I was in Scientology for a couple of years in the 70's. On staff even. Got out. What got me out was that the Hubster defined scientology as "The science of knowing how to know" - and yet, he just pulled this sh-t right out of his ass. There is NO science involved at all.

The stuff that pulls people in is the low level stuff, which is actually kind of useful, imho. But the upper levels are sci-fi. A useful usenet newsgroup is alt.religion.scientology.

Very expensive. Very flawed. Hubbard was an insane genius. My summation of scientology - a fool and his money are soon parted.

Funny because he spent his entire sci-fi fortune on research that took a half of a century of time to compile. Sure he was a greedy man...

I don't understand why you are anti-scientology because you claim it's "unscientific" yet the bible has some pretty unscientific things in it to. Not everything can be explained yet. Scientists don't claim to know the meaning of life do they?

Do does that mean that any person who thinks they know something about life should be shunned because they aren't a well known, learned, nobel peace prize winning, PHD science graduate?
