RE: Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief

Here's a related topic I thought of when I saw this documentary:

Was Hubbard crazy or a con man?

Personally, I vote "crazy". A con artist would have invented a much better story. The stuff about Xenu was just so batshit, it would make the Book of Revelation and the Quran look like lucid, Pulitzer material.

Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
... -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
... -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
