1. Is that what Scientologists REALLY BELIEVE? I mean the whole story about Xenu? Or did the Southpark writers just make it up?
2. Does anyone know how Isaac Hayes feels about this episode? I mean he is a Scientologist too. I noticed that Chef wasn't in the episode. I hope that Isaac doesn't get angry and leave the show.

You might have missed it, but there was a big message saying "This is what Scientologists really believe" flashing over the entire story. You might consider this a clue.
As with the Mormonism episode, SP gets its biggest laughs by telling the absolute truth. If anything, they made it sound far too plausible! Other parts of the story:
All the planets in the "Galactic Federation" had clothing styles and cities which were virtually identical to America in the 1950s and 1960s.
Xenu rounded up all the people by calling them in for tax audits.
The people weren't just dropped in volcanoes; they were placed around volcanoes and then atomic bombs were dropped on them.
Xenu was locked into a mountain prison and is still alive today.
Acually I saw it, I just couldn't believe it until I used Google to look up Xenu. So this is the secret that Scientologists have been guarding all this time??? Years ago until the mid 90's there was an anonymous server called penet.fi which offered the best anonymity there was for free. They got sued out of existance by the Scientologists because someone was using the server to reveal the secrets of Scientology.
By the way, I should remember this, but has Chef even been on this season? If Isaac Hayes leaves, I don't know who else could replace his voice.
