I had heard once that it was a bar bet between Heinlein and Hubbard: L Ron said he could start a religion out of nothing.

Always wondered if true.

Well, Hubbard wrote Dianetics.
Henlien wrote STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND, about an earthling from Mars who teaches new things to earthlings, like water sharing. Save your time. It is not worth reading.
