Quran.
Although I think Scientology is by far still the most fucked up story: Possessed by aliens.
Possessed by very confused alien souls that got here because an intergalactic alien warlord named Xenu wanted to do a genocide so he rounded up a bunch of other aliens, tied them to volcanoes on Earth, bombed those volcanoes with hydrogen bombs, captured their souls and made them go to therapy.
(For those who may have missed that south park episode)
I mean, that is the crux of the OTs. There's a reason they tell members that it's dangerous knowledge that will literally kill anyone who sees or hears it before they've been prepared by scientology. Anyone who claims to know and isn't an OT is clearly lying because they are alive, so the silly alien soul story is clearly a lie until you've been brainwashed enough.
I thought the silly alien story came out because their higher OT handbooks were admitted as evidence in a case and became part of public record.
It did. But most members aren't going to be handed court transcripts, they're going to be exposed to people trying to explain it to them.
Who are clearly lying because they're claiming to know the OT documents, aren't OTs, and haven't gone mad or died.
