One of the most telling things about Scientology comes from L. Ron Hubbard himself. He once was interviewed in Reader's Digest. When asked about making a living as a science fiction writer, he replied, "If someone wanted to make real money in this world, they'd invent a religion." He and his contemporaries (Robert Heinlein for one) had experimented with this idea in some of their works (Stranger in a Strange Land). He created Scientology just to see if could get create such a religion. People will buy anything if it promises them perfect lives, right? It's the ultimate writers gag. He's laughing at us from the grave and his heirs are laughing all the way to the bank.
