Thanks JBWriter for reminding everyone of that complete insanity!
I just posted it on the Stupid Thread, as follows:

Thanks to JBWriter for reminding everyone of this astonishingly stupid (not to mention delusional, criminal and psychopathically destructive) claim by Hubbard that simply asking someone to "Look at my finger" a few minutes a day will cure cancer.

"Now the little trick I want you to pull on your friends is a
very simple one--very simple one. Anytime you see somebody
bunged up, you know with a blister or wart or something of the sort,
just put your finger on it and say: "Look at my finger, look at my finger,"
each time he does, "Look at my finger", even though it's the back of his neck,
you see?"Look at my finger, look at my finger," just keep that up for a while.
And if it's something real bad like uh, oh I don't know,
cancer or something like that, keep doing it, keep doing it, keep
doing every day for 15 or 20 minutes a day--it'll go away.
And you will become a miracle healer. There is no charge for
giving you the stuff and essence of being a savior, you
can go and be a savior with this any time you want to."
Okay, Scientologists and Indie Scientologists, this is your big chance! I have left some space below blank so you can explain how it is that L. Ron Hubbard can claim a "free" 15 minute cancer cure and not be a complete fraud, con man and delusionally criminal profiteer & exploiter of human suffering? Explain that to us, please:
What? No explanation?
Yeah, I thought so.
