It'd be pretty cool for you to give me a crash course on it. I was always curious.

It's a cult for famous people. L. Ron uses his influence over them to get crap like Battlefield Earth made into a movie because obviously no sane person would give it the green light unless they were already conveniently brainwashed by the writer of the book it's based on.

It's a scam.

Hubbard himself actually said one time "any idiot can start a religion to make money"

it's a huge scam that's been going on for a while and has scammed lots of people with power.

He's dead...the "religion" has taken on a life of it's own..It's like a giant self help support group.
