Sure... appreciate the belief aspect, tho it's not even really about beliefs.
The majority of people within this cult are just victims and it's hard to "blame" them unless they start the usual criminal conduct. It's basically a criminal organization which gets involved in violent assaults, fraud, blackmail etc and causes considerable damage to others - it's like having "beliefs" in the Mafia
Clearwater (Fla) has had considerable problems for years with Hubbard's scam. Here's another example based around the Clearwater area -
Scientology and the Clearwater Police and an example of police corruption/abuse.
Death squads can come in handy for removing human trash
