The Germans are right about Scientology - it isn't a religion. Lord L.Ron certainly never intended it to become the monster it has; the guy was just looking for some extra bucks 'cause he wasn't making it as a 5-cent-a-word sci-fi writer. He called it a religion in order to get a tax break, and that was his BIG mistake. Religions attract the nutters, especially oddball ones with space aliens and zippo-meters. The guy got trapped and was never able to escape the blood-sucking horde. I've always felt a bit sorry for him, myself. Living a half-mile from the main Scientology center and having worked for a pair of them, I can say from experience that they are the CREEPIEST bunch of whackjobs I've come across in L.A. And that's saying a lot.
