientology has brainwashed people culturally throughout the years. According to the article, “Actor Jason Beghe: “Scientology is brainwashing” written by Roge r Friedman, it states that actor Jason Beghe said that, “Scientology creates a brainwashed, robotic version of you.” Friedman said that some Scientology groups or churches can be very mean and vicious towards you. The can try to make you do things that you’re not comfortable with doing or you don’t want to do and that is why so many people changed from being a scientologist to being a different religion. Beghe also stated that, “once you ask to be excused forever from Scientology altogether, you cannot speak to another scientologist forever.” Based on the article “The Cult of Scientology”, by Ramona Dienes-Browning, Scientology is a “brainwashing cult practiced and is publicly denied.” She stated that Scientology “locks you into physical and emotionally relationship that is only based on a coercive, brainwashing cult.” Browning thinks that Scientology needs to be against the law and needs to be stopped. The theory of Scientology became so popular, despite the allegations of it being brainwashing is because Scientology has been brainwashing people culturally throughout the years which is shown by the articles “Actor Jason Beghe: “Scientology is BRAINWASHING!” written by Roger Friedman and “The Cult of Scientology” written by Ramona Dienes-Browning.



The theory of Scientology has evolved greatly from 1954 till now. According to “History of Scientology”, the Scientology church was created in the years of 1954. It was created based on the teachings of the inventor L.Ron Hubbard. When Scientology was first invented, a lot of people didn't covert over to it and not a lot of people joined the church, only because not a lot of people liked the idea of Scientology. In “Stars Who Left Scientology” by the staff of Us Weekly, Jason Beghe did an interview at Us Weekly and he stated that he left the church around 2007 or 2008 and he was in the church of Scientology for about 13 years. Beghe said that, “it’s very, very dangerous and hard for your spiritual, psychological, mental, and emotional health and evolution.” Some people think that it stunts your evolution because they teach you really “bad ways to live.” Scientology became so popular even though it brainwashes people is because the theory of Scientology has evolved greatly from 1954 till now which is shown by the article “History of Scientology” and is also shown by the article “Stars Who Left Scientology.”

The controversy of Scientology is that you don’t believe in God. In “Does Scientology Have a Concept of God”, Scientology expresses God as the 8th Dynamic. It is explained as the urge that goes towards existence as infinity. Hubbard wrote “no culture in the history of the world… has failed to affirm the existence of a Supreme Being.” Also in “Does Scientology Have a Concept”, unlike different religions, the church of Scientology imposes in its members. Scientology has individuals who do not accept anything on faith or believing in a God alone. With most scientologists, it’s not that they don’t believe in God, it is just that God is not the most important thing in their life. Scientology has become so popular even though it includes a form of brainwashing, is because the theory of Scientology controversy is that you do not believe in God which is backed up by the article “Does Scientology Have a Concept?”

The theory of Scientology has become really po pular globally because it has a sort of brainwashing precision which makes people think that Scientology is a really good thing. Scientology has become brainwashing because Scientology made people think differently throughout the years and believing in God is not the most important thing in a scientologist’s life as it is in every other religion of belief. Scientology is not a belief that imposes God or anything on you. It helps to “guide you to eternal life and spiritual happiness.” Scientology is a belief that is frowned upon in society today, but not a lot of people know that scientologists have an open mind towards life and towards living. Some people think that scientologists believe that God didn’t create the Earth, but Earth has evolved from the Big Bang theory and organisms have created life form. Actually, in Scientology, this view comes from the theory of theta (the life force, or spirit). In fact, it is said that the creation of the universe is an inseparable part of that theory.
