Scientology is neither a religion or a cult. It is a business. It is a company. It is a source of revenue. L. Ron Hubbard as most of you know spent the majority of his life as a science fiction writer and was once given the notion the way to sustain true success and profit is through religion. In my own mind I like to believe that Dianetics was written as complete satire and those who follow it our just too dense to get the overall message.
One of my favorite books is The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. Just imagine if everyone who ever read that book took it seriously. I can’t say Hubbard wrote it to be satire or not, but in my mind that’s what I want to believe. To me it just makes sense that way.
Hands down it’s just a business. Cult and religion aside; those running the “church” don’t care how people view it as long as they keep profiting and long as people/groups don’t pose a major threat to them.

Its not the scripture or the religions I hate, its the power and the dollars behind it.
Hubbard’s history is hilarious and the beliefs of Scientology is twice as funny. Seriously – if you haven’t, read it!
Yes, it is cult.
