My understanding is that L.Ron Hubbard who was a science fiction writer took one of his science fiction books and turned into a bible sort of thing called Dyanetics (??) .... and that became a religion????One story is that Robert Heinlein and Hubbard were in a bar, and they made a bet about making up a religion. The results were Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land," and Hubbard's "Scientology."

I wonder if he collected on the bet? It amazes me how people like Cruise and Travolta could be pulled into something like that ... but then, the NT says people will follow those with itching ears ... why is it that the simple message of Jesus can't be believed .... people have to search out this weird stuff .....
