Scientology, how about that? You hold on to the tin cans and then this guy asks you a bunch of questions, and if you pay enough money you get to join the master race. How's that for a religion?
I don't think I know a Scientologist except when I see one or two of their actors on the Hollywood screen.
L. Ron Hubbard [founder of Scientology] was a falling-down drunk who drank himself to death.
But I think also you look at Scientology it is the fastest growing religion. It's helped so many people.
The goal of Scientology is making the individual capable of living a better life in his own estimation and with his fellows and the playing of a better game.
I do know a lot about Scientology. And I know about the practices. I know all about what the technology is and all that kind of stuff. It's very helpful.
Well, first of all, going off with dianetics was based upon a thought of mine.
Adapted from the novel by L. Ron Hubbard, who cranked out sci-fi pulp by the cubic ton, 'Battlefield Earth' has the musty feel of the days when the genre's highlight was Flash Gordon.
Battlefield Earth is like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time. It's not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way.
Dianetics is an adventure. It is an exploration into Terra Incognita, the human mind, that vast and hitherto unknown realm half an inch back of our foreheads.
[on L. Ron Hubbard] I'm not in favor of his religion by any means. But he wrote a book called 'Battlefield Earth' that was a very fun science-fiction book.
I don't think any religion makes any sense and I think people who are into that are really getting duped, and I don't think Judaism makes any more sense than Christianity, and I don't think Christianity makes any more sense than Scientology. But here's a guy, L. Ron Hubbard, who told all his friends, 'Look, I'm gonna start a religion, 'cause I can't make any money as a science fiction writer.' I mean, he admitted that publicly! At least with Jesus Christ, you can't go talk to the guy.
There's too much - I don't know what the word is - scientology in the game.
This [Scientology] is useful knowledge. With it the blind again see, the lame walk, the ill recover, the insane become sane and the sane become saner. By its use the thousand abilities Man has sought to recover become his once more.
When I hear about a man talking about having been taken out to the Van Allen space radiation belt of space ships that were essentially the same thing as the DC-8, I've got to tell you, I mean, if we're talking about this man's credibility, that certainly raises some questions in my mind about his credibility.
See {586857} which is the statement from Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard claiming this experience.
I believe L. Ron Hubbard resolved the human mind, and in resolving it he has also resolved human pain - that's what I really think has happened here.
I love talking about Scientology.
Dianetics is a milestone for man comparable to his discovery of fire and superior to his invention of the wheel and the arch.
Scientology is used to increase spiritual freedom, intelligence, ability and to produce immortality.
If someone wants to know about Scientology, they should just go and read about it themselves. That's the best way to do it.
Scientology is probably one of the most misunderstood things, and it's sad that it's so misunderstood.
I am a writer of the textbooks of scientology.
Scientology is weird because it's new.
