Weirdo

Today someone funnily called me a weirdo, with genuine glee, at my costume.

Today I am a one-day Scientologist - handing out pamphlets and asking people if they wanted to complete a free personality quiz. I think I caught many people off-guard, and one person asked if I was serious! In which case I replied "it's Halloween."

Of course, no one filled out the quiz - it's 200 questions long! But people who popped by my desk just to peak at the quiz were given jelly-beans and chocolate. The quiz of course, was genuine - from the sect's official website. The pamphlet was made up - yet filled with phrases that are genuine and true to Scientology. I spread no lies about it, and give no reason for any Scientologist to sue me - the few people I talked to knew I was joking - and for those who were serious about finding more information about it I'd give them a print-out of the personality quiz and an official address where it could be mailed to. In spite of my readiness to hand out the personality quiz, and to direct them to the official website, I had no takers. They just wanted the jelly-beans and chocolate.

Oh well, I tried to spread the word of Xenu and the body Thetans... A fellow Scientologist does what she can. I can now see why Scientology is such a hard sell.

Tomorrow and for the rest of my life, I can sigh a huge sigh of relief and return to my agnostic/atheist ways. I will no longer have to convert, save, and promote Scientology amongst the masses.
