Notice: Fredric Rice may have removed segments of the replies given to questions if they contained copoyrighted materials. After a very short while, Scientology "experts" refused to answer questions and started cut-and-pasting copyrighted cult propaganda. Additionally I removed URLs in some of the replies, and left them in others. And it's also important to note that eventually the unfortunate "Greg Churilov" cultist was ejected from askme.com for his typical Scientological behavior.



Subject: what am i?

Anonymous asked this question on 1/23/2000:

Ok.. I find the whole God thing a little hard to believe. It doesn't make sense that he created us, but yet will not give any proof that he exists. And I don't want to hear that the bible is proof because it's not. The bible was written by man. And if you have ever played the pass it on game at school, you know when it gets to the end of the line... it's always changed. So forget the bible. Then they tell me you can feel him, or you can feel the holy ghost. Well, sorry I felt anything. Plus, I hear if you don't believe in God you will be punished by not going to "heaven". Well why should anyone believe it? He has not proved it to anyone that he is real. I don't know the reason we are here, or who created us. I am scared to die because I think it will be like sleep with no dreams forever and I cannot fathom the idea of not waking up, but anyway... I look to myself for guidance because I don't want to waste time praying to some one I am not even sure is there. I am just not sure what to believe... so what am I? Also.. if you have any ways to get real proof i'd like to hear them.

Greg Churilov gave this wonderfully freakish rant on 1/24/2000:

OK: Your beliefs are a personal thing and it would be moot and destructive to tamper with anyone's deeply rooted beliefs. Those are emotive and subjective things, and even if your beliefs are wrong (I am not saying they are) you would be doing yourself a disservice by going against them. A viking would believe in Valhalla and be a better viking as a result. Depriving him of that belief could've destroyed him.

"Who Am I" is an o this exercise with me. Look at your body. That is your carriage, your ID card, the thing that you move around. Think of it as your hardware, or your interfacing tool to communicate with others.

Now close your eyes, and picture a cat. Get an image of a cat. Did you do it? go ahead. Visualize it. OK, that thing that produces images for you to see, that thing that displayed the cat for your benefit, that is your mind. Your mind is not your brain by the way. Think of it as software, kind of.

Think of it as that collection of images and perceptions that allows you to orient yourself. Maybe we could call it your Operating System (I'm just working with analogies here).

OK, Now for the $10 question. WHO is looking at that image of the cat? Close your eyes again. See the cat? Who is looking at the cat? What is looking at the cat? that is YOU.

You are a non-physical, spiritual entity, an awareness-of-awareness unit. You can use words like spirit, elan vital or soul to describe yourself. Think of yourself as the operator, the user.

If you think of your body as a car, your mind as the instrument panel, you are the driver. You are immortal.

You have been around for trillions of years.

You will survive your body, as you have survived many previous bodies. You have tremendous potential which you have forgotten about, you are so stuck in the petty little game of pushing this one body around that you are like some kid playing a video game and taking it so seriously that he's forgotten it is a game.

You are YOU. Best, Greg

[Good grief. That's Scientology for you: Making the able more able.

And yet no mention of the fact that the individual who asked this question is infested with invisible murdered space aliens that only Scientology can scrape off of you -- for a price - flr]
