Gentlemen, start your thetans!

Scientology bought sponsorship on a NASCAR car. It'll say Dianetics on it and have the trademark volcano.

I personally think Scientology is pretty goofy, but on top of this a religion getting a NASCAR car is hilarious. I wanna see Jesus, Buddha, and Mohammed cars too!!!

My god is faster than your god. I wonder if I could make a few bucks by selling Jesus-Fish decals with the word NASCAR inside.

Scientology is not the first religion to make its way into racing.

Morgan Shepherd has competed the past few years in the No. 89 Victory in Jesus Racing Ministries car. NASCAR had to sign off on his paint scheme, and refused to let his first offering onto the track before finally agreeing to allow the message "Racing With Jesus" onto the hood of the car.

And in 2004, Bobby Labonte drove the season-opening Daytona 500 in a car that advertised Mel Gibson's movie "The Passion of The Christ.

Buddhists and Muslims better get in on this action quick, they're losing market-share every lap.

I smell another Fast and the Furious sequel. Just take the script from Sister Act 2 and replace the singing with racing.

Re: Scientology goes NASCAR!

Scientology sadly makes the most sense of all the mainstream "religions".


Too bad they're ****ing nuts like the rest of 'em.

Well, of course. Their new episodes seem to be nothing but what they watch on tv rather than make something original.

Re: Scientology goes NASCAR!

scientology is NOT a religion, its new age garbage people want to belive in to look cool or explain something with even more bogus crap. scientologiest should be shot outright for their stupidity, then shot again to make sure their idocy does not spread to other stupid foak.

no respectable religion would ever post crap like ads, or other business style crap - ohh wait, thats where all religion is going. if you need to sell your religion to people then its time to pack up and return to whatever god you created becuase your only running your religion into the ground. i dont want to be heckled to join anything, i dont want to see different religions on cars, i want it where it belongs, in places of personal worship and inside private homes where it belongs.

sorry, i have no time or place for stupidity, i think natural selection should remove those who are wasting our precous resources. im not aithest, i cant even spell it, im just tired of very stupid people inflicting their trash on other weak minds and acualy making them dumber.

You say this like it hasn't always been satire...

I wonder if the alien ghost spirits will make the car go faster...

But in southpark's case, everyone knows they can make an episode in a few days, and all they have to do is take something that's happened recently and slap an episode together. When they first started, being topical was nice because no other animated show could do that, but after all those years the novelty is a bit old.

I still like southpark, but it doesn't seem like they're trying that hard anymore.

Scientology is no more goofy than Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, or Rastafarianism.

Believing that an evil alien overlord named Xenu froze billions of his followers in carbonite and killed them by dumping them into a volcano in Hawaii, where their spirits became "thetans", which Xenu brainwashed by showing them images of religions and violence before these thetans posessed the still primitive humanity, is most certainly more silly than believing in God.
