Someone willing to call it for what it is, even if the current administration isn't.
I wonder if the courts will handle this like they did with the people that spoke out of turn about Scientology.
We to this day I cannot find out the facts on this Religion, there is no where one can buy any kind of book explaining this faith, one has to join up before they have any idea whats going on.
I would imagine any faith that for any reason does not want outsiders snooping in and criticizing then are going to support the CAIR.
If a law is passed to allow snoops, all faiths are open to snooping.

Look up L Ron Hubbard. He wrote the books on Scientology

Thor, I have read just about everything that man has written as far as SI-FI but trying to get ahold of any on the ways, hows or whys of this so called faith are extremely difficult to find.

I thought that the book Dianetics was part of the basis for Scientology.

The Wikipedia entry on Scientology seems pretty informative and contains a lot of links to articles about the religion.

It was. Somebody just doesn't understand the concept of Google........

No,no. Dianetics is just the free sample. To really get high off of the Hubsters religious teachings you have to fork over a ton of dough, go through some deprogramming and sign a confidentiality and non disclosure statement.
The only facts anyone needs to know about this cult is that it's a huge money making machine for whoever runs the show now.
Damn! I'm so jealous.
Oh all right. Let's ask the experts.

I always figured that he wrote that book as a joke.

If someone uncovers the truth it can be printed in a newspaper without worry. The Supreme Court ruled in the early 80's that the media is protected from prosecution for what government secrets they print, even if they acquired the documents illegally. Yes, it did say that. I assume this would apply to a so-called "religion" as well.

The Hubster was a Sci-Fi writer. Most of his junk was written during WWII when he was serving in the Navy. How he transmorgified a B movie plot into his own money press is where his true genius shines through.
Maybe he used the Koran as cliff notes.

I agree.....I've enjoyed his SF work, but started Dianetics, and found it basically unreadable (they bought a ton of television advertising for it however, those spots seemed to run for years) ........I think he is the ultimate "snake oil salesman"..........
Got a mailing piece from the "Scientologists" a number of years ago, and I remember that it read like a sales brochure for a series of "self-help/self esteem seminars".......and they wanted money, and lots of it.

I think that he did......until the cult formed around it, and the money started rolling in........

Dianetics was the result of stealing occult documents from some occult group, possibly The Golden Dawn, and modernizing the language.
He also lived with Jack Parsons of JPL fame attempting some complicated ritual before running off to Florida with Parsons' wife.

Me too... considering he wrote it after saying the fasted way to become rich is to invent a religion (parapharased)

:-) Was it that Amy Simple McPherson that left her 3,000,000 number congregation to be kidnapped and 2 weeks come strolling out of the desert wearing a starched corset clean as a whistle to tell about her trials and tribulations.?
Duke I have no idea what the JPL is or of this guy named Jack Parsons.
I have a yen to read up about them. Any links.?

JPL=Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Affectionately called "Jack Parsons' Lab" as he was one of the co-founders.
Just search on "jack parsons" and "l. ron hubbard."
I originally read about it some ages ago in some obscure magazine or maybe even a bio of Elron Hu.
