Missing panel: being thrown off a bridge
Hahaha
Had the same thought, “I can prove this dude can’t fly pretty easy, see that cliff?”
Battlefield earth had a scene like that. "Man animals can't fly" and throws a person over ravine.
How can anyone remember dialogue from that forgettable Scientologist propaganda?
Was it? I thought that one was after earth with will smith.
Or were there 2 propaganda ones that happen to have earth in the name?
Cause if that is true that's lazy on them.
Travolta, a Scientologist, began attempting to adapt Battlefield Earth in the mid-1990s. He was unable to obtain major studio funding because of concerns regarding the script and its connections to Scientology
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Earth_(film)
Also Battlefield Earth is the name of one of the inventor of Scientology’s books.
That is crazy. Thank for the info. I saw it in theaters as a kid so it was quite memorable for me.
"I don't have to, because the knowledge of my ability to fly has already been imprinted upon the hearts of everyone on earth. If you truly decide to let my flying ability into your heart, you will quickly understand the power behind that truth."
The burden of proof is always on the person making the claim. If they can't prove their claim, their claim is simply dismissed. You never have to disprove an unproven claim. This is how all reality works. Religious people blatantly lie about reality, they are never to be trusted.
The key to religion is the last frame. If you don't do what they say, and think how they say to think, then they get angry and resort to abuse, violence, murder, and finally - genocide.
All this talk of flying and no-one is bothering with magic underwear?
OF COURSE I CAN FLY!!!!!
Jumps off a high building and is never heard from again
