  This episode actually revealed more details about Scientology than a lot of Scientology members actually knew

  "Do they sue people?", that's some of the nicest things they do. That is a dark, dark, rabbit hole...

  In the words of their founder L Ron Huburd &quot;There&apos;s no money in writing sci-fi novels. If you want to get rich start a religion&quot;<br><br>They turned his novel &quot;Dianetics&quot; into a &quot;religion&quot; calling it a church for the benefits such as tax exemption.

  <i>&quot;Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wanted to make a million dollars, the best way to do it would be to start his own religion&quot;</i> - L. Ron Hubbard, 4 years before he started Scientology. <br><br>And people still fell for it.

  The John Smith thing in the end credits was because, for years, the Church of Scientology has been well-known for going after and harassing anyone who spoke out or said negative things. They were protecting the staff who worked on the episode. There are so many fascinating documentaries with former members describing their experience within the church. Wild stuff...

  Apparently Scientologists tried to get moles hired by the creators of South Park so they could spy on them. After the episode aired Scientologists also went through their trash trying to find anything incriminating on South Park&apos;s creators but couldn&apos;t find anything

  R Kelly had a video anthology called trapped in the closet <br><br>That’s why he’s there and that’s what they’re parodying

  The personality tests are absolutely real. I&apos;ve seen people giving them on the street, but I&apos;ve only done online ones. I had too much time on my hands, so I did it twice. The first time I gave my &quot;true&quot; answers and got the same &quot;totally depressed&quot; result as the one in this video. The second time I put down the &quot;ideal&quot; answers and I got told I was deluded if I thought I was that happy and I clearly needed scientology.
