"So, Scientology, you have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for Earth has just begun," the pair wrote.
"Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!!"
This was from a statement released by Trey Parker and Matt Stone reference the re-airing of an episode where the creators of South Park take a poke at this new "religion", that has among its followers such high profile people as Tom Cruise and Isdaac Hayes (the voice for Chef from the show). Aparently Tommy's in a ruffle over it because it pokes fun at his religion, and wants the episode pulled, which it was.
Glad to see the boys took it all very seriously! And now for your reading pleasure and education.... a brief blurb about the "thetan" and "Xenu".... Kind of astonishing really.
In the doctrines of Scientology, a body thetan is a thetan who is 'stuck' in, on or near a body because they have lost their free will as a result of an event in their past. There are many types of events which result in a thetan losing its free will.
They cease being a body thetan when free will is restored. There are several Scientology counselling 'processes' which help a body thetan restore free will.
A body thetan (or group(s) of them) can contribute to a person being sick or having difficulty with a body part.
Body thetans are first addressed in Scientology counselling level OT III (Operating Thetan level 3), as part of the revelations about Xenu. On this level one learns that many body thetans are the disembodied souls of the billions of space aliens brought to Earth and blown up by nuclear bombs by evil galactic overlord Xenu.
A thetan who is just 'hanging around' of their own free will, perhaps to become a woman's next child, is not (necessarily) a body thetan.
Wow and I though Pentecosts were weird.
