'Cause Scientology isn't an 800 pound gurella... they are an 8 ton gurella. They easy have the best (best meaning sleazest and most cut throat) lawyers and spin doctors ever born. Everyone even remotely related to Scientology is a f**king nut ball. And it's truly scary how much power that "church" has. >>
Its all because of how much money it costs to be a member...

Close. Scientology is based on fictional boox written by L. Ron Hubbard (I believe "Dianetics"<sp?> is the "big" one). It started out as anyother cult, but it managed to really take off in Hollywood and spread (It's currently being sued by the French government). In the early 80s (I believe) the Feds were looking into COS. But the COS, somehow convinced some d@mn court that they were a real religion. So now, they are basically bullet proof because they can justify just about everything as part of their "religion."
