Ugh, scientologists.
Robert Heinlein had some interesting things to say about them, because L. Ron Hubbard was a contemporary writer associate of his back in the day.
Heinlein said, in print, that Ron Hubbard dreamed up scientology as a tax dodge, first and foremost. Hubbard was a pretty poor writer, so he made this up for extra income and as a tax shelter.
Nice, huh?

When I was the stereotypical angry young teenage male, I most definitely wished a thousand deaths upon many, many strangers, especially after learning how to drive. However, soon after becoming a bike messenger and learning that vehicular homicide is rarely intentional, I've become a bit more prosaic about it: I just want to severely damage strangers' very expensive toys. Makes 'em suffer a bit more, plus I like to think it works off the stress while causing more for them.

Time Magazine interviewed Tom Cruise last year and asked a couple questions about Scientology. Probably the first time that Time has ever managed to generate real controversy.
