It could hardly be MORE evil. Joel Send a noteboard - 22/09/2009 06:45:24 PM
I giggled a little when I found this story.

Especially upon reading Tesco's rebuttal.

And recall that the original "Hubbard hypothesis" was a $50 bet with Asimov that Hubbard could start a fake religion and convince people it's real. Sadly, Asimov won (oh, BOY did he win.... :rolleyes: )


Well I imagine Jedi religion is ever so slightly less evil than scientology...

You just don't know... they have a big complex across the street from UT, with people at tables out on the sidewalk every day offering "free personality and IQ testing" (IMHO, the test consists of: If you respond to their offer, you have neither. ) It's prompted many a discussion of scientology (which I refuse to dignify by capitalizing) among my friends and I, including:

1) Discussion of scientologists essentially blockading Hubbards home to conceal his death for about six months and

2) The habit of leaving rattlesnakes (sans rattle) in the mailboxes of ex-members.

It's a fun group; almost make those Branch-Davidians up and Waco look like good neighbors. :(
