[FONT="]I don’t wish to lay on a Dagwoodism as just another confusing overlay to sort through as to whether Scientology is a cult or not a cult. Or to provide just another blabbering blurb about nothing like you so often find. But my take on it is that Scientology fails once again as it does not even measure up to being a legitimate cult in that it in no way mimics the orthodox in an unorthodox fashion to acheive any shred of legitimacy. Orthodox religion that becomes hijacked by a charismatic religious zealot who leads his flock astray by using grotesque misinterpretations of sectarian theology but only with a spin that places the flock under his sole control as the new prophet of his latest delusion would be a classic cult. But Hubbard WAS a prophet of nothing, much like Seinfeld did a show about “nothing” as he liked to say. But then it turns out he was a Scientologist when his comedy career took off and Hubbard’s concepts and beliefs in the gullibility of an audience no doubt influenced Seinfeld’s comedy writing. People are desperately gullible and will cling to the flimsiest of illusions and Scientology is such a flimsy illusion about nothing that it fails to even qualify as a cult. It is a scam about nothing. It’s a trap not a cult and is without ever so much as a cloak in which Hubbard could hide the dagger. It really only qualifies as a trap about nothing except parting you from your money by whatever trick necessary and is masked as a religion purely for the purpose of paying few taxes and having greater freedoms protecting it while leaving you largely unprotected. The pretense of religion gave him the perfect vehicle to run you over with. To call it a cult is to give it way too much credit and to call Hubbard a cult leader is to give him far too much credit. But then, he was only interested in your credit card. [/FONT]
