Yeah, so what? I believe in all that. *sn-word* Actually, it should be obvious by now that Scientology is a meta-joke on religion as such. Hubbard figured that if he changed a few of the terms, threw in some Fifties cod psychology (with some fairly retrograde politics to boot) and a bunch of New Age mysticism, he'd have a perfect synthesis of the absurdity of religion. He just never knew when to quit.
