=Creation?=

This is a pamphlet about two religions and their views on creation. One began in Greece 500 BC at the time it was a huge religion but now it owns the title of Greek Mythology. The other is called Scientology an entire religion based around a man named L. Ron Hubbard, a Science Fiction author.

People will base entire religions on the fact that a man in the sky created the human race but the Ancient Greek religion is a myth and Scientology is a money hungry religion with nothing really supporting it.



Scientology is a religion based on the words of L. Ron Hubbard. He was originally a science fiction author, while people like Buddha and Confucius created their religion based on beliefs, L. Hubbard has been repeatedly been quoted saying "I'd like to start a religion. That's where the money is." - L. Ron Hubbard to Lloyd Eshbach, in 1949.

In Ancient Greece, it was not Greek mythology it was their religion. People would base their lives on a god who would help them and believed that these gods controlled their liveswould begin wars and such for their own amusement. Zeus apparently birthed millions of children. Unlike most religions the Gods would interact with humans a lot, they were very sexual and would get angry easily.

Ancient Greek religion believed that a titan named Uranus impregnated Gaia another titan. Together they had a ton of babies who were also titans. Chronos their son was told that his children would one day rise up and kill him. So he swallowed all his children. Gaia became upset and took his son Zeus before Chronos could swallow him. Gaia hid him away until one day he came back and defeated his father and forced the titans away. Zeus became the main god and ruled with his brothers and sisters who had been growing in his fathers stomach. They each ruled over something in the earth. Either the gods created the human race so that they could have something to truly rule over or a titan names Prometheus made humans out of clay. Either way we were made and this belief of our creation and the creation of the earth stayed as a ruling religion in Ancient Greece for many years.

Scientology is a newer religion. Some of the most famous scientologists are John Travolta and Tom Cruise. The people who follow Scientology focus more on their spirits then their bodies or minds. They believe that man was born good but throughout life becomes sinful. Scientology wants your spirit to be released and by following Scientology. Scientology has no set beliefs on creation. They say that its how you view the world. I called many churches talking to people who believe in Scientology and they all said something around the quote of "You can have whatever background of religion in scientology, its not about creation its about your spirit." (the scientology symbol)

Its a possibility that this what creation really is though. Its what you believe and how you interpret what your given. This pamphlet is here to broaden your mind and way of thinking, not change your opinions.

I would also like to thank the many people who work at the Churches of Scientology because answering 20 questions about your religion to an annoying teenage girl on a Saturday requires patience.
