Do you think Scientology sells anyone on its belief?

RE: Do you think Scientology sells anyone on its belief?
CoS is one weird cult. In my country they indoctrinated followers in several ways, one of which was business/leadership training. This form of indoctrination did not mention faith at all but the trainees were offered an opportunity to 'know more' at the end of their course. Apparently, it was a special way to recruit more or less influential people into their ranks. CoS did not fare well though - it was subsequently banned as a dangerous cult.

Speaking of the Xenu story itself, I'm not much surprised that people buy into it. It's not all that different from the New Age stuff after all.
