Today, my fiancé spent three hours arguing with his mom about how Scientology is a cult followed by simple-minded asshats; she shouted at him saying Xenu will come and fuck his shit up for not believing. This woman is going to be my children's grandmother. FML

People that believe in that are literally retarded. It's a scam. Apparently they keep people locked up in camps, Scientologists..

Right. Did you not read the FML at all, darling? Because she seems pretty psycho from where I'm standing. Not sure if you want a psycho taking care of your kids...

You're just saying that because you're not thinking "clearly".

I enjoy freedom in what I think. I'd be a Jainist if I could give up pets and meat (animal suffering). So I'm more Buddhist. And I've seen families broken up or trips go astray because of where everyone goes on Sunday. Tell your mother you will be in charge of the children's religious upbringing.

If? What is possibly keeping you from giving up pets and meat?

Considering that #1: Scientologists are not taught about Xenu and Incident II until at least OTIII rank, and #2: Xenu is not a "god" of Scientology (he's a bad guy, actually), and would have no business "getting unbelievers", I find this story kind of questionable. Unless his mom heard about Xenu through unofficial channels and came to the wrong conclusions. In Hubbard's writings, Xenu is a corrupt galactic overlord who brainwashed the "thetans" (souls, for lack of a better term) that would later come to occupy human bodies on Earth. It's pretty complicated, but some web searching can get you the more detailed story. Wikipedia's account is also pretty solid, if you'd rather get it all your craziness in one place.

So she wants her son punished by a brainwashing, corrupt galactic overlord. Perhaps she wants him to be enlightened like she is, so they don't have to have this argument again?

How are her religious views any less important than, oh lets say, christianity? Its all made up anyway so why would it matter if she teaches your kids about xenu or god or whatever.

Because not only is it made up, it is also dangerous. More people have died because of one imaginary sky daddy or another then from anything else. Besides, religion or lack of religion is a personal choice to be made at an appropriate age, not one to be made for you by your parents, grandparents, or anyone else for that matter.

To OP, it seems more a matter of how pushy it is, not how its old its books are.

Being in Clearwater, I get to watch both the followers and protestors. One day I was driving home and a guy was holding a sign that said Scientology kills. He was wearing a purple hat and tights and a pink cape, looking like some kind of deformed Wario. He almost killed me, because I was laughing so hard I almost wrecked.

Chances are she won't even be able to keep in contact with you guys. You're going to be labeled as "Oppressive Persons" and she's going to have to disconnect from you.
