Reply #33: Supposedly

[Danascot]

L Ron Hubbard, a bad science fiction writer, was a well-known atheist who started Scientology on a bet that he could start his own religion just to prove how susceptible to influence people really are. One thing led to another and as the money started pouring in, he held on for the ride.

Want proof he was a bad SF writer? Check out the story of Xenu.

Before it was spread all over the internets it was one of Scientology's ultimate secrets. It's unbelievable that anyone who was a rational person at one time would swallow this tripe.
