Written by a guy called L Ron Hubbard - this is an article describing the soul - or "thetan" as he calls it.

Thetan
(from Wiki)
In Scientology, the concept of thetan is similar to the concept of spirit or soul found in other belief systems.

Thetans have been described in the Church of Scientology in a number of ways:

A "thetan is an immortal spiritual being; the human soul."[1]
"The being who is the individual and who handles and lives in the body."[2]
"A thetan is not a thing, a thetan is the creator of things."[2]
A thetan is "the person himself – not his body or his name, the physical universe, his mind, or anything else; that which is aware of being aware; the identity which is the individual. The thetan is most familiar to one and all as you." [2]
When a person dies – or, in Scientology terms, when a thetan abandons their physical body – they go to a "landing station" on the planet Venus, where the thetan is re-implanted and told lies about its past life and its next life. The Venusians take the thetan, "capsule" it, and send it back to Earth to be dumped into the ocean off the coast of California. Says Hubbard, "If you can get out of that, and through that, and wander around through the cities and find some girl who looks like she is going to get married or have a baby or something like that, you're all set. And if you can find the maternity ward to a hospital or something, you're OK. And you just eventually just pick up a baby." To avoid these inconveniences, Hubbard advised Scientologists to refuse to go to Venus after their death. [3] [4]

Avoid Venus. Check.

If you have trouble with reading, or you just prefer cartoons to explain everything, you can watch the South Park episode on Scientology HERE

It's a real link (flash based) but the website it links to is currently down.

Taken out by the forces of Xenu?

*The South Park episode link still works - you'll need a fast connection though*.
