Alien Life

I do not believe that “aliens” exist. However, I have heard that Scientologists might. Jokingly or otherwise, the fact that some people suggest that Scientology is connected with extraterrestrials was a cause enough for me for look into this phenomenon.
Publicly, Scientologists do not acknowledge the story they believe in that involves extraterrestrials. Nevertheless, over the years, a consistent story has leaked to the public that is now widely known by those who go looking for it. This is the story of an alien dictator of a Galactic Confederacy, Xenu, who brought humans to Earth millions of years ago. As the narrative goes, Xenu was about to be taken from his throne. So, he wanted to get rid of a mass part of the population. To do so, he “paralyzed them and froze them in a mixture of alcohol and glycol to capture their souls” and then disposed of them on Earth at the bottom of volcanoes. Next, hydrogen bombs were placed into the volcanoes. Few citizens were to have survived this explosion. Apparently, it is a tale meant only for “members who have already contributed large amounts of money;” it is a part of their “Advanced Technology” doctrines. You can hear the full story here.
To be frank, I find this idea and story to be insane. The whole theory is ridiculous. I can fully understand why Scientologists do not want this leaked to the public—they will come off as a crazy cult, their biggest fear. When I searched the terms alien, Xenu, and Wall of Fire, which is the title of the story within Scientology, all on the Scientology home page, I either received “no results found” or was referred back to the homepage.
To an extent, I can understand how the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on the cross and his resurrection could also seem unbelievable and ridiculous and some and how the Xenu story is no different. On the other hand, Hubbard had yet to count me as one of his followers.
