BBC Documentary on Scientology

You probably know that top Hollywood stars Tom Cruise and John Travolta worship a religion called "Scientology". Scientology is highly controversial, and as for me, I just cannot understand why highly intelligent people like Cruise and Travolta would believe in this kind of pseudo-science stuff.

In May of this year, the BBC broadcast a Panorama documentary about Scientology which reveals the creepy way this wacko cult operates - the Scientology people actually hired spies to secretly follow the BBC crew around as they were making their documentary. This, and other devious tactics practised by the Scientologists, are aptly depicted in the BBC documentary which can be viewed on Google Video:

More facts about Scientology can be found at the Wikipedia website ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientology ), and it makes for fascinating but disturbing reading. There is also a 3 minute South Park cartoon satirising Scientology, but which actually contains a condensed but accurate depiction about Scientology's beliefs:
