I understand that it's a film version of Scientology beliefs, much in the same way The Ten Commandments was a film version of Christianity

Sounds like your friend is well on his way to becoming a white supremist possibly of the Christian Identity sort.

Your obviously more patient than I would be. I remember a few years ago when a two popular celebrities (one black the other white) were supposedly dating my brother called the white guy a "nigger lover". I just about ripped him to shreds. I have no patience for bigotry.

On my television, I get TBN, CBN, and the Catholic Channel, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I thought I would try to count the christian references one day. In the 2 hours I watched of "News" there were 4 references to God, miracles, and a miniture bible so small you need a microscope to read it on Good Morning America, 3 God Bless our troops on the CNN/FOX/MSNBCs, and 2 religious stories on the local news.

If the media is controlled by Jews they are doing a good job of using Christianity as a cover.

Correct. The story itself was written by L. Ron Hubbard (founder of the $cientology cult.)

I think you mean "Judaism."

I don't think that's actually true--it's based on a science fiction novel by L. Ron Hubbard, but the novel is separate from the science-fictional beliefs of scientology, which you can read about here, for example.
