The creator is this cool dude who uses the phenomenon of religion to con people out of money or something. He might half believe the 'religion' himself though. I think slashdot had some articles most likely. |

i asked myself how one would come to beginning a religion besides pretending to believe your own fiction stories and making an extra bug from it, it's also the practical transition from an 'applied philophy' to avaid taxes and escape accusations of being bogus science, as the articel says: "An Internal Revenue Service ruling in 1967 stripped Scientology's mother church of its tax-exempt status. A federal court ruled in 1971 that Hubbard's medical claims were bogus and that E-meter auditing could no longer be called a scientific treatment. Hubbard responded by going fully religious, seeking First Amendment protection for Scien- tology's strange rites. His counselors started sporting clerical collars. Chapels were built, franchises became "missions," fees became "fixed donations," and Hubbard's comic-book cosmology became "sacred scriptures.'" , because the founders wive practitioned them already |
