Proving that you can be a musical genious and still make horrible life decisions, Beck as lost all my respect by joining a growing cult called "scientology". I'm leaving this tribe and never supporting his work ever again unless he comes to his senses and denounces his currant "religion". And anyone who thinks scientology may be worth a look into,consider this: any religion that has you pay 1,000's of dollras to "advance" to the next level of learning is a sick and immoral religion. It makes me sick. By the way ,Ron L Hubbard is a proven petiphile. look it up. its on record.

    I'm certainly not a supporter of scientology, but keep in mind that he grew up in a scientologist family, he didn't just jump on the bandwagon once he became "famous".

      Think of all the crazy shit Beck is involved in that we love . . .I have friends that are Catholic but I don't hold it against them. . . you are, of course, welcome to hate Beck but just because a belief system was formed by a sci-fi writer (regardless of his proclivities) doesn't make the followers evil. Good point about Beck not being a scientologist come lately like the chemically unbalanced Tom Cruise.

    What is a petiphile? :unsure:

    Do you mean pedophile?

    My understanding is that Scientology alleged that *Jesus* was a pedophile, not that L. Ron was...but I'm no expert.

      ok. everyone's 100% entitled to their own opinion, so here's mine:
      Scientology isn't the route I'd personally choose if I wanted to categorize my beliefs. But hey, everyone's different. Does his following Scientology affect his personality any more than the million other wacky things he does? Probably not, at this point. Does it change his genius in music? Not a bit.

      I personally feel that there's no sense turning against him for this....judgement based on difference in beliefs is why we have so many wars, so why keep it up?

      Again, just my opinion.

        I think it is interesting considering becks' sense of humor and all of the laughs you can have at the expense almost any cult, superstion, or organized religion ( see: SOUTHPARK). That being said, what I want to know is; What is the drug of choice for scientologists, Beck in particular.

      I think "petiphile" means he likes dogs, cats, parakeets, etc.

      Anyway, maybe this guy was just trying to troll.

      Beck rocks my world, Scientologist or not. What do I care what he does with the $ I give him for his albums, concerts, etc.

      There is no religion that is not based on all kinds of crazy claims and rediculous things if you look at it, so scientology is no weirder than christianity or buddhism, really. Just different. And Beck, for sure, is different.

        This brings up something my friend pointed out the other day. He said that of all religions Scientology is probably perfect for Beck, it involves aliens, celebrities, Electrodes, quasi-meditation, and all kinds of assorted weirdness that I'm sure Beck is into anyway.

          Scientology is more like a special tax for people who need to operate in Hollywood. The worldview stuff is probably more for window dressing to keep the tax-exempt status for the organization itself. By the way, I'm looking for new cult content, and probably going to start one soon. I'd welcome input...AQua

              Beck was born into scientology. His mother Bebe Hanson turned to scientology while reforming her life from drug addiction. To say NOW you dont like him is just odd. His music is every bit as good now as it was before he openly joined. Now I dislike Tom Cruise, but thats because hes just nuckin futs. Hes lost his mind. Beck dosent need to be sane.

                i found it alarming, at first, to hear that beck was a scientologist. then a friend asked me a good question: "what did you want him to be?"

                  "what did you want him to be?" Good question! My answer would be a robot :)

                      Cruise is a f-ing tool...he proved that by his childish temper tantrum when South Park made fun of his 'religion.'

                      Perhaps he's justified...I'd be pissed if people started dissing a religion in which I had to pay a half mil just to attain the highest order in. (j/k)

                      Beck doesn't give a rat's ass if you like his faith or not...he's not out there promoting it, or trying to win people over to it, is he?

                      If you discount him, you have to discount Travolta (not that there's much to discount...he's a washed up has been anyhow), DiCaprio, and a whole list of other actors/entertainers you already like.

                      Scientology is one of two prevelant 'religions' in Hollywood. The other is Kabbalah.

                      I better quit now before I start dissing on California again.

                        Thats true. Beck isnt obnoxious about it, the way some other celebrities are. I mean, Tom Cruise actually called comedy central personally and had showings of South Park taken off the air. I could just see that temper tantrum. Thats what happens when the mentally unstable get loads of power. As far as Dicaprio, he only makes one movie a year, but his salary only pays for him to be "Half" scientologist, because he only makes enough money to feed ONE third world country. And of course, gives all of it to scientology.
  • I am am not a scientologist, and never will be. But I must say in thier defence that every child still in US schools owes them a debt of gratatude. Without scientology, Big pharma would have wormed thier way into every public school in the US and gotten away with it. If you are unaware of what teenscreen is ,this on the level of building 7. A must know for every educated american that gives a dam.

    Teen Screen A scheme concocted by the pharmaceutical industry to screen the entire nation's public school population for mental illness and treat large numbers of children with controversial drugs $$

    On April 29, 2002, Bush kicked off the whole mental health screening scheme when he announced the establishment of the New Freedom Commission (NFC) during a speech in in New Mexico where he told the audience that mental health centers and hospitals, homeless shelters, and the justice and school systems, have contact with individuals suffering from mental disorders but that too many Americans are falling through the cracks, and so he created the NFC to ensure “that the cracks are closed.”

    In words relevant here, the late President Ronald Reagan aptly described government intervention this way: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, “I'm from the government and I'm here to help."

      ..that said, I do wish his ticket prices were more reasonable(I'd love to see him live, but come on...)
      and that he played to the 'people' more and not the 'masses'(though maybe it is the 'masses' who need to hear the messages the most, so now I contradict myself.. love when that happens!) Love the new album.
